Works well for Raspberry Pi 4

I've been using this with a Raspberry Pi 4 for a few weeks. The Raspberry Pi 4 requires 5V 3A and is very sensitive to low power conditions. I had no problems. The wires are not very long (maybe 6 inches) and are relatively small wire gauges (maybe 20 gauge). Therefore, if you need something longer, you will need to connect it with a heavier gauge wire. The rectangular Type-C USB connector is very convenient for my purposes.

Pros
  • OUTPUT max 15W to 3A at 5VDC
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great solution for Raspberry Pi4

This is the second 12V to 5V converter I have purchased for the RPi4. The first was the MakerFocus board, which sits on top of the Pi4 and comes with a fan, but limits the RPi4 case options. Instead, I chose this converter along with the standard sealed case, fan, and heatsinks. I like it more as this block is very efficient and keeps the pi less cool with one component failing. The price is great and it is weather resistant.

Pros
  • USB TYPE-C RIGHT ANGLE connector clearly matches Low Profile
Cons
  • Minor

Cool product for power converters

I used this to power an outdoor WR/TR outlet in a GFCI circuit (GFCI switch). . I can control both sockets and it works very well. I drilled a small hole in the back of the panel and the rest of the brick and stuck the antenna in the hole. Essentially, this placed the end of the antenna in a brick and severely impacted reception quality. Without putting the antenna through the hole, it struggled to pick up signals from my smart home hub. I have used this to power my landscape lights and…

Pros
  • WATERPROOF and sealed with over current, over voltage, over temperature and short circuit protection
