Adjustable DC Power for Layout Accessories

Convert a higher DC supply voltage to the lower voltage required by model railway accessories and electronics with this adjustable LM2596 DC-DC buck converter.

The output voltage can be adjusted to suit compatible devices, making the converter useful where a lower DC voltage is required without adding another mains power supply to the layout.

Supplied with a protective mounting case, it provides a convenient solution for powering suitable lighting, control electronics and other low-voltage layout accessories from an existing DC supply.

Please note: This is a step-down (buck) converter and cannot produce an output voltage higher than its input voltage. Always set and verify the required output voltage before connecting your equipment.

What does the LM2596 buck converter do?

The LM2596 reduces a higher DC input voltage to a lower adjustable DC output voltage, allowing a single power source to provide a suitable lower voltage for compatible model railway accessories and electronic devices.

What output voltage can the LM2596 be adjusted to?

The output can be adjusted from approximately 1.25V to 35V DC, provided the input voltage is sufficiently higher than the required output voltage.

Can the LM2596 increase voltage as well as reduce it?

No. The LM2596 is a buck converter and can only reduce voltage. It cannot increase the output voltage above the supplied input voltage.
