    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">First on your list would be my first
      choice, only because of the size of the regulator :) Also appears

      for the XL6009 part is <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.sunrom.com/get/283300">https://www.sunrom.com/get/283300</a> indicates
      that the part is up to 94% efficient, and has a wide input range -
      5-32V. Power spikes on car 12V rails can be quite large, so having
      a regulator that can tolerate a 32V spike is heading in the right
      direction.</div>
    <p>As Volker says, mechanical vibration can be a killer; all
      components need to be well secured; screwing or gluing modules to
      an insulated substrate may work well.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Looks like a great project, links to photos of the project /
      vehicle appreciated.</p>
    <p>Regards,</p>

            currently developing an ESP32 wrover, CAN Bus based dash for
            my race and rally car. I’ve already prototyped the dash
            using a Nano (which was too slow to capture every frame),
            then prototyped all but the 7 segments using the ESP32 (7
            segments are 5v LL, ESP is 3.3). I’ve recently transferred
            it to protoboard (which I’m simply using as a flat substrate
            to level and mount the modules). I need to reliably convert
            the car 12v to the 5 volt required for VCC on most of my
            devices. I’ve purchased a handful of different aliexpress 3A
            DC to DC voltage stepdown regulators and a 1.8A buck
            converter.
