Voltage Dropper
24Vdc to 12Vdc Voltage Droppers
What is a Voltage Dropper?
These products offer a convenient way to operate mass produced 12Vdc equipment such as cell phones, in car entertainment, professional communication and telematics equipment, refrigerators, televisions etc. from the 24Vdc mobile electrical systems found on diesel engined vehicles and vessels.
Alfatronix offer a Comprehensive Range
There are 10 voltage dropper products in the range from 3A to 24A in isolated or common earth configurations. They have been optimised for high volume 24Vdc to 12Vdc applications such as on heavy goods vehicles, coaches, buses, construction, forestry and agricultural vehicles, commercial and leisure marine vessels.
How do Voltage Droppers work?
Installations of mobile and cellular radio communications equipment, telemetry systems, refrigeration, televisions etc on trucks, buses, forestry and off road vehicles as well as boats and yachts and a variety of industrial applications for voltage droppers.
Tamper Proof
There are no ventilation holes to permit stray objects, dust or water droplets to enter the case. There are no external fuses to be tampered with. Fuses will only blow if there is a fault so there is no need to make them accessible.
All PowerVerters are enclosed in a rugged aluminium extrusion. The low mass Surface Mount Technology components are also less prone to damage from vibration and shock, further increasing the reliability of the units.
3Amp units are excellent for charging mobile phones, while 6A units suit a variety of mobile radio applications.
Galvanically isolated units are suitable for marine applications and come complete with the green tamperproof label for petrochemical applications.
Fast Installation
All the voltage dropper units consume an off load current of less than 15mA, which is probably less than the self discharge current of the vehicle’s battery. In most cases this can be ignored, speeding the voltage dropper installation by removing the need to fit a remote switch. All products fit onto a ‘Click ‘n’ Fit mounting clip which is fixed in three points allowing it to be mounted on uneven surfaces. It is easy to fit the clip into awkward places and then simply click the unit into position. A red LED indicates when there is output from the converter. This gives reassurance to the voltage dropper installation engineer and speeds fault finding.
Where can I get a Voltage Dropper?
Whether you’re installing a voltage dropper in radio communications, data tracking, visual displays or navigation equipment. Or even a voltage dropper on a lorry, a voltage dropper on a bus, a voltage dropper on a fire engine or even a voltage dropper on a luxury yacht. For business, for leisure, and often for emergency services, you know that even the best product or the newest technology is only as good as the power supply and the voltage dropper supplying it.
At Alfatronix, we are voltage dropper specialists and we know this! A failed power supply or a failed voltage dropper is a failed system. That’s why we use only modern rigorously tested designs, automated voltage dropper assembly techniques and an award winning quality voltage dropper manufacturing system backed up by expert engineering support. With flexible working practices and short lead times, our products are delivered to you fast by reliable carriers.
And, just for your peace of mind, don’t forget, all our products are backed up by our now legendary lifetime guarantee.
