Samlex 360W Fully Isolated DC-DC Converter - 15A - 30-60V Input - 24V Output

The Samlex 360W Fully Isolated DC-DC Converter (Model IDC-360C-24) is a galvanically isolated power conditioning unit engineered for marine electrical systems where voltage stability and noise isolation are critical. This 360-watt converter accepts input voltage from 30–60 volts and delivers a highly regulated 24.5-volt output at up to 15 amps, making it ideal for powering sensitive electronics, autopilot systems, radar arrays, and auxiliary battery charging on vessels where high-voltage engine alternators would otherwise introduce electrical noise and ground-loop interference.

Full galvanic isolation between input and output stages is the core advantage here. Unlike non-isolated converters, this topology breaks the common ground path that typically causes interference in sensitive marine navigation and communication gear. The 15-amp output capacity (360 watts) covers most small-vessel charging scenarios and accessory loads without requiring oversized battery banks. The wide input voltage range (30–60V) accommodates variable charging states across dual-battery systems and ensures stable operation even during alternator voltage spikes or during heavy auxiliary load conditions. High efficiency means minimal heat generation during extended operation in confined engine compartments.

This converter is built for cruising fishermen, weekend boaters, and offshore operators running modern integrated electronics suites. It's particularly valuable for retrofitting older vessels with new-generation fish finders, chart plotters, and communications systems that cannot tolerate ground-loop noise. The compact form factor (6 × 4 × 8 inches, 3.3 lbs) fits standard marine electrical panel installations without requiring extensive rewiring or reinforcement. Samlex America's IDC-360C-24 represents the industrial-grade power management standard in isolated DC-DC conversion for marine environments.
