DESCRIPTION

The AMS1117 5V to 3.3V Step-Down Regulator Module provides a convenient way for providing 3.3V on 5V breadboards.

PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• AMS1117 5V to 3.3V Step-Down Regulator Module

KEY FEATURES OF AMS1117 5V TO 3.3V STEP-DOWN REGULATOR MODULE:

• 3.3V Output
• 5V Input.  Can use higher input voltages, but see our notes below about derating the current at higher voltages
• 800mA maximum rated current.  500mA recommended max
• Power LED
• Short circuit and thermal protection built-in
• Small footprint

This little module is based on the AMS1117-3.3 regulator and is a convenient way to drop 5V down to 3.3V.  Inputs higher than 5V can be used, but refer to our derating notes below.

The AMS1117-3.3 has built-in short circuit and thermal protection features which makes it fairly robust as it tends to safely shutdown when abused rather than bursting into flames.

The module has a red power LED when power is applied.

Module Connections

There is a 3-pin right angle header for making connections.

1 x 3 Header

• VIN = Connect to 5V
• OUT = 3.3V Output
