DC-DC Converter (12V to 24V) — Key specifications: - Input voltage: 12V - Output voltage: 24V - Output power: 360W - Output current: 15A What this product does and why you need it - Converts a 12V DC source into a stable 24V DC supply, enabling the use of 24V equipment where only a 12V source is available. - Supports continuous loads up to 360W (maximum 15A), allowing common 24V devices to run without a separate 24V battery or power rail. - Simplifies system design and reduces the need for additional batteries or power converters in mobile, off-grid, or retrofitted installations. Key benefits - Compatibility: Works with 12V sources such as automotive, marine, RV, and many solar battery systems to power 24V devices. - Performance: Delivers up to 24V at 15A (360W) to meet the demands of mid-power loads. - Practicality: Lets you standardize on a single input source while powering different-voltage equipment, saving space and cost. Important attributes to consider - Function: DC-DC step-up conversion from 12V to 24V. - Electrical ratings: Input 12V, Output 24V, Output power 360W, Output current 15A. Do not exceed these ratings to avoid overload. - Compatibility: Suitable for 24V devices whose combined draw does not exceed 15A or 360W. - Physical details: If enclosure material, mounting options, or exact dimensions are required, refer to the product listing or datasheet for the specific model. Typical use scenarios - Mobile lighting: Power 24V LED lighting arrays from a vehicle or boat 12V battery bank, up to 360W total load. - Communications and instruments: Run 24V radios, routers, or control electronics in mobile or remote installations where only 12V supply is available. - Pumps and actuators: Operate 24V pumps, small motors, or linear actuators in RVs, boats, or off-grid systems within the 15A/360W limit. Installation and safety notes - Ensure the 12V source can supply required input current; account for converter inefficiency when sizing the input supply and wiring. - Use appropriate wire gauge and fusing on the input and output circuits to protect against short circuits and overloads. - Verify that connected 24V equipment does not exceed the 15A/360W maximum continuous output. Check the specific product listing or datasheet for model-specific details such as physical dimensions, cooling requirements, and mounting instructions before installation.
