Description

When your system requires more current without compromising stability, this industrial-grade DC Buck-Boost converter delivers. Capable of handling twice the load of our standard model, this unit accepts a wide 8V to 36V input range and locks it to a rock-solid 12V output at up to 6A (72W).

Why a Buck-Boost?

Like its smaller sibling, this converter addresses the critical issue of voltage fluctuations. It seamlessly switches between stepping voltage down and stepping voltage up to maintain a constant output.

  • Perfect for Batteries: This converter is critical for 12V battery applications (like SLA or LiFePO4). A "12V" battery can swing from 14V when charging to 10V when depleted. This unit ensures your equipment remains powered throughout the charge/discharge cycle without interruption.

Rugged & Efficient

Designed for "set it and forget it" reliability, this fully enclosed DC block features extensive internal heat sinking and protection circuitry, making it suitable for harsh environments. With 85% efficiency, it delivers a reliable balance of performance and thermal management—crucial when operating on limited battery capacity.
