• Output Voltage: Fixed 12V DC
• Maximum Output Current: 5 Amps
• Power Output: Up to 60 Watts
• Conversion Efficiency: Reaches up to 95% under typical conditions
• Standby Current Draw: ≤15mA for minimal idle consumption
• Ripple Voltage: ≤200mVp-p with dual capacitor filtering
• Operating Temperature: –20°C to +65°C
• Storage Temperature: –40°C to +85°C
• IP Rating: IP67 (protected from dust and immersion in water up to 1m for 30 minutes)

Highlights

• Durable Design: Enclosed in aluminum with silicone-sealed joints, the module is built for long-term operation in environments exposed to vibration, dust, and moisture.
• Silent Cooling: No fans, no noise. Passive cooling through the robust metal case keeps things efficient and maintenance-free.
• Color-Coded Wiring: Pre-stripped leads make it easy to identify and connect: red for 48V+, yellow for 12V+, and black for shared ground.
• Compact Form Factor: Fits neatly into tight compartments—perfect for vehicle or equipment retrofitting.
• No-Spark Lever Terminals: Simplifies installation without tools or risk of shorting.

Where It Excels

This 48V to 12V converter is a go-to solution for a wide range of DC power needs:

• Vehicles & Fleets: Use with 48V truck or hybrid systems to power 12V dash cams, radios, or lights.
• Boats & RVs: Weatherproof performance makes it perfect for marine electronics and off-grid appliances.
• Solar Installations: Regulate panel output for 12V battery charging or direct powering of 12V gear.
• Industrial Automation: Provide clean voltage for PLCs, relay controls, and machine sensors.
• Hobbyist Builds: Feed consistent power to 12V electronics from higher-voltage sources like e-bike batteries or solar banks.

Simple Setup Instructions

1. Prepare Wires: Strip 10mm insulation from each lead.
2. Input Connections:
   • Red wire → Connect to 48V positive
   • Black wire → Connect to 48V negative
3. Output Connections:
   • Yellow wire → Connect to 12V positive load
   • Black wire → Connect to 12V negative (shared ground)
4. Secure Terminals: Use lever nuts to lock wires in place.
5. Test Output: Confirm 12V output with a multimeter (tolerance ±0.24V).

Built-In Protections

• Overcurrent Limiting: Caps current at 5.5A to prevent damage from load surges.
• Short-Circuit Shutdown: Instantly disables output when a short is detected.
• Thermal Cutoff: Automatically shuts down if internal temperature exceeds 85°C.
• Reverse Polarity Guard: Prevents damage from incorrect wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this to power 12V LED devices from a 48V solar panel?

A: Absolutely. It’s perfect for powering 12V lighting or equipment from 48V sources, up to 60W total load.

Q: Is this suitable for use in a marine environment?

A: Yes. With IP67 waterproofing, it handles splashes and brief submersion. For saltwater use, rinse with fresh water afterward to avoid corrosion.

Q: What happens if the input voltage dips below 35V?

A: The converter will automatically shut off to prevent unstable output. It resumes normal function when input voltage returns to range.

Q: Will it work with lithium battery systems?

A: Yes. It supports Li-ion, LiFePO₄, and lead-acid batteries, provided the input voltage remains between 35–60V.
