12V to 24V 5A Y1 Voltage Regulator Boost Power Converter (NonIsolated) Convert a 12V DC source into a stable 24V DC supply with the Y1 boost voltage regulator. Designed for applications where isolation is not required, this nonisolated converter delivers up to 5A of output current to power 24V equipment from common 12V sources. Key benefits Enables use of 24V devices from a 12V battery or power rail, eliminating the need for separate 24V supplies. Delivers up to 5A output current to support moderately demanding loads. Simple integration where input and output share a common ground (nonisolated), making installation straightforward in many mobile and vehicle applications. Model Y1 provides a reliable boost conversion solution for retrofit, prototyping, and field repairs. What it does and why you need it Boosts: raises nominal 12V DC to 24V DC so 24V equipment can run off 12V sources such as automotive batteries, 12V power adapters, or solarbattery systems. Solves the compatibility problem between different DC voltage systems, allowing you to power 24V LED arrays, relays, actuators, sensors, and other electronics without replacing the primary power source. Useful where space and cost prevent adding a second dedicated 24V supply. Key attributes Input voltage: 12V DC (intended source) Output voltage: 24V DC Maximum output current: 5A Model: Y1 Isolation: Nonisolated (input and output share common ground) Functionality: DCDC boost (stepup) voltage regulation Compatibility and application notes Compatible with 12V battery systems, 12V power supplies, and other 12V DC sources. Intended for use in systems that can tolerate a nonisolated power stage; do not use where galvanic isolation is required between input and output. Observe the 5A maximum output current rating; use proper wiring and fusing to protect the source and converter. Typical use cases Automotive lighting: Power 24V LED strips or modules from a vehicle 12V battery for aftermarket lighting installations or temporary equipment. Mobile equipment and field instruments: Run 24V relays, sensors, and control modules from a 12V supply on boats, RVs, and service vehicles where adding a separate 24V battery is impractical. Prototyping and repairs: Provide a quick 24V rail from a bench 12V supply for testing, prototyping, or repairing 24V devices without replacing the existing power system. Installation and safety tips Confirm correct polarity before connection; reverse polarity can damage the converter and connected equipment. Because the converter is nonisolated, expect a common ground between input and output—avoid connecting circuits that require isolation. Respect the 5A maximum output current; fit an appropriate fuse on the input and ensure wiring and connectors are rated for the expected current. Provide adequate ventilation and mounting supporting heat dissipation during sustained current operation. The 12V to 24V 5A Y1 boost voltage regulator is a straightforward, practical solution for converting 12V DC to 24V DC where nonisolated operation is acceptable and up to 5A of output current is required.
