DC-DC Boost USB 5V 0.6A

Working with Arduino Boards and other low-power electronics is often fun, and allows Makers to build very complex projects without having to deal with complex transistor arrays or circuitry built from individual IC Components. In fact, with many of the hobbyist-grade microcontrollers, you can even operate them on the common 5V USB protocol, meaning that you can even provide basic power for your projects via the USB ports on your laptop or computer.

This commonplace use of 5V DC for digital electronics is what makes the DC-DC Boost USB 5V 0.6A one of the most convenient Electronics Modules that we stock, as it simply takes in the power from a battery or other low power source, and provides a handy 5V USB output at up to 0.6A current. This means that you can now power your projects from a single AA battery, with limited current up to 300mA, or you can even dual AA batteries or even a single powerful Lithium Battery to give it a higher current rating of up to 600mA.

This module’s beauty lies in its simplicity, and the simple but awesome function is perfectly complemented by its tiny form factor too, allowing Makers to easily integrate it into almost any projects, even mounting it to the side of a battery for a quick phone-charger for when loadshedding hits or possibly when you’re camping and need some extra juice for your mobile devices.

If you love prototyping and experimenting with digital electronics and microcontrollers like Arduino, and constantly find yourself needing 5V power with no nearby outlets, or if you simply want to integrate easy 5V USB out into a small project, this little module offers excellent functionality at an incredibly low price.
