XL6009/XL6019 5A Boost Converter Step...

The XL6009/XL6019 5A DC-DC Boost Converter is a high-performance power module designed to step up a low input voltage to a higher, regulated output voltage. At Electrapac, we recommend this module for projects that require more "muscle" than standard boosters, offering a higher current ceiling and a broader output range of up to 50V.Product OverviewThis module utilizes the advanced XL6019 (the upgraded successor to the XL6009) high-frequency switching architecture. It is engineered for efficiency and stability, capable of boosting a 5V USB source or a 12V battery to drive high-voltage LED arrays, laptops, or industrial sensors. With its low-ripple design, it ensures that your sensitive electronics receive clean, steady power.Key Features for Electrapac CustomersUpgraded XL6019 Chip: Features better thermal management and higher reliability than the older XL6009 models.Extreme Boost Range: Unlike many converters that top out at 35V, this high-performance module can reach 50V, making it ideal for specialized industrial applications.Low Noise Output: High-quality filter capacitors and a shielded inductor minimize electrical noise, protecting your Electrapac microcontrollers from interference.Precision Potentiometer: A multi-turn trimmer allows for exact voltage settings, ensuring you don't over-voltage your connected devices.Wide Input Compatibility: Works seamlessly with 3.7V Lithium cells, 5V USB power, or 12V Lead-Acid batteries.Installation & Setup GuideTo ensure your Electrapac boost module performs at its peak, please follow these steps:The "Step-Up" Rule: This is a Boost converter. The output voltage must always be set higher than the input voltage for the module to function correctly.Voltage Adjustment: Use a small screwdriver on the blue trimpot.Clockwise: Increases the output voltage.Counter-clockwise: Decreases the output voltage.Power Limits: While the chip is rated for 5A switching current, the board is optimized for 15W of continuous power. If your project draws more than 15W, we strongly suggest adding a small aluminum heatsink to the main chip.Wiring: Use high-quality copper wire for the IN /IN- and OUT /OUT- pads to prevent voltage drops.Primary ApplicationsLED Drivers: Powering 24V or 36V LED strips from a 12V vehicle battery.Networking Hardware: Running 24V PoE injectors or routers from 12V solar battery banks.Industrial Sensors: Providing a 24V or 48V rail for specialized PLC or automation sensors.Laptop Power: Creating a DIY mobile charger to run 19V laptops from a 12V car socket.Hobbyist Lab: A versatile tool for any workbench to test components that require non-standard high voltages.Why Shop at Electrapac?At Electrapac, we source modules with high-grade inductors to ensure the "Low Ripple" promise is kept.
