Victron Energy ORI241205260 Orion IP67 12/24-50A (1200W)

Victron Energy Orion IP67 24/12-5A Fully Sealed. Pre-Cabled. 60 Watts Where It Needs to Go.

Product Overview

The Victron Energy Orion IP67 24/12-5A (ORI241205260) is a compact, fully encapsulated DC-DC step-down converter rated at 5 amps and 60 watts continuous, converting a 24V DC source to a regulated 12V DC output. Like its higher-current siblings in the Orion IP67 range, it is built around a cast aluminium housing with resin-moulded internal electronics completely sealed against water, oil, dirt, shock, and ignition hazards, with no external enclosure required.

At 5A and 60W, the ORI241205260 is sized for dedicated low-to-medium draw 12V loads running off a 24V primary system powering lights, pumps, small fridges, communications equipment, sensors, or control circuits in marine, industrial, agricultural, and off-grid environments where the installation location demands IP67 protection. The factory-fitted 1.8-metre input and output cables eliminate intermediate connections in most installs a meaningful reliability advantage in environments subject to vibration, moisture, and temperature cycling where every additional cable junction is a potential failure point. Built-in overheating protection allows operation in confined, high-temperature spaces such as machine rooms and engine bays without the need for ventilation clearance or external thermal management.

Features & Benefits

• Completely Encapsulated Construction — Cast aluminium housing with resin-moulded electronics. Water, oil, and dirt cannot enter the unit under any normal operating condition. Shockproof and ignition-protected as standard. No additional enclosure required — install it directly in the environment it needs to serve.
• IP67 Weatherproof Rating — Fully dustproof (IP6x) and protected against water immersion between 15cm and 1 metre depth (IPx7). Suitable for bilge mounts, underfloor chassis installations, marine bulkheads, outdoor plant, and any location where a standard IP20 converter would require a separate weatherproof housing.
• Ignition Protected — Certified safe for installation in environments where flammable fuel vapours may be present — petrol engine bays, fuel storage compartments, and bilges on petrol-engine vessels. A safety and compliance requirement for these environments, not just a specification point.
• 1.8-Metre Pre-Fitted Input and Output Cables — Factory-fitted cables of 1.8 metres reach the majority of installation points without intermediate joins. In IP67 environments — bilges, underbonnet spaces, exposed outdoor locations — each additional cable junction introduces a potential ingress and failure risk. Pre-fitted cables are a deliberate reliability design choice, not a convenience feature.
• Overheating Protection — Built-in thermal management allows the converter to operate safely in confined, high-temperature environments including machine rooms, engine bays, and enclosed equipment spaces. The unit protects itself from thermal damage without requiring external ventilation or airflow clearance.
• Compact 60W Output — The 5A / 60W rating makes the ORI241205260 the right-sized unit for dedicated low-to-medium draw 12V circuits — lighting, bilge pumps, navigation electronics, sensors, small refrigeration, or control circuits — without overspecifying into a larger, heavier, and more expensive 20A or 100A unit.
• Non-Isolated Design — Input and output negatives are shared — the appropriate and efficient topology for the majority of automotive, marine, and off-grid 24V-to-12V applications where galvanic isolation is not a requirement.
• Durable for Long-Term Field Deployment — Cast aluminium and resin-moulded construction is engineered for longevity in permanently installed, harsh-environment applications. Suitable for marine vessels, agricultural equipment, mining plant, and industrial installations where the unit will not be regularly accessed or serviced.
