Product Overview
The Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) is a DC to DC convertor that is capable of both boost and buck voltage regulation. The device features two independent SEPIC (Single Ended Primary-inductor Converter) regulators allowing the input voltage to be above or below the desired output voltage. There are two regulators (one 5V and one 12V) each with two current limiting PTC’s (500mA and 2A). Reverse polarity protection is included.
The VRM has been used in the 2015-2021 FIRST Robotics Competition Kit of Parts. As of Sept 10, 2020 according to FIRST blog these will continue to remain competition legal in future years.

Pricey, but works well
This device is just what the doctor ordered for supplying regulated 5V & 12V various components like the radio and auxiliary devices like Raspberry Pis and Arduinos. It's a little more than I'd like to pay for a transformer, but the power that comes out is clean.

Voltage Reg Works
This is a great module except for "feeding" the wires into the small connectors. We went to using the ferrule connector and saves a Ton of time.

"Burned out"
"Beware that if too much current is put thew the unit it will no longer work, no fuses, reseting breaking nothing just a paper weight"

"features and specifications"
"how do you expect me to know how to use this. You should have the details out on this product already. (AndyMark response 1/10/15: We apologize for the missing information. The information we have is now available.)"

Another new component to find space in an already tight footprint. I wish the overall cost was better on the package
