Regulated 5V Dc Supply From 12V


Recommended Posts

Have used 3rd one down, actually seem quite well built. Its powering a USB powered micro wifi access point off a Scanny 95. Obviously just cut off USB if you don't want it!

 

Looks like the listings have changed.

 

I meant this one to save confusion - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-to-5V-3A-15W-Step-down-Converter-Regulator-female-Panel-mount-USB-for-car-/161006629218?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item257cbe3162

 

I'm sure I have seen CE and e marked versions available too, mines just for a test lashup so not bothered. Plus whether the markings

are genuine or just spare ink is also open to intepretation I know.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

For a little project i need a device to make 5v from 12 - 14v dc.

i know i could build a regulator and heatsink etc but id rather buy something. Any suggestions. Load is between 0.5 and 1 amp

iirc Maplins flog a simple kit, you could get a plug in stabilised adapter for about £14 from there, if sensitive kit stick a 10watt zenor diode across it to clamp any over voltage variance or spikes.

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
