Possible to change voltage on cheap Chinese buck converter
(1/2) > >>
gmc:
I bought one of these cheap ass Chinese buck converters. Supposed to take 9V and convert to 5V. The problem is I received the 3V3 version.   :(

Is anyone familiar with these. Is it just a case of changing some of the resistor values to change the output voltage, or is it setup in the chip?

I've looked on the net and can't find any details on the chip used.  All it has on 1HRE. (6 pin)

nuclearcat:
Just trace output over PCB and check if resistor divider is there(of yes, most likely you are lucky), check values, check voltage on divider while running it, and try to solder different, appropriate resistor in divider.

Why don't you just ask the seller to send you the right part? And that way you have an extra 3volt part.
Mechatrommer:
yes its highly likely to be adjustable by changing voltage divider there. and ask partial refund if its seller mistake. and next time dont buy that, if thats the price (link) you pay for it, because with adjustable buck with built-in trimpot ready, you can get cheaper, and more current too... 10PCS Super mini 3A DC-DC Converter Step Down Power Supply Module if you really want that to be fixed, you can remove the trimpot for part and put appropriate resistor in place. ymmv.
gmc:
The seller is sending me the correct part but I thought I'd see if I can get it to put our 5V.

I'll play around with the resistor values and see what happens.
