8-40V In 13.8V Out 20A Boost Buck DC/DC Converter DC Power Stabilizer EM8-40S13R820

Power your critical devices with a stable and reliable 13.8V DC power supply! This high-performance DC-DC Boost Buck Converter efficiently converts a wide input voltage range (8-40V) to a fixed 13.8V output at up to 20A. Ideal for a variety of applications including automotive communication equipment (I.e. Amateur, GMRS, CB and Commercial radios), LED lighting, industrial control, battery charging, and more.

This robust boost-buck (step-up/step-down) converter is designed for demanding environments and provides a stable, regulated output even when the input voltage fluctuates above or below 13.8V. The "Boost-Buck" topology makes it perfect for automotive, solar, and other applications with unstable power sources.

Key Features:

• Wide Input Voltage Range: Accepts 8V to 40V DC input.
• Stable 13.8VDC Output: Boost-Buck (Step-Up/Step-down) topology provides a consistent 13.8V output voltage, crucial for sensitive electronics.
• High Efficiency: Up to 96.2% efficiency (@ 12Vin, 25℃) minimizing heat and maximizing power delivery.
• Waterproof IP68: Fully waterproof and protected against dust and immersion, ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions.
