Power clean, isolated power from 12 VDC to 12 VDC with the Victron Orion-TR 12/12-18A (220W) Isolated DC-DC Converter. This compact module provides a stable 12 V output with galvanic isolation, protecting sensitive electronics and reducing ground-loop issues. The remote on/off terminal lets you switch the unit with a low-power signal—perfect for engine run/stop systems or low-current control circuits.
Key features and benefits:
-
Remote On/Off Terminal: Eliminates the need for a high-current input switch; control can be from a low-power switch or an engine run/stop signal.
-
Isolated power: galvanic isolation of 200 VDC between input, output, and case for safer, cleaner circuitry.
-
Paralleling capability: An unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel to increase output current as your system expands.
-
Protection & reliability: Short-circuit proof and high-temperature protection; output current reduces at high ambient temperatures to protect the load.
-
Rugged mounting: IP43 protection when screw terminals are oriented downward; screw terminals for quick, tool-free installation.
-
Input & wiring: Input fuse (not replaceable) on 12 V and 24 V input models; maximum cable cross-section 16 mm² (AWG6).
-
Wide input range: 8–17 V input; undervoltage shut down at 7 V and restarts at 7.5 V.
-
Precise, adjustable output: Nominal output 12.2 V; adjustable 10–15 V; output voltage tolerance ±0.2 V; noise 2 mV rms.
-
Performance: Continuous output current 18 A at nominal voltage and 40°C; 10-second max 25 A; continuous power 280 W at 25°C and 220 W at 40°C; efficiency 87%.
-
Low idle draw: No-load input current < 80 mA; current consumption < 200 µA when disabled via its remote port.
-
Additional specs: DC connection via screw terminals; maximum cable cross-section 16 mm²; weight 1.3 kg (3 lb); dimensions 130 × 186 × 70 mm (5.1 × 7.3 × 2.8 in).
-
Not battery charging: Not intended for battery charging (consider using an Orion-Tr Smart for battery charging).
Designed for reliability in harsh environments, this converter delivers steady, isolated power for automotive, marine, and off-grid projects. For support, returns, or repairs, please contact your dealer.
