Review on πŸ’‘ HiLetgo 5pcs LM2596S-ADJ Power Module: Adjustable 3A DC-DC Buck Regulator for 5V/12V/24V by Dean Gomatham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the most useful things to have in stock

I've lost count of how many Pis I've powered with this! You are so comfortable! Quite often I have, say, 12VDC, 19VDC or similar with no AC outlets and I want to put a Raspberry Pi in there. Just take one of these, set it to 5.1V with a voltmeter, THEN connect it to the Pi's 5V GPIO pins. Another good one! ATTENTION! DO NOT connect directly! Always set it with a voltmeter first. They come from the factory, are set very high, and will fry the Pi!

Pros
  • Power Converters
Cons
  • Not the best
