- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $0.52 (exc GST) · 50+ $0.49 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 67 today; more stock is typically available with a 8–12 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE05174:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE05174:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Converts any DC voltage between 0.9V and 5V to a steady 5VDC. Can supply up to 600mA output current.

By connecting 2x AA batteries in series to the appropriate +/- connectors you can use a USB cable to power the target 5V device. The output current will depend on the input power source, for example, the device could be powered by a single AA battery and the output current would be limited by the battery's current output.

### Features:

- Small PFM control DC/DC boost controller chip
- Input any DC voltage between 0.9V~5V and this module will output stable 5V DC with an output current of up to 500~600mA.
- PCB size:34 (mm) x16.2 (mm) ultra-small size and can be installed in small equipment
- Onboard LED indicator shows when the input voltage is connected.
- Provides a handy USB interface power supply
- High conversion efficiency, maximum to 96%
