The Victron Orion IP67 24/12-5A is a non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 24V DC input down to a 12V DC output at up to 5A, giving 60W of regulated power. It suits mobile, marine and off-grid systems where a stable 12V supply must be drawn from a 24V bank, and where the fitting location is exposed to moisture or dust.

Key features

• Input, 24V DC nominal
• Output, 12V DC at up to 5A continuous, 60W total
• Enclosure, IP67 rated, sealed against dust and able to withstand temporary immersion in water
• Topology, non-isolated, with input and output sharing a common ground
• Weight, 0.1kg
• Operation, no fan and no moving parts

Product overview

The Orion IP67 range is built for locations where a standard open-frame converter would fail. The sealed enclosure withstands submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes, which suits under-bonnet vehicle mounting, boat bilge areas, caravans and outdoor enclosures exposed to condensation or rain.

Because the design is non-isolated, the input and output grounds are common. That keeps the unit compact and efficient, and it works well for powering 12V accessories, lighting or control electronics from a 24V vehicle or battery bank. It is not suitable where galvanic isolation between the two voltage rails is required.

Applications

• Running 12V accessories from a 24V vehicle or truck electrical system
• Feeding 12V control electronics or instrumentation from a 24V off-grid battery bank
• Marine installations where a 24V house bank supplies 12V equipment in damp locations
• Caravan and motorhome auxiliary circuits on a 24V chassis system
• Outdoor enclosures and mobile equipment where water ingress is a risk

Installation notes

Fit this converter with correct polarity and fuse the input close to the source. Confirm the common-ground non-isolated design is compatible with your system before wiring it in. The enclosure is IP67 rated, but cable entry points must be sealed properly to keep that protection in service.
