Our Review

For $15.31 CAD, the LM2596 Adjustable DC-DC Step-Down Buck Converter Module with LED Voltmeter Display, Voltage Regulator 4.0-40V Input to 1.25-37V Output Power Supply Module packs respectable specs: Type: Step-Down (Buck), 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.

For the price point, the LM2596 Adjustable DC-DC Step-Down Buck Converter Module with LED Voltmeter Display, Voltage Regulator 4.0-40V Input to 1.25-37V Output Power Supply Module delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where power & batteries components are essential.
