D24V22F12 Bucking voltage regulator

Can the D24V22F12 12V, 2.2A Step-Down Voltage Regulator modules (Pololu Item#2855) be connected in parallel for a higher current output?

Hello.

Placing regulators in parallel usually does not work well. You might look at this forum post for more information:

Two boost regulators in parallel?

Hello all, I'm powering a pump that draws about 1A @ 9V from a capacitor bank (9V, 1.0F), via a Pololu Adjustable Boost Regulator 2.5-9.5V. The pump is set to run for about 10 seconds every few minutes. Can I use two of these regulators in parallel to increase the available output current at the end of the discharge cycle? Would the small differences in output voltage between the regulators pose any risk? Regards
