C6A1 150W DC-DC Boost Converter Module

The C6A1 is a non-isolated DC-DC boost converter module that steps a 10-32V DC input up to an adjustable 12-35V output at up to 6A, with a maximum output power of 150W. Output voltage is set with an onboard multi-turn potentiometer, so the module can be matched to a specific load—for example boosting a 12V vehicle supply to 19V for a laptop, or to 18V and 24V for other equipment. Conversion efficiency is rated at 94% (measured at 16V input, 19V output, 2.5A), and the module uses a large toroidal inductor and dual heatsinks for thermal headroom.

Output power is 100W with natural air cooling and up to 150W when a fan is added; above 40°C ambient the load should be reduced or forced cooling used. No-load current is about 25mA. The board has no short-circuit protection and no input reverse-polarity protection, so an input fuse or overcurrent protector and a series diode are recommended. Operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C, full-load temperature rise is 45°C, and the board measures 65 × 23 × 56.5 mm including the heatsink.
