Product Description

The MT3608 is a high‑performance DC‑DC boost converter module. It steps up 2-24V input to a continuously adjustable 5-28V output, delivering up to 2A peak current. With onboard Type-C and MICRO USB ports, you can power it from phone chargers or power banks. Perfect for powering Arduino projects, driving LED strips, or adding a boost stage to portable devices.

⚡ Quick Start Guide & Important Tips

🔹 What You Get & What You Need
✅ This board does: Steps up low voltage to higher adjustable voltage (5V-28V)
❌ This board is NOT: A buck converter (output must be higher than input), nor a constant current source
🔧 You will need: 2-24V DC power source (battery/USB charger/etc.), multimeter (recommended), wires
New to this? Check our Starter Kit – includes jumper wires + input power cable

🔹 Wiring in 3 Steps

1.Power Input: Connect 2-24V DC via Type-C/MICRO USB or solder to IN+/IN- pads.
2.Adjust Voltage: Monitor output with a multimeter, slowly turn potentiometer to desired voltage.
Connect Load: Power off, connect your load to OUT+/OUT- pads.
⚠️ Note: Output voltage must be higher than input voltage – boost converter only.

🔹 Common Questions
❓ Can't reach 28V output?
Ensure input voltage is adequate (≥2V) and load current is below 2A. Lower input voltage reduces maximum output capability.
❓ Module gets hot?
Normal under 2A load or large voltage differential. Ensure ventilation, reduce load if overheating persists.
❓ Can I use a single Li‑ion battery?
Yes. A 3.7-4.2V battery works well, but output current decreases as input voltage drops.
❓ What is the maximum input voltage?
Do NOT exceed 24V – exceeding will damage the chip.
