Samlex Step-Up DC-DC Converter - 7A - 9-18V Input - 24V Output

The Samlex Step-Up DC-DC Converter is a 7-amp power distribution module designed to convert lower 12-volt DC battery systems to stable 24-volt output for marine electronics, navigation systems, and auxiliary equipment. Built on proven switch-mode technology, this converter delivers consistent power in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments where voltage stability directly impacts GPS units, marine radios, fish finders, and lighting systems.

The unit accepts input voltage between 9 and 18 VDC, making it compatible with both standard 12V battery banks and systems experiencing voltage sag under load. High-efficiency switch-mode conversion minimizes heat generation and power loss during extended use—a critical consideration on boats where every amp-hour counts. Built-in protections against overcurrent, overvoltage, and reverse polarity prevent cascading failures that could damage sensitive marine electronics. CE approval confirms compliance with European safety standards. The 6.3mm push-on flat pin connectors simplify field installation without requiring soldering or specialized terminals.

Boaters relying on 24-volt auxiliary systems—whether powering a bow thruster, marine winch, spotlight, or networked navigation suite—benefit from a converter that runs quietly and maintains voltage regulation under variable electrical loads. The compact footprint (4 x 2 x 4 inches) fits engine compartments, lazarettes, and console spaces where space is limited. Weekend anglers upgrading older boats with modern electronics and offshore operators maintaining redundant power systems both find this converter essential for bridging legacy 12V infrastructure to modern 24V equipment standards.

Samlex America's reputation for marine-grade DC-DC power conversion reflects decades of serving boaters, RV owners, and industrial users where reliability under continuous duty is non-negotiable. This step-up converter represents the practical middle ground between complete electrical system upgrades and adding equipment incompatible with 12V power.
