Our Review

After integrating the Xl6009 Red Boost-Xl6009 4A Boost Converter Step Up Adjustable 15W 5-32V to 5-50V Dc-Dc Power Supply Module High Performance Low into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Type: Step-Up (Boost), Input Voltage: 8-40V, Output Voltage: 1.25-26V adjustable.

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 Xl6009 Red Boost-Xl6009 4A Boost Converter Step Up Adjustable 15W 5-32V to 5-50V Dc-Dc Power Supply Module High Performance Low 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

  • High efficiency minimizes heat waste
  • Screw terminals accept a range of wire gauges
  • Compact module saves board space in tight enclosures
  • LED indicators show power and charging status

Watch Out For

  • No reverse polarity protection on input
  • Electrolytic capacitors age and degrade over years
  • Fixed output voltage on some modules limits flexibility
