Automotive Dead Reckoning with ZED-F9K

Hello and happy 2022, everyone! We are back for the New Year with some exciting new products for you to start the year off right. We start 2022 off with a new Automotive Dead Reckoning board that utilizes the ZED-F9K module from u-blox. This is an incredibly handy board to use when you lose connection with your preferred satellite constellation. Following that, we have four, yes four, new power accessories to pick up. From Buck/Boost to DC/DC converters, these powerful parts provide plenty of project plans. Now, let's jump in and take a closer look at all of this week's new products!

Buck/Boost DC/DC Converter - 8-36V to 12V/6A

COM-18732
$14.95

This is an industrial grade DC Buck-Boost converter that inputs 8V to 36V and outputs 12V up to 6A or 72W. With plenty of heatsinking and protection, this DC block is perfect for battery applications that need to power a steady load even while the input is varying.


Step-Down DC/DC Converter - 36-75V to 5V/20A

Step-Down DC/DC Converter - 36-75V to 5V/20A

COM-18733
$29.95

Last up this week, this is an isolated DC-DC converter that accepts 36-72VDC and outputs 5VDC and 20A. Its high efficient, isolated design makes it perfect for powering low voltage devices off of high power batteries or power sources.
