Samlex SDC5 24V to 12V DC-DC Converter 5 Amp Step-Down

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.
