Type-C USB 5v 2A Boost converter module

DC-DC Boost Converter & USB Power Supply Module (Type-C Input)

This compact electronic module is a versatile power management board, primarily functioning as a DC-DC Step-Up (Boost) Converter to provide a regulated 5V output. It is commonly used for turning a low-voltage battery into a standard USB power source, making it ideal for custom power bank projects or mobile devices.

Key Features & Specifications

• Function: Boost Converter (DC-DC Step-Up). It takes a lower input voltage and converts it to a higher, stable 5V output.
• Input Interface: USB Type-C Port. This allows for easy and modern input of power (e.g., from a standard phone charger or computer USB port) to charge an attached battery or power the circuit.
  • Note: The "5V" labeling near the Type-C port confirms the typical input/output voltage.
• Output Interface: Standard USB-A Female Port. This provides the regulated 5V output for charging smartphones, powering microcontrollers (like Arduino or Raspberry Pi), or running other 5V USB devices.
• Key Components:
  • Inductor: The large square component labeled H2R2 is an inductor, which is a critical element in a switching boost converter circuit.
  • Polarized Pads: Clear "+" and "-" soldering pads are available for connecting an external battery (like a single Lithium-ion/Polymer cell) as the primary power source.
• Compact Design: The small PCB size makes it excellent for integration into portable and space-constrained DIY projects.

Common Applications

• Building Custom USB Power Banks using a single lithium-ion battery cell.
• Providing Regulated 5V Power to small electronics projects from a lower voltage source.
• Charging or Powering small USB devices on the go.
