DC-DC Converter Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/12-5 60W Non-Isolated

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/12-5 60W Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter converts a 24 V input to a stable 12 V output at up to 5 A (60 W). Intended for vehicle and marine electrical systems where galvanic isolation is not required, this compact converter delivers regulated 12 V power for accessories, lighting, and small electronics. The unit is designed for inline installation close to the load or distribution panel to reduce wiring losses and maintain consistent voltage under varying input conditions.

Advantages

The converter provides precise voltage regulation and maintains a steady 12 V output under fluctuating 24 V inputs typical of automotive and marine environments. Its non-isolated topology reduces size and simplifies installation when isolation is unnecessary. The product features thermal and overload protection to enhance reliability and protect connected loads. Built for continuous operation within its rating, it offers predictable performance for powering 12 V devices from a 24 V system.

Suitable for

• Powering 12 V lights, radios, and small electronic devices from a 24 V vehicle or boat system
• Integration into mobile workstations, service vehicles, and camper conversions
• Replacing or supplementing existing 12 V distribution where compact DC-DC conversion is needed

Key specifications

• Input voltage: 24 V nominal
• Output voltage: 12 V regulated
• Maximum output current: 5 A
• Maximum output power: 60 W
• Non-isolated DC-DC architecture
• Compact form factor suitable for close-to-load mounting
• Built-in thermal and overload protection

How to use

Install the converter in a dry, ventilated location close to the 12 V load or distribution point. Connect the 24 V positive and negative input conductors to the designated input terminals and the 12 V output conductors to the load side, observing correct polarity. Secure mounting and appropriately sized wiring and fuses are required to minimize voltage drop and to protect the circuit. Verify the output voltage under load after installation to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this non-isolated converter when galvanic isolation is not required between the 24 V source and 12 V load. Select cable sizes and protective fusing based on continuous current and voltage drop calculations. Avoid locating the unit where it will be exposed to direct water spray or sustained high ambient temperatures; provide airflow around the case to assist cooling. Consult vehicle or vessel wiring standards to ensure safe integration.
