Rectangular aluminium step-up converter with terminal block, 74 by 74 by 32 mm

GCON

GCON DC 12V to 48V 5A Step-Up Converter IPX-7 Waterproof

SKU CH-DQ1J-WF8CV

Converts 12 V input to 48 V at 5 A with over 90 % efficiency, IPX-7 waterproof aluminium housing and built-in overload, over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature and short-circuit protection

  • Converts 12V input to stable 48V output at 5A delivering 240W power
  • Over 90% conversion efficiency reduces energy loss and heat generation during operation
  • IPX-7 waterproof and shockproof aluminium housing withstands harsh outdoor and automotive environments
  • Comprehensive protection includes overload, overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature and short-circuit safeguards
  • Compact 74 by 74 by 32mm footprint with simple three-wire terminal block for easy installation

12V-to-48V step-up converter

The GCON DC 12V to 48V 5A Step-Up Converter transforms a 12-volt DC source into a regulated 48-volt output at up to five amps. It delivers a maximum power of 240 watts with a conversion efficiency above 90 percent. The unit is built into an aluminium enclosure rated IPX-7 for waterproof and shockproof operation.

Replaces basic voltage adapters

Unlike simple gender changers or passive adapters, this active boost controller provides continuous 48-volt power from a 12-volt vehicle or solar system. The step-up design is worth it when equipment requires a stable 48-volt rail and the source cannot supply that voltage directly. Input power must exceed the load to maintain regulation.

Suits mobile and off-grid installs

Installers fitting golf carts, electric bicycles, scooters, monitoring systems or LED lighting in wet or vibration-prone environments will benefit from the rugged, sealed housing. It is not a battery charger and cannot charge 48-volt packs. Buyers needing galvanic isolation, adjustable output or higher current should look at a different topology.

Questions about this item

What are the mounting dimensions of the 74×74×32 mm aluminum housing?

The converter measures 74 mm long, 74 mm wide and 32 mm high, so allow at least that footprint plus clearance for the terminal block and wiring.

Which wire goes to which terminal on the three-colour terminal block?

Connect red to the 12 V input positive, black to the common negative for both input and output, and yellow to the 48 V output positive; reversing input polarity will trigger the protection circuit.

How often should the IPX-7 sealed unit be inspected for heat-sink fin blockage?

Check the aluminum fins every few months in dusty or muddy environments; blocked airflow reduces the 90 % efficiency and can trip the over-temperature protection.
