Optional barrel socket to screw terminal adapters	Price
ZHJX002 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel socket	$2.50 each
5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel plug	$2.50 each
Optional DIN mounting hardware (not including the rail)	$3.50

Input operating voltage	2.9V to 32 VDC
Output voltage	5V to 38VDC
	Note: the output voltage must be higher than the input voltage Note: the output voltage is adjustable by a trim pot from the top of the package. We will adjust it to 5V before shipping unless you request a specific voltage when ordering.
Maximum output current	0.1A to 4A depending on the input and output voltages, see below.
Under voltage lockout	2.6V ± 0.1V
Temperature Range	-35C to +60C
Electrostatic immunity	Human body model ±2000V
Operating temperature range	-20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F)
Over current protected	Pulse by pulse over current protected
Reverse Polarity protection	Yes, by reverse biased diode across the input terminals. A fuse in the input line is required to prevent damage.
Thermal protected	Automatic restart with 15°C hysteresis
Size	104x52x13mm (4x2x0.5 inches) including flange
Weight	2.4 oz, 68g

Maximum output current can be determined with the following formula
Imax = [Vin/(Vout+0.5)] * 4.2 Amps

Where Vin is the minimum expected input voltage in the application. In other words, if the power source is a battery don't use the average voltage, but the minimum voltage of the battery during normal discharge.
Here is a chart of typical values, other values are equally valid, this just gives an idea of the power levels:

Vin	Vout	Imax	Watts

3	12	1A	12W	3V to 12V DC converter
3	24	0.5A	12W	3V to 24V DC converter
5	8.4	2.4A	20W	5V to 8.4V DC converter
5	12	1.7A	20W	5V to 12V DC converter
5	19	1.1A	21W	5V to 19V DC converter

12	24	2.1A	50W*	12V to 24V DC converter
12	36	1.4A	50W*	12V to 36V DC converter
24	28	3.5A	98W*	24V to 28V DC converter
24	36	2.8A	100W*	24V to 36V DC converter
36	38	3.9A	148W*	36V to 38V DC converter

*Wattages over 25W cannot be sustained continuously due to inadequate heat dissipation in the standard package, but can be used for short periods of time.

DIN Rail Mount Option


	Optional mounting hardware for 35mm or 15mm DIN rails. Rail not included.

Application notes from customers:

My Garmin had a tendency to reboot when the motorcycle was started. I Installed the DCBP today on my motorcycle with a 1.5 amp fuse. Works well with first try of 20V output - Garmin does not blank out in cold temps or with lots of cranking. The unit is compact and light, fits well inside headlight housing. Turns on and off with ignition switch, so no issues with battery drain. Appears to be just what I needed. Thanks. Randy B.
