Upgrade your projects with the PTN04050C 6W Adjustable Boost Regulator. Converts 3.3V/5V to up to 15V. Perfect for battery-powered DIY electronics!
The PTN04050C is a high-performance "boost" (step-up) power module designed to make life easier for students and electronics enthusiasts. If you are working with a low-voltage power source like a 3.3V battery or a 5V USB port but need a higher voltage (like 12V or 15V) to drive motors, sensors, or displays, this tiny module is your perfect solution.
It is incredibly efficient (up to 87%) and delivers up to 6 Watts of power. Because it is a plug-and-play module, you don't need to worry about complex inductor or capacitor math—just add one external resistor to set your desired output voltage, and you're ready to go!
Wide Input Range: Works with input voltages from 2.9V to 7V, making it compatible with most standard batteries and USB power.
Adjustable Output: Easily set your output voltage anywhere from 5V to 15V using a single external resistor.
High Efficiency: Operates at up to 87% efficiency, meaning less heat and longer battery life for your portable gadgets.
Tiny Footprint: Its small, compact design fits easily into tight breadboard layouts or custom PCB projects.
Safety First: Includes built-in protection against over-temperature (thermal shutdown) and output short-circuits.
On/Off Control: Features a "Remote On/Off" pin so you can put the module to sleep when not in use to save power.
Battery-Powered Projects: Step up a single Lithium-ion or AA battery pack to power 12V LED strips or motors.
USB Gadgets: Convert 5V from a power bank or laptop into higher voltages for specialized sensors.
Student Lab Kits: A reliable power source for university-level circuit experiments and prototypes.
Portable Audio: Powering small amplifiers that require 9V or 12V from a 5V source.
Robotics: Providing a stable voltage for microcontrollers and motor drivers in small robots.
Input Voltage: 2.9V to 7.0V DC.
Output Voltage: Adjustable from 5V to 15V.
Output Power: Up to 6 Watts.
Efficiency: Up to 87%.
Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (Great for various environments).
Mounting Type: Through-hole (Standard pins for easy soldering).
