Why Choose the SAILOR TT-6090A?
1. Optimized for 24V Marine Systems
Most commercial vessels operate on 24V DC power. The TT-6090A accepts a wide input range of 21V to 32V DC, absorbing voltage spikes and drops common in shipboard power systems to deliver a clean, regulated 12.5V output.
2. Superior Efficiency
With over 94% typical efficiency, this unit generates significantly less heat than standard linear regulators, making it safe for installation in tight console spaces and reducing power drain on your vessel’s batteries.
3. Plug-and-Play Installation
Designed as a direct OEM replacement for SAILOR 6000 series systems, the compact case (190x85mm) allows for flexible mounting near the transceiver or connection box.
4. Robust Protection Circuitry
The converter includes output short circuit protection and current limiting features. Unlike standard fuses that blow instantly, the SAILOR 6090 is designed to protect the unit during fault conditions without immediate damage.
Product Applications
- Voltage Conversion: Converts 24V DC (21-32V) vessel power to 12V DC for radio equipment.
- Retrofits: Allows older 12V SAILOR radios to operate safely on modern 24V ships.
- System Expansion: Powers additional 12V accessories within the SAILOR ecosystem.
