12v DC Voltage Regulator

Description

Our new 12v DC Voltage Regulator does one job, simply and effectively — takes an input of 7-40 volts dc and outputs a regulated dc current.

Option of 12.2 volts, 3A or 13.8 volts, 5A output.

Useful on both 12 and 24 volt systems — on 24 volt systems it reduces the voltage down to 12/13.8 volts, and on 12 volt systems it ensures a constant current. 

One voltage regulator will replace all of the dropping resistors normally wired in-line on a 24 volt dashboard. 

The voltage regulator provides a constant, regulated current and ensures that the gauge read-out does not alter with voltage fluctuations.

Voltage regulators are especially important when using a 0-10v or 0-5v sender.

One voltage regulator works for multiple gauges, able to provide 12 volts to the whole dashboard and replacing the need for individual dropping resistors on a 24 volt system.

As an example; a standard Wema Wema 52mm analogue gauges will draw a maximum current of 130mA, so each 3A voltage regulator can supply power for up to 20 standard gauges.  Each 5A voltage regulator can supply power for up to 38 standard gauges.

The built in heat-sink ensures the heavy duty die-cast aluminium body stays cool through simple air convection.

All the electronics are sealed providing IP68 (submersible up to 1.5m deep for at least 30 mins) protection from the elements.

The  voltage regulator contains NCC & NICHICON internal capacitor to ensure high efficiency and a long service life - up to 100,000 hours.
