{"title":"Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter 8-36V to 12V 6A","handle":"buck-boost-dc-dc-converter-8-36v-to-12v-6a","url":"/products/buck-boost-dc-dc-converter-8-36v-to-12v-6a","description":"When your system needs a stable 12V rail from a variable DC supply, this industrial-grade buck-boost converter is built to deliver. It accepts a wide 8 to 36VDC input range and regulates it to 12V for loads up to 6A, or 72W.The buck-boost design automatically switches between stepping voltage down and stepping voltage up to maintain a constant output. This makes it especially useful for 12V battery applications, such as SLA or LiFePO4 packs, where the voltage can vary significantly between charging and discharge.The unit is a fully enclosed DC block designed for set-and-forget reliability, with extensive internal heat sinking and protection circuitry for rugged environments. A datasheet for the WG8-36S1206 is provided by the manufacturer.Features:Buck-boost regulation: Seamlessly switches between stepping voltage down and stepping voltage up to maintain a constant output.Battery applications: Suited to 12V battery applications like SLA or LiFePO4.Rugged design: Fully enclosed DC block for set-and-forget reliability.Thermal management: Extensive internal heat sinking.Protection circuitry: Includes protection circuitry for harsh environments.Manufacturer's warranty: 2-Year Manufacturer's WarrantySpecifications:Input Voltage: 8 to 36VDCInput Current: 11A DC MaxQuiescent Current: 25mAEfficiency: 85%Output Voltage: 12VOutput Current: up to 6AOutput Power: 72WOutput Voltage Accuracy: ±1%Ripple: 160mVp-pSwitching Frequency: 220kHzDimensions: 74mm x 74mm x 32mmWeight: 290gA practical choice for battery-powered 12V equipment, vehicle-adjacent projects, and other installations where the input voltage may sit above or below the required output.","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"DC/DC Converter","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":16097,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-COM-18732","mpn":"COM-18732","price":52.25,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":11}]}
