32-12-50 DC Converter

Convert 20-50 VDC input to 12 VDC negative ground output for powering communication and navigation equipment on negative ground systems. (See Isolated Series for positive ground applications.)

Features:

• Excellent Regulation: Output voltage maintained within 1% under all line and load conditions within the rating


• The heat generated by semi-conductors is extracted and dissipated by large heat sink fins that maximize air contact for cool operation and the long life of components


• Polyurethane conformal coating on PC boards and corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum cases with heavy-duty shock mounts assure survival in hostile environments

Option: Extreme Vibration Mounting Kit

The Extreme Vibration Mounting Kit is available to protect Newmar power converters from the extreme stresses of shock and vibration when mounted on high-vibration vehicles. The kit replaces the standard vibration kit provided with the unit. It fits into the units mounting flange to act as a super shock absorber for electronics in high-vibration applications. It is available to fit all NEWMAR units from 2 to 70 lbs. Specify KIT L for units that weigh 215 lbs. and Kit H for 167 lbs.
