Product Description
Engineered for demanding high-voltage environments, the LM2596HVS DC-DC Buck Converter is a rugged step-down power module capable of handling input voltages up to 50V. Unlike standard LM2596 modules limited to 35-40V, the "HVS" (High Voltage Series) version utilizes a high-performance voltage regulator IC to safely step down power from high-voltage sources like 48V battery banks, industrial power supplies, or large solar arrays. At Robogears, we recommend this module for its high-frequency 150 kHz switching, which allows for smaller filter components and exceptionally low output ripple. With its multi-turn potentiometer, you can precisely tune the output voltage to power anything from 5V microcontrollers to 24V industrial relays from a high-voltage input.
Detailed Key Features
High-Voltage Input Range: Specifically designed to handle up to 50V DC input, making it ideal for 36V and 48V battery systems where standard buck converters fail.
Precision Voltage Tuning: Features a 25-turn multi-turn potentiometer for ultra-fine adjustment of the output voltage to within millivolts of your target.
High Efficiency Step-Down: Operates with an efficiency of up to 92%, minimizing heat dissipation even when performing large voltage drops.
Compact Power Solution: Despite its high voltage rating, the module maintains a small footprint, suitable for embedding into control panels or portable device housings.
Stable Power Delivery: Low ripple performance ensures that sensitive electronic sensors and communication modules receive clean, stable DC power.
