Rectangular die-cast aluminium boost converter, IP68 sealed, matte grey finish

GCON

GCON DC 12V to 56V 3A 168W Waterproof Boost Converter

SKU CH-653P-FT08F

Waterproof IP68 boost converter steps 10-16V input to 56V at 3A with 168W output and 93% efficiency

  • IP68 waterproof aluminium housing protects against moisture and dust
  • Converts 10-16 V input to a stable 56 V output
  • Delivers 3 A continuous current for 168 W load capacity
  • Built-in over-voltage, over-current, overload and over-temperature safeguards
  • Synchronous rectification achieves 93 % efficiency with fanless cooling

Waterproof 12V to 56V Boost Converter

This GCON boost converter steps a 12V DC source up to a regulated 56V DC output at 3A, delivering up to 168W of power. It accepts an input range of 10V to 16V and uses synchronous rectification for up to 93% efficiency. An IP68-rated die-cast aluminium housing with silicone sealing protects the electronics from water, dust, shock and moisture. Built-in safeguards include over-voltage, over-current, overload and over-temperature protection.

Replaces basic open-frame modules

The sealed IP68 enclosure and industrial-grade protection suite replace vulnerable open-board converters that cannot survive wet, dusty or vibration-heavy environments. The jump is worth it when the installation faces rain, splashes, mud or condensation that would destroy unprotected circuitry. Free-air convection cooling removes the need for a fan, eliminating a common failure point in dirty or mobile applications.

Suits golf-cart and off-road vehicle power

This unit suits owners converting 12V vehicle systems to run 56V accessories such as motors, lights or battery chargers on golf carts, club cars or similar low-voltage platforms. It is not for buyers who need an adjustable output voltage, a higher current rating than 3A, or an input range outside 10V to 16V. Installers requiring a step-down function or galvanic isolation should look at a different topology.

Questions about this item

What input voltage range does the GCON boost converter accept for a 12 V system?

The converter accepts DC 10 V to 16 V input, matching a nominal 12 V vehicle supply.

How is the converter mounted and what wiring mistake should be avoided?

Mount the die-cast aluminium body to a flat metal surface for heat dissipation; connect the input leads to the 12 V source before applying power to prevent reverse-polarity damage.

What ongoing maintenance does the IP68 sealed unit require?

Periodically inspect the silicone seals and cable glands for cracks, and clean any debris from the aluminium fins to maintain convection cooling.
