What is it?

The MT3608 Youth is a DC-DC Step-Up converter module based on the popular MT3608 chip, featuring a sleek Anime-inspired design. It’s more than just a functional component—it’s an upgrade for your electronics projects, both in terms of performance and aesthetics. With an adjustable output voltage of up to 28V and a reliable USB-C input, this module is perfect for powering devices like LED strips or other components requiring higher voltage from a limited input. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced maker, the MT3608 Youth is a versatile and stylish addition to your toolkit.

Why did you make it?

We wanted to combine practicality and creativity in a single module. The standard MT3608 is widely used, but we thought: why not make it stand out? Adding unique Anime designs and refining the module’s usability was our way of creating something functional and visually engaging. Our goal was to inspire makers to enjoy both the technical and artistic aspects of their projects.

From the Developer: This project started as a simple idea to improve an existing design but turned into something much more exciting. I wanted to create a tool that not only performs well but also brings a bit of personality to your workbench.

The price reflects the small production volumes — the more boards we produce, the lower the cost per unit. With your support, we hope to lower prices over time.
