The WisBlock Boost Converter Module – RAK19002 provides a regulated 12V output for powering external sensors and peripherals within a WisBlock system.
This module can deliver up to 12V at 50mA and is designed to be mounted on the WisBlock sensor slot of the RAK5005-O Base Board or other compatible WisBlock base boards.
The output voltage is controlled via a WisBlock Core IO pin, allowing software-based control of the 12V rail.
This makes it ideal for powering external devices only when needed, helping to reduce power consumption in low-power IoT applications.
