DC-DC Step-Down Converter 12V 10A 120W | 20–90V Wide Input
DC-DC Step-Down Converter – 12V Output, 10A, 120W | 20–90V Wide Input Range
Power your automotive, instrumentation, and industrial systems with confidence. This compact DC-DC step-down (buck) converter takes a wide 20V–90V DC input and delivers a stable, regulated 12V / 10A / 120W output — making it ideal for vehicles, LED displays, railway signals, CATV systems, monitors, and more.
Built with a rugged aluminum shell and an IP68 waterproof rating, this converter is engineered for reliability in demanding environments, from engine bays to outdoor enclosures.
Key Features
- Wide Input Voltage Range: Accepts 20V–90V DC input (nominal voltages: 24V / 36V / 48V / 60V / 72V) and outputs a rock-steady 12V DC at up to 10A (120W).
- High Efficiency: Synchronous rectification technology delivers ≥95% conversion efficiency, minimising energy waste and heat generation.
- Clean, Low-Noise Output: Ripple noise suppressed to below 50mV for sensitive electronics and instrumentation.
- Fast Startup: ≤2-second startup delay for reliable, uninterrupted power delivery.
- Multi-Layer Protection: Built-in short-circuit, over-current, over-voltage, and over-temperature protection safeguards both your equipment and the converter itself.
- IP68 Waterproof & Rugged Build: Aluminum alloy casing handles temperatures from -25°C to 80°C with natural cooling — no fan required.
- Compact & Lightweight: Only 74 × 74 × 32 mm and approximately 280g, fitting easily into tight installation spaces.
