Review on Dorhea LM2596 DC-DC Buck Converter Step-Down Regulator 4.0-40V To 1.25-37V DC 36V To 24V To 12V To 5V Volt Power Supply Module With LED Voltmeter Display Compatible With Car Motor Buck by Chris Estes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Partially faulty- unable to set current limit

I got a package of 5 and was not able to set the current limit on any of them. I adjusted the current set potentiometer from one extreme to the other, but the short circuit current remained stuck at 2.5+ Amps. Can not be used for battery charging, but only as variable voltage power supplies. Can't argue with a 4.5 star rating - maybe I just got some from a bad batch.?

Pros
  • LM2596 buck converter stably output, voltage conversion efficiency is up to 96%. The output voltage is 1.25V-37V (continuously adjustable, the input voltage must be 1V higher than the output voltage),the output current is 2A (normal and stable), the maximum is 3A.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with sensitive electronics
