Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/12-20A (240W) DC-DC Converter

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/12-20A (240W) is a high-efficiency, non-isolated DC-DC converter designed to convert a 24V nominal input voltage to a stable 12V output. With a continuous output current of 20A and 240W of power, it is ideal for automotive, marine, and off-grid applications where reliable voltage conversion is required. The unit features synchronous rectification for up to 92% efficiency, remote on/off capability, and comprehensive protection against output short circuits and over-temperature.

Advantages

High efficiency (92%) reduces power loss and heat generation. Compact, surface-mount design with screw terminals for easy installation. Remote on/off control allows integration with battery management systems. Robust protection features ensure long-term reliability.
