Pacific Aerials P5028 24/12V Switchmode Converter 20A

Pacific Aerials 24V to 12V DC-DC Switchmode Converter (20A Continuous / 24A Peak)

The Pacific Aerials P5028 is a heavy-duty, high-efficiency 24V DC to 12V DC switchmode power converter designed to operate sensitive 12V communications equipment, audio electronics, navigation systems, and HF/SSB radios on vessels and vehicles equipped with 24V primary DC electrical systems. Delivering 20 Amperes of continuous current with a 24 Ampere peak capacity, this converter provides clean, stable, and regulated low-noise 13.2V DC power.

Encased in a compact, anodized T6063 marine-grade aluminum housing, the P5028 is IP53-rated for dust, splash, and impact resistance. It features an advanced high-efficiency switchmode architecture (>90% efficiency) that minimizes internal thermal generation. The unit includes comprehensive electronic protection against reverse input polarity, output overvoltage, overcurrent, and transient voltage spikes, making it an ideal power supply for harsh marine and heavy-vehicle operational environments.

Key Features

• High Power Output Capacity: Delivers 20A continuous and 24A peak power output to drive high-draw electronics and HF/SSB transceivers.

• High Efficiency Switchmode Design: Greater than 90% conversion efficiency reduces heat generation and parasitic energy loss.

• Low Noise RF Emission: Tested to CISPR25 and EMC standards to prevent interference on marine VHF, HF radio, and AIS bands.

• Anodized Marine Aluminum Enclosure: T6063 marine-grade aluminum housing protects internal electronics from corrosion and physical shock.

• Comprehensive Fault Protection: Integrated protection against input reverse polarity, output overcurrent, overvoltage, over-temperature, and transient voltage surges.
