NewMar 12-12-6i Power Stabilizer 12V DC-DC Converter 6 Amp

The NewMar 12-12-6i is a precision DC-DC power stabilizer designed to protect sensitive marine and automotive electronics from voltage fluctuations. This converter maintains a constant 13.6V output regardless of battery condition, accepting input voltages from 10-16V DC. By providing stable, regulated power, it prevents equipment shutdowns, performance issues, and potential damage to sensitive circuitry caused by varying battery voltages.

Key Features:

• Continuous 6 amp output with precise 1% line and load regulation
• Total input/output isolation up to 250 VDC eliminates conducted line noise
• Rugged anodized aluminum heat sink case ideal for harsh marine environments
• Conformal-coated PC board for moisture and corrosion resistance
• 85% typical efficiency with 40 kHz switching frequency
• Low idle current draw of less than 100 mA including power indicator
• Thermal shutdown protection at 70°C case temperature
• Front panel terminal block for easy installation

Application Benefits:

• Operate electronics at optimal voltage even from nearly discharged batteries
• Compensate for voltage drops in long wire runs from battery sources
• Eliminate voltage sags during high current events such as engine cranking
• Isolate loads from charging system voltage fluctuations and overshoot
• Enable connection of negative ground equipment to positive or floating ground systems

Technical Specifications:

• Input Voltage Range: 10-16 VDC
• Input Current: 8 amps maximum
• Output Voltage: 13.6 VDC (±1% regulation)
• Output Current: 6 amps continuous, 6 amps intermittent (20 min max, 20% duty cycle)
• Ripple: 150 mV peak-to-peak maximum
• Operating Temperature: 0-50°C (derate from 100% at 40°C to 50% at 50°C)
• Dimensions: 6.5 x 4.0 x 1.75 inches (165 x 102 x 45 mm)
• Weight: 2 lbs (0.9 kg)

The 12-12-6i can be factory-modified for use as a battery charger, parallel/redundant operation, non-standard output voltages, or equipped with an extreme vibration mounting kit for high-shock applications. This versatile power stabilizer is essential for maintaining reliable operation of navigation equipment, communications gear, and other voltage-sensitive electronics in marine, RV, and mobile applications.
