Review on πŸ’₯ Comidox 1PCS DC-DC High Voltage Boost Converter: ZVS Step-up Booster Module for Capacitor Charging – Adjustable Voltage Output, 8~32V to 45~390V Power Supply by Jason Bolden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Minimum input voltage 10V (not 8V)

Inaccurate voltage rating. The 10V listed by default is the minimum input (I'd recommend at least 12), so a 9V battery won't help. Otherwise it works as stated. Addendum: Very sensitive to noise. A well-tuned boost converter will drive it with no problem, but noisier power supplies, including laptop power supplies, are useless. When there are noise issues, it appears to be an instantaneous turn on (perhaps for half a second) followed by an instantaneous turn off that can be repeated.

Pros
  • Modular design: Non-isolated boost module.
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
