Victron Orion-Tr DC-DC Converter 12/12-18A 220W

Product Description

The Victron Orion-Tr 12/12-18A 220W increases regulated power capacity in 12 V systems when loads draw more current or wiring is long. With 18 A continuous, robust chassis, and 200 V galvanic isolation, it ensures a stable and clean voltage for critical electronics, as well as flexible installation thanks to the remote on/off terminal and its screw terminals. Its IP43 rating and short-circuit-proof design provide professional reliability in automotive, marine, and mobile solar energy applications. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

Main Features

• Output current 18 A; continuous power 220–280 W (at 40 °C/25 °C). :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

Advantages or Benefits

• Delivers stable power to demanding loads (radios, onboard PCs, routers, small inverters) preventing voltage drops.
• Facilitates integrations with master control thanks to remote on/off and its low standby consumption. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
• Superior electrical safety: isolation, IP43, and protection against overtemperature and short circuits. :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}
• Scalable: multiple units in parallel to increase total available current. :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}
• Professional format with wiring up to 16 mm² to minimize losses over long runs. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}

Purpose or Applications

Designed for campers with multiple loads, boats with navigation and communication electronics, emergency vehicles, signaling, and onboard solar systems where a stable 12 V bus is critical for equipment performance and lifespan.

Technical Specifications

Data verified in the Victron datasheet for isolated Orion-Tr converters (220-280 W series). :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}

Compatibilities

Installable in parallel with other Orion-Tr units to increase total current. Not intended for battery charging; for that function use the corresponding Orion-Tr Smart range. :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}

With the Victron Orion-Tr 12/12-18A 220W you get solid regulation, isolation, and 18 A continuous capacity to safely power your 12 V equipment in demanding environments. :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}
