12v DC Voltage Regulator
This versatile 12v DC voltage regulator is an essential component for maintaining stable electrical systems across various applications. It efficiently converts a wide input range of 7-40 volts DC into a regulated current output, eliminating the need for dropping resistors. This simple yet effective solution ensures optimal performance and protects connected devices from potential damage caused by voltage fluctuations.
Available in two output options, 12.2 volts at 3A or 13.8 volts at 5A, this regulator caters to different power requirements. Its compatibility with both 12 and 24 volt systems makes it ideal for use in automotive, marine, and other environments where consistent power supply is crucial.
In 24 volt systems, the regulator effectively reduces the voltage to 12 or 13.8 volts, providing a stable and reliable power source for your equipment. By incorporating this voltage regulator into your electrical setup, you can ensure smooth operation and extend the lifespan of your devices while simplifying your overall system design.
One of the key advantages of our voltage regulator is its ability to replace multiple dropping resistors typically wired in-line on a 24 volt dashboard. Dropping resistors are commonly used to reduce voltage in electrical circuits, but they can be inefficient and generate excess heat. By replacing these with our voltage regulator, you can simplify your electrical system, reduce complexity, and improve overall reliability and efficiency. This consolidation of components also leads to easier maintenance and troubleshooting.
By providing a constant, regulated current, our voltage regulator ensures that gauge read-outs remain accurate and consistent, regardless of voltage fluctuations in the system. This stability is particularly crucial when using sensitive instruments or in applications where precise measurements are essential, such as in marine navigation systems or industrial control panels.
Voltage regulators are especially important when using 0-10v or 0-5v senders, as these devices require stable voltage inputs for accurate signal transmission. Our regulator helps maintain the integrity of these signals, ensuring reliable data transfer and measurement accuracy. This is particularly beneficial in applications such as fuel level monitoring, temperature sensing, or pressure measurements.
A single voltage regulator can power multiple gauges, providing 12 volts to the entire dashboard and eliminating the need for individual dropping resistors on a 24 volt system. This consolidation of power supply simplifies installation and maintenance while improving system reliability. It also reduces the potential points of failure in your electrical system, leading to increased longevity and reduced maintenance costs.
To illustrate its capacity, consider that a standard Wema 52mm analogue gauge draws a maximum current of 130mA. With this in mind:
• 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
Our voltage regulator features a built-in heat-sink integrated into its heavy-duty die-cast aluminium body. This design ensures efficient heat dissipation through simple air convection, maintaining optimal operating temperatures even under heavy loads. The aluminum construction also contributes to the overall durability and longevity of the device, making it suitable for use in demanding environments.
Durability and protection against environmental factors are key considerations in the design of our voltage regulator. All the electronics are sealed, providing IP68 protection, which means the unit is submersible up to 1.5m deep for at least 30 minutes. This robust protection makes it suitable for use in harsh environments, including marine applications, off-road vehicles, and outdoor industrial equipment. The IP68 rating ensures that the regulator can withstand exposure to dust, water, and other potential contaminants, maintaining its performance and reliability over time.
To ensure high efficiency and longevity, our voltage regulator incorporates NCC & NICHICON internal capacitors. These high-quality components contribute to the regulator's impressive service life of up to 100,000 hours, providing long-term reliability and performance. The use of premium capacitors also helps to reduce ripple and noise in the output voltage, ensuring a clean and stable power supply for your sensitive electronic devices.
In summary, our 12v DC Voltage Regulator offers a comprehensive solution for maintaining stable electrical systems across various applications. Its ability to replace multiple dropping resistors, provide regulated current, and support both 12 and 24 volt systems makes it an invaluable component for any electrical setup requiring consistent and reliable power supply. Whether you're upgrading an existing system or designing a new one, our voltage regulator provides the stability, efficiency, and durability needed for optimal performance in diverse environments.
