GCON DC/DC Boost Converter 12V to 48V 10A 480W gender changer

SKU CH-SDMC-NW0M5

Boosts 12 V vehicle power to a fixed 48 V output at 10 A (480 W) with up to 95 % efficiency and full overload, over-temperature and short-circuit protection in a sealed aluminium housing

  • Steps up 12V to 48V for 48V equipment
  • Up to 95% efficiency reduces wasted energy
  • Five protection circuits guard against faults
  • Sealed aluminium housing resists water and dust
  • Rated 10A continuous for 480W loads

12V to 48V Boost Converter for Vehicle Power

This DC/DC step-up module converts a 10V to 16V input into a fixed 48V output at up to 10A. It delivers 480W of continuous power for equipment that requires a higher voltage than a standard vehicle electrical system provides. The non-adjustable output suits installations with a defined voltage requirement.

Aluminium Sealed Housing for Harsh Environments

The aluminium shell with silicone sealing achieves waterproof, anti-shock, anti-humidity and dust-proof protection. This allows the unit to be mounted in exposed locations on trucks, taxis or mobile equipment without a separate enclosure. Thermal derating is required when ambient temperature exceeds 40 degrees.

Integrated Protection Suite Prevents Damage

Built-in over-load, over-current, over-temperature, short-circuit and over-voltage safeguards shut the converter down before connected devices are harmed. Conversion efficiency reaches 95 percent with a dynamic response speed of 200 microseconds. No accessories or configuration software are included in the package.

Questions about this item

At 480 W continuous load, which limit appears first — the 10 A current ceiling or the 40 °C thermal throttle point?

The converter is rated for 10 A continuous output; the supplier notes that when the case temperature exceeds 40 °C you should reduce power or improve cooling, so the thermal limit will be reached before the current limit if heat is not removed.

With the sealed aluminium enclosure and no fan, how hot and loud does the unit get during all-day operation at full load?

At up to 95 % efficiency the unit dissipates waste heat through the aluminium shell; it runs silently, but the case will become hot to the touch and the supplier advises extra cooling once the temperature passes 40 °C.

What power source must already be present to supply the 10 V–16 V DC input this converter requires?

A 12 V DC system such as a vehicle battery or a regulated 12 V supply capable of delivering roughly 40 A is needed to feed the converter’s input range.
