Description
I use one of these modules on my electronics workbench. The supply is tapped of from my lab power supply's unregulated secondary (*). Since I feared short circuits and other damage running it on the bench unprotected, I designed this little two-part enclosure in Solid Edge.
After printing, drill out the four studs in the cover with an M3 tap. Put in the module, connect the supply lead and screw down the cover with four M3 x 10 countersink screws.
The 3mf container holds the SolidEdge ASM/PAR files as well as STP files! Feel free to change it and share your modifications 😊
(* The module does NOT allow for up to 36 or 40 V supply voltage, as often claimed. The A5268 step-down controllers go into overvoltage protection at around 31 V, which is also stated in the datasheet. I had to use four diodes in series to drop the supply voltage sufficiently ... the diodes fit in the enclosure as well 😎 Also, I would not trust this thing running the specified 2*15 W continuously. I tried it with 2*5 W, that was all right.)
