It accepts a wide 6V to 30V input, making it compatible with 2S to 6S LiPo batteries, and outputs a stable 5V or adjustable 9V (default 5V). With a continuous load current of 1.5A (peaking at 2.5A for short bursts), this regulator suits 4-5 inch frames like the Martian II 220, QAV250, QAV210, and X210.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes This BEC Different?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis regulator uses synchronous step-down technology for high efficiency, meaning less heat and longer flight times. The output voltage can be changed from 5V to 9V by bridging two small soldering pads—no extra components needed. It also includes overload protection (OCP) with hiccup mode, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit tolerance for up to 5 seconds per minute, adding reliability in crash-prone builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Voltage Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6V – 30V (2S-6S LiPo)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V (default) or 9V (adjustable via solder bridge)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuous Output Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak Current (5s\/min)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Load Regulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandby Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;5mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Duty Cycle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 x 14 x 3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1g per unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePin Spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.54mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Adjust the Output to 9V\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo get 9V output, you need to bridge the two soldering pads indicated in the product picture. The default setting is 5V, so if you leave the pads open, the regulator outputs 5V. Bridging them changes the feedback resistor divider to produce 9V. This is a permanent hardware adjustment—make sure your connected devices can handle 9V before doing this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs It Compatible with My Quadcopter Frame?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis BEC is designed for 4-inch and 5-inch FPV racing quadcopter frames, especially X-style frames like the Martian II 220, QAV250, QAV210, and X210. Its tiny footprint (10x14mm) and light weight (1g) make it easy to mount on tight builds. It works with any 2S-6S LiPo battery and can power flight controllers, VTX, receivers, and other 5V\/9V electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this BEC with a 4S battery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the input range is 6V to 30V, so 4S (14.8V nominal) works perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between continuous and peak current?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuous 1.5A is the safe operating limit. You can draw up to 2.5A for short bursts (5 seconds per minute), but the regulator may overheat if sustained longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with wires or connectors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes only the three BEC boards. No wires, pins, or connectors are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this regulator suitable for non-FPV applications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile designed for FPV quadcopters, it can be used wherever a small, efficient step-down regulator is needed, as long as the input and output requirements match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Usmile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58080030097711,"sku":null,"price":27.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/4478\/7503\/files\/matek-micro-bec-adjustable-step-down-regulator-6-30v-to-5v9v-15a-for-fpv-quadcopters-1.jpg?v=1781641976","url":"https:\/\/toysforkid.co.uk\/products\/matek-micro-bec-adjustable-step-down-regulator-6-30v-to-5v-9v-1-5a-for-fpv-quadcopters","provider":"Toys For Kid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
