⚠️ Important Safety Notes
- Ensure correct polarity at all times. Reversed polarity will damage the module.
- Do not exceed 36V input voltage — exceeding this limit will cause chip damage.
- Do not touch the sampling resistors or IC components while the circuit is operating, as this may cause output voltage instability and potential damage to connected equipment.
- For continuous output above 2A, attach an appropriate heatsink to the module.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What input voltages does this DC-DC step-down converter support?
A: This buck converter module accepts a wide input voltage range of 9V to 36V DC, making it compatible with common sources such as 12V car batteries, 24V truck systems, and solar panel outputs up to 36V.
Q: Can I use this converter to charge two devices at the same time?
A: Yes! The module features two USB output ports, allowing you to charge two USB devices simultaneously. The total output current is up to 3A (shared across both ports), with a stable continuous rating of 2A when used without an additional heatsink.
Q: Do I need a heatsink for this module?
A: A heatsink is not required for outputs up to 2A continuous. If you need to sustain output current closer to the 3A maximum for extended periods, attaching a suitable heatsink to the module is recommended to maintain stability and protect the components.
Q: Is this module suitable for solar charging applications?
A: Absolutely. The wide 9–36V input range makes this converter an excellent fit for solar power setups, allowing you to step down solar panel or battery voltage to a stable 5V for USB device charging in off-grid or portable energy systems.
