400W 15A DC-DC Step-Up Boost Converter Module – 8.5V to 50V Input, 10V to 60V Adjustable Output

Power your high-voltage DC electronics projects with the 400W DC-DC Step-Up Boost Converter Module from Electronics Hub. This adjustable non-isolated power conversion module increases a lower DC input voltage to a higher adjustable output voltage.

Featuring an adjustable output range of 10V–60V DC, separate constant-voltage (CV) and constant-current (CC) adjustment controls, and dual heatsinks, this module provides a flexible solution for high-power electronics and custom DC power supply projects.

The module is advertised with up to 400W peak power and a maximum input current of 15A. Its reported maximum output current is 12A, depending on the input/output voltage difference and thermal conditions.

Key Features

• Wide Input Voltage: Accepts DC input voltages from 8.5V to 50V.

• Adjustable Output Voltage: Provides continuously adjustable DC output from 10V to 60V.

• High-Power Design: Advertised peak power of up to 400W, subject to operating conditions.

• Constant-Current Control: Adjustable output current limiting from approximately 0.2A to 12A.

• CV and CC Adjustment: Separate onboard potentiometers for voltage and current adjustment.

• Dual Heatsinks: Two aluminium heatsinks help dissipate heat during operation.

• Screw-Terminal Connections: Convenient input and output wiring.

• Overcurrent Response: Reported overcurrent protection with automatic output voltage reduction when the input-current limit is exceeded.

• Compact Module: Designed for integration into custom power electronics projects.

Technical Specifications

Adjustable Constant Voltage and Constant Current

This module features two adjustment controls:

CV-ADJ – Constant Voltage Adjustment

Adjusts the output voltage according to your application's requirements. Use a digital multimeter to measure the output while adjusting.

CC-ADJ – Constant Current Adjustment

Allows you to set an output-current limit for compatible loads. Adjust the current limit before connecting the final load.

Always verify the adjustment direction and settings on your actual module revision before use.

Power and Cooling Requirements

Although advertised as a 400W peak power converter, the actual usable output depends on input voltage, output voltage, current demand, efficiency and operating temperature.

• The maximum input current is advertised as 15A.

• The maximum output current is reported as 12A.

• Long-term input current above 8A requires enhanced heat dissipation according to the product catalogue.

• Additional cooling may be necessary for demanding applications.

• Use an appropriately rated power source, wiring and connectors.

Important: Do not assume the module can continuously deliver 400W at every input/output voltage combination.

Typical Applications

1. Adjustable DC Power Supply

Build a custom adjustable DC power supply for electronics testing, development and prototyping.

2. Solar Power Projects

Use the module in suitable solar-related DC voltage conversion setups. It is a boost converter, not a complete MPPT solar charge controller.

3. Battery Voltage Conversion

Increase the DC voltage from a compatible battery source for higher-voltage electronic applications.

4. High-Power LED Lighting

Use the adjustable constant-current feature for compatible high-power LED loads. Verify the LED's forward voltage and current requirements.

5. Laptop and Electronic Equipment Power

Convert a suitable DC source to a higher voltage for compatible equipment. Confirm voltage, polarity and power requirements before connecting.

6. Robotics and Industrial Electronics

Use in compatible robotics, automation and electronic control projects requiring adjustable DC voltage.

7. DIY Battery Charging Projects

The adjustable voltage and current controls can support suitable charging circuit designs. Use a proper battery charging profile and independent battery protection; this module is not a complete battery-management system.

Input and Output Wiring

The module has separate input and output screw terminals marked on the PCB.

• IN+ : Positive DC input

• IN− : Negative DC input

• OUT+ : Positive DC output

• OUT− : Negative DC output

Follow the actual PCB markings when making connections. Never assume terminal order without checking your board.

Installation and Safety Precautions

1. Keep the input voltage within the specified 8.5V–50V DC range.

2. Verify the input polarity before switching on the supply.

3. Use an appropriately rated input-side fuse.

4. Install external reverse-polarity protection.

5. Set the required output voltage using a multimeter before connecting the load.

6. Set the current limit before connecting sensitive or high-power loads.

7. Provide adequate ventilation and heatsinking.

8. Use appropriately rated wires and screw-terminal connections.

9. Avoid exceeding the input-current and output-current limits.

10. Disconnect the input supply before changing wiring or making installation adjustments.

Safety Notice: This module does not provide input reverse-polarity protection. Install external protection. Do not assume short-circuit protection is available without testing the exact board revision.
