DC/DC converter BCS BCS-SD15/12/48-II — 15 A output, 12 V to 48 V

BCS-SD15/12/48-II is a DC/DC converter that converts a 12 V DC input to a 48 V DC output with a rated output current of 15 A. Designed for mobile and industrial power systems, this step-up converter supplies stable 48 V power for devices and modules that require higher voltage than the primary battery or vehicle electrical system provides. The unit is engineered to operate in environments typical for telecommunications, battery-based installations, and vehicle electronics where regulated DC voltage conversion is necessary.

Advantages

The converter delivers a continuous 15 A output at 48 V while accepting a 12 V input, providing efficient voltage step-up in a compact form factor. It is intended for reliable operation in mobile and industrial applications, offering stable output under varying load conditions. Built for integration into power systems, it supports uninterrupted supply to downstream electronics and helps protect sensitive equipment from input voltage fluctuations.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications equipment requiring 48 V supply
• Battery-backed systems and UPS installations
• Vehicle electronics and mobile power systems
• Industrial control modules that need a stable 48 V rail

Key specifications

• Input voltage: 12 V DC nominal
• Output voltage: 48 V DC nominal
• Rated output current: 15 A
• Function: DC-to-DC step-up (boost) conversion
• Typical applications: mobile power systems, telecom, battery-based installations

How to use

Install the converter according to the system layout, ensuring correct polarity on the 12 V input and secure connections on the 48 V output. Mount the unit in a location with adequate ventilation and protection from moisture and excessive heat. Verify input voltage and load requirements before first use; connect loads to the 48 V output while observing the rated 15 A current limit to prevent overloading. Follow any grounding and safety practices required by the installation environment.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate fusing on the input and output lines to protect wiring and the converter. Allow for adequate cooling clearance and avoid installing the converter near high-temperature sources. For vehicle installations, fit vibration-resistant mounts and route cables to minimize exposure to mechanical stress. Regularly inspect connections and mounting points as part of preventive maintenance.
