DC to DC converter for small electronics
Trying to locate what to look for in a DC to DC convert that I can add a barrel jack on to power a small NAS device in my camper project. The NAS takes 12volt stable for input (12v only, not 11-18v...

DC to DC conversion typically uses pulse width modulation with a feed back loop to keep the voltage regulated at a set reference under varying loads. The power is pretty dirty until filtered through some capacitors. It used to be easy to pick up all these components and scale it to your needs, but stores and user knowledge have been dieing out.
Yeah, finding any kind of small components is getting troublesome. I couldn't even find the same single pole 12 volt illuminated switches I had bought less than ten years ago (I ended up cannibalizing the originals out of Mr. KIT because I couldn't find anything nowadays half as decent a quality).
DigiKey and Mouser are still around for parts.
