Product Details

The Samlex SDC-5 is a high-efficiency switching DC-DC converter designed to step down 24 VDC nominal input (range 20-32 VDC) to a highly regulated 13.8 VDC output at 5 amps continuous. This non-isolated converter features advanced switch-mode technology for reliable voltage conversion in negative ground systems commonly found in trucks, buses, marine vessels, and heavy equipment.

Key Features:

  • Advanced switch-mode design with high efficiency for minimal heat generation
  • Comprehensive protection: reverse polarity, overvoltage, short circuit, and input transient protection
  • Temperature-compensated current limiting circuit for safe operation
  • Cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevents damage during overload conditions
  • Compact, lightweight design allows mounting in nearly any location
  • Output-side and input-side overvoltage protection for added reliability

Technical Specifications:

  • Input Voltage: 20-32 VDC (24V nominal)
  • Output Voltage: 13.8 VDC regulated
  • Output Current: 5 Amps continuous
  • Dimensions: 3.5" L × 2.75" W × 1.75" H
  • Weight: 0.4 lbs
  • Warranty: 2 Year Limited

Ideal Applications:

  • Heavy-duty trucks and buses with 24V electrical systems
  • Earth-moving and construction equipment
  • Marine vessels requiring 12V accessories
  • CB radios and AM/FM sound systems in commercial vehicles
  • 12-volt lighting systems and electronics in 24V vehicles

The SDC-5 provides a reliable solution for powering 12-volt devices and accessories in 24-volt vehicle electrical systems, with robust protection features for demanding commercial and marine environments.

paypal hard to use

Very easy

price seems okay . .

Great company to deal with. I placed an order with them (albeit an incorrect shipping address) and before you know it I'm expecting delivery in a very short amount of time. I also did have to call and attempt to correct my address error when the customer service rep let me know that all is well and set to be delivered to the correct address. I appreciate the fact that the gentleman on the other end of the phone was reassuring, courteous, and professional. I'd certainly do business with them again as the prices and customer service can't be beat!

Love shopping here, I always find what I need.

Easy fast

Best prices I have found. They got me a tracking number within 2 business days. Can't wait for my goods to arrive. Will be using this site again for sure.

Lowest price around with fast shipping. I would recommend this to a friend.<br><br><br>

great prices

so far - so good
