Victron Orion-Tr 12/12-18A (220W) Isolated DC-DC converter

The Victron Orion DC-DC Converter is engineered for dependable power conversion in demanding automotive, marine, and industrial applications. Its integrated remote on/off functionality allows convenient control without the need for a high-current switch in the main power wiring. This feature can be activated using a low-power switch or connected directly to an engine run/stop circuit for seamless operation.

Designed for maximum reliability, all Orion converter models feature short-circuit protection and support parallel operation, allowing multiple units to be connected together to increase available output current. With no practical limit to the number of units that can be paralleled, the system can easily scale to meet growing power requirements.

The rugged housing provides IP43-rated protection when installed with the terminal connections facing downward, helping safeguard internal components from moisture and debris. Installation is quick and straightforward thanks to robust screw-terminal connections that require no specialized tools.

For added protection, 12V and 24V input models include an integrated input fuse, simplifying system design and enhancing safety. Whether used for battery charging, voltage conversion, or powering sensitive electronics, the Victron Orion delivers efficient, reliable performance backed by Victron Energy's reputation for quality and durability.
