LM2596 BUCK CONVERTER HOUSING

thingiverse

This enclosure/housing is designed specifically for the LM2596 without screw-terminals. It's uncertain whether those with terminals will fit, so I created this housing because none of the existing ones met my design requirements. A diverse collection of connectors was gathered and put to use. They were also glued in place for added security. My supplier claims the LM2596 is rated at 3A, but I typically keep it lower due to usage mainly as step-down converters from 24V to 12V for fans that consume less than 1A each. Three output plugs ensure safe operation. Please view the attached pictures (acquired through Ali). The specifications are as follows: WHITE INPUT CONNECTOR - 10mm x 5.5mm x 13mm, with two pins BLACK OUTPUT PLUG- 11.6mm diameter threads, 14mm outer diameter, three-pin connector (only use two pins) Notches for screws have been made on the bottom of this housing if desired.
