5VV10-P Pico 5V to +10kV DC-DC Converter
Manufacturer： Pico Electronics, Inc.
Package/Case： Through-Hole, 4-Pin Encapsulated Module, 2.25 × 1.125 × 0.50 in
Description： 5W non-isolated proportional high-voltage DC-DC converter with 2–5V input and positive output up to +10,000V.
The Pico Electronics 5VV10-P is a compact, positive-output high-voltage DC-DC converter from the VV Series. It accepts a 2–5VDC input and produces a proportional output reaching +10,000VDC at 5V input, with a maximum output power of 5W.
The module is designed for applications requiring very high positive voltage with low current in a compact, 0.50-inch-high through-hole package. It operates without a heat sink or active cooling across its standard temperature range.

Related Pico VV Models
5VV10: isolated 5V-input, 10kV-output version
5VV10-N: non-isolated negative-output version rated to -10kV
9VV10-P: positive 10kV model with up to 9V input
12VV10-P: positive 10kV model with up to 12V input
The isolated 5VV10 and non-isolated 5VV10-P should not be treated as identical replacements because their grounding and connection requirements are different.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 5VV10-P a regulated converter?
No. It is an unregulated proportional converter. Output voltage varies with input voltage and load.
What input voltage is required for +10kV output?
The module accepts 2–5VDC. The rated +10,000V output is specified at the maximum 5V input under the stated load conditions.
What is the maximum output current?
The maximum rated output current is 0.5mA, corresponding to 5W at +10kV.
Is the 5VV10-P isolated?
No. The “-P” suffix identifies a non-isolated positive-output version. The output COM terminal must be connected externally according to Pico’s recommended circuit.
What is the difference between 5VV10-P, 5VV10 and 5VV10-N?
The 5VV10-P provides a non-isolated positive output, the 5VV10-N provides a non-isolated negative output, and the 5VV10 is the isolated-output version.
