A convenient way to operate mass produced 12Vdc equipment

Alfatronix PV3i offers a convenient way to operate mass produced (12Vdc) equipment such as cell phones, in car entertainment, professional communication and etc.

Tamper Proof

There are no ventilation holes to permit stray objects, dust or water droplets to enter the case. There are no external fuses to be tampered with. Fuses will only blow if there is a fault so there is no need to make them accessible.

All PowerVerters are enclosed in a rugged aluminium extrusion. The low mass Surface Mount Technology components are also less prone to damage from vibration and shock, further increasing the reliability of the units.

3Amp units are excellent for charging mobile phones, while 6A units suit a variety of mobile radio applications.

Typical applications

Installations of mobile and cellular radio communications equipment on trucks and buses, as well as a variety of industrial applications. For a wider range of input and output voltages.
