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 Dred Swindler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worthless, can't hold voltage and current.

Using to power a raspberry pi. Constant undervoltage warnings when tuned to 5.1 volts as required, or even when tuned to 5.25 volts which is USB rated maximum. Source power supply is 24 volts at 350w (15 amps) so that's more than enough current. Will try adding capacitors but probably just gonna keep using external power so I don't ruin my computer.

Pros
  • With its small, portable design, the converter is convenient and easy to use in a variety of settings
Cons
  • May not be as efficient as other step-down regulators on the market
