Victron Energy Orion-Tr 12/12-9A (110W) DC-DC Converter

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr 12/12-9A (110W) is a non-isolated DC-DC converter designed to stabilize and convert 12V DC input to a regulated 12V DC output. With a compact aluminum enclosure and passive cooling, it is ideal for mobile, marine, and off-grid applications where reliable power conversion is essential.

Advantages

High efficiency of 87% minimizes power loss, while the wide input voltage range (9-18V) ensures stable operation even with fluctuating battery voltages. The remote on/off feature allows easy integration into larger systems, and built-in protections (over-temperature, short circuit, input over/under voltage) safeguard both the converter and connected equipment.

Suitable for

• Mobile installations (RVs, boats, vehicles)
• Off-grid solar systems
• Industrial and telecom applications
• Battery charging systems requiring regulated voltage
