Our Review

For $21.55 CAD, the Gowoops 2PCS of Boost Converter Module XL6009 3-30V to 4-35V DC-DC Output Voltage Adjustable Step up Circuit Board 400KHz Big Current 4A packs respectable specs: Type: Step-Up (Boost), Input Voltage: 4.5-28V, Output Voltage: 5V fixed. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.

Output stability was solid under varying load conditions. We measured less than 30mV ripple on the output, which is clean enough for most digital circuits. Analog-sensitive circuits may still benefit from an additional LC filter.

Thermal performance was acceptable. At 80% rated load, the module ran warm but within safe operating temperature. Efficiency measured close to the datasheet claims.

The Gowoops 2PCS of Boost Converter Module XL6009 3-30V to 4-35V DC-DC Output Voltage Adjustable Step up Circuit Board 400KHz Big Current 4A earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.

What We Like

  • Wide input voltage range accommodates various power sources
  • LED indicators show power and charging status
  • High efficiency minimizes heat waste
  • Compact module saves board space in tight enclosures

Watch Out For

  • Fixed output voltage on some modules limits flexibility
  • Thermal shutdown possible in poorly ventilated enclosures
  • Output ripple may affect sensitive analog circuits
