GME VC10S 24V to 12V DC Voltage Converter 10 Amp

A 10 amp 24V to 12V DC voltage converter, the GME VC10S is designed for UHF CB radio installations in heavy vehicles and plant equipment, featuring 24V/13.2V switch mode operation, reverse polarity protection, and over-temperature cut off.

Product Overview

The GME VC10S is a 10 amp 24V to 12V DC voltage converter purpose built for UHF CB radio installations in heavy vehicles, trucks, and plant equipment running a 24V electrical system. Converting a wide 15V to 38V input down to a steady 13.2V output, the VC10S allows a standard 12V UHF CB radio to be installed and run reliably from a 24V vehicle supply, with the extra current handling suited to higher-draw radios and accessories.

Switch mode operation keeps the VC10S compact and efficient, while built-in reverse polarity protection and an over-temperature cut off safeguard the connected radio and the converter itself. Installation is a quick and easy process.

Features & Benefits

10 Amp Current Rating: The higher 10 amp current rating suits higher-draw UHF CB radios and connected accessories compared to lighter duty converters.

24V/13.2V Switch Mode Operation: Switch mode conversion efficiently steps a 24V supply down to a stable 13.2V output for standard UHF CB radios.

Wide 15V to 38V Input Range: The wide input voltage range accommodates fluctuations in heavy vehicle and plant equipment electrical systems.

Reverse Polarity Protection: Built-in reverse polarity protection guards the converter and connected radio against incorrect wiring.

Over-Temperature Cut Off: An over-temperature cut off protects the converter from damage during extended or demanding use.

Quick and Easy Installation Process: Designed for a quick and easy installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the VC10S do?

The VC10S converts a 24V vehicle electrical supply down to a stable 12V output, allowing a standard UHF CB radio to be installed and run reliably in heavy vehicles and plant equipment.

What is the difference between the VC10S and VC2S?

Both convert 24V down to 12V for UHF CB use, but the VC10S has a higher 10 amp current rating and a wider 15V to 38V input range with a 13.2V output, while the VC2S covers an 18V to 32V input with a 13.6V output.

What is the input and output voltage of the VC10S?

The VC10S accepts an input of +15V to +38V DC and delivers a steady 13.2V DC output.

Does the VC10S have any built-in protection?

Yes. The VC10S features reverse polarity protection and an over-temperature cut off, protecting both the converter and the connected radio.

Is the VC10S easy to install?

Yes. The VC10S is designed for a quick and easy installation process.
