AZO Digital 24 VDC / 13.8 VDC Power Converter PE-45 500W IP21

The AZO Digital PE-45 is a high-performance DC-DC power converter designed to convert a nominal 24 VDC input to a regulated 13.8 VDC output, delivering up to 500W continuous power (600W peak). Ideal for industrial, automotive, and telecommunications applications where stable 13.8V is required from a 24V system.

Advantages

High efficiency (>85%) reduces energy loss and heat generation. Active fan cooling ensures reliable operation even under heavy loads. Comprehensive protection features safeguard both the converter and connected equipment against overload, short circuit, over-temperature, input over/under-voltage, and reverse polarity. Compact chassis-mount design with screw terminals simplifies installation.
