Pololu 5V, 600mA Step-Down Voltage Regulator D36V6F5

This compact (0.4″ × 0.5″) switching step-down (or buck) voltage regulator takes input voltages up to 50 V and efficiently reduces them to 5 V while allowing for a maximum output current of 600 mA. It has a very low dropout, so it can be used with input voltages that are within a few hundred millivolts of its output. The pins have a 0.1″ spacing, making this board compatible with standard solderless breadboards and perfboards.
