Victron Orion-Tr 24/12-5 DC-DC Converter 60W Non-Isolated Retail | ORI241205200R

The Victron Orion-Tr 24/12-5 is a non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 24V supply down to a regulated 12V output at up to 5A, giving 60W of continuous power. It suits mobile, marine and off-grid systems that need two DC voltage rails running side by side.

Key features

• Conversion, 24V DC input to 12V DC output at up to 5A continuous, 60W total.
• Isolation, non-isolated design with a shared ground between input and output, suited to vehicle and marine wiring where a common chassis or hull earth is used.
• Weight, 90g, compact enough for tight enclosures or behind-panel mounting.
• Output, fixed 12V output for accessories, control circuits or auxiliary loads fed from a 24V bank.
• Packaging, retail pack with connection terminals included, ready to wire in.

Product overview

This is the entry-level unit in Victron's non-isolated Orion-Tr series, built on a switch-mode topology rather than a linear regulator. It suits lower-power 12V loads such as instrumentation, lighting circuits, control electronics or small accessories drawing from a 24V battery bank.

Because it is non-isolated, the negative terminals of input and output are connected internally. That's fine for most vehicles, caravans, motorhomes and boats sharing a common ground. Where galvanic isolation between the two voltage rails is needed, the isolated Orion-Tr variant is the right choice instead.

Applications

• Powering 12V accessories and control circuits from a 24V vehicle or van electrical system.
• Supplying 12V instrumentation or navigation electronics on a 24V marine vessel.
• Running 12V lighting or auxiliary loads in a 24V off-grid or motorhome setup.
• Providing a stable 12V rail for control boards or comms equipment inside a larger 24V battery system.
• Integrating 12V legacy devices into a 24V system upgrade without rewiring the whole installation.

What's in the box

• 1x Victron Orion-Tr 24/12-5 (60W) non-isolated DC-DC converter, retail pack

Installation notes

Fit this by a competent 12/24V DC electrician or auto-electrician familiar with vehicle or marine wiring. Fuse the input wiring close to the source battery. Since this is a non-isolated unit, don't use it where input and output grounds must stay separate. Check that the 60W rating covers the intended load, and leave room around the unit for ventilation.
