24V to 12V DC-DC Converter for High-Current Power Systems

The Orion 24/12-80 is a non-isolated DC-DC converter for converting a 24V DC supply to a regulated 12V DC output in automotive, marine and other DC power systems. Its adjustable output allows it to supply 12V equipment or charge a 12V starter or accessory battery from a 24V system. The converter supports remote on/off control, parallel operation for higher output capacity and temperature-controlled fan cooling for high-current applications.

Key Features

• 24V to 12V Conversion: Converts a 24V DC source for powering 12V DC equipment and systems.
• Adjustable Output: Output voltage can be adjusted to suit the connected load or battery-charging requirements.
• Battery Charging Capability: Suitable for buffer charging and can be used to charge a 12V starter or accessory battery from a 24V system.
• High-Current Output: Supports demanding DC loads requiring substantial continuous current.
• Parallel Operation: Up to five adjustable-output units can be connected in parallel to increase available output current.
• Remote On/Off: Allows control using a low-power switch or an engine run/stop switch, eliminating the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring.
• Temperature-Controlled Cooling: Fan-assisted cooling supports operation under higher loads.
• M6 Power Connections: Uses M6 bolt connections for secure high-current DC wiring.
• Non-Isolated Architecture: Input and output do not have galvanic isolation.

Suitable for applications requiring a high-current 12V supply from an existing 24V electrical system, including auxiliary battery charging and powering 12V DC loads.
