Pololu 9V Step-up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator S18V20F9
Ensures stable 9V output from 3V to 30V input
Incorporates reverse-voltage and over-current protection
Achieves 80-90% efficiency with SEPIC topology
Offers multiple connection options with terminal blocks or pins
Fits securely with four mounting holes
The Pololu 9V Step-up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator S18V20F9 is a versatile switching regulator designed to maintain a stable 9V output from a wide range of input voltages, spanning from 3V to 30V. Utilizing a single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) topology, this regulator efficiently adjusts the input voltage to the desired output, achieving typical efficiencies between 80% and 90%. It is particularly suitable for battery-powered applications where the input voltage may fluctuate above or below the target output voltage as the battery discharges.
This regulator is equipped with several protective features, including reverse-voltage protection, over-current protection, thermal shutdown, and an under-voltage lockout that activates when the input voltage falls below 2.5V. The device is capable of delivering an output current of approximately 2A when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, although this may vary based on environmental conditions and other factors.
The board is designed for ease of integration, offering multiple connection options through terminal blocks or header pins, and includes mounting holes for secure installation. The ENABLE pin allows the regulator to enter a low-power state, significantly reducing quiescent current consumption. This feature can be left unutilized if not required.
Note: During normal operation, this product can become hot enough to cause burns. Exercise caution when handling the regulator or any connected components.

Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
