Y2 12V to 13.8V 12A Boost Module — DC Power Converter Turn a standard 12V supply into a steady 13.8V rail with the Y2 boost module. Designed as a straightforward DCDC stepup converter, this module provides a reliable 13.8V output at up to 12A, making it useful where slightly higher system voltage is required without changing the battery or main power source. Key benefits Provides a stable 13.8V output from a 12V input to support equipment that needs a higher nominal voltage. Delivers up to 12A output current to run moderate loads or multiple devices from a single 12V source. Simple boardlevel solution for retrofitting, prototyping, or integrating into existing 12V systems without replacing the power supply. What it does and why you need it Solves the common problem of 12V systems that underdrive devices designed for 13.8V (for example, radio transceivers or charging circuits). The Y2 boost module raises and regulates the voltage so connected devices can operate as intended. Eliminates the need to change batteries or install a separate power source when only a modest voltage increase is required. Key attributes Functionality: DCDC boost (stepup) converter that converts nominal 12V input to a regulated 13.8V output. Electrical rating: Output up to 12A (as specified by the model). Model: Y2 boost module. Compatibility: Intended for use with 12V DC systems such as automotive, marine, RV, standby battery banks, or other 12V equipment needing a 13.8V rail. Form factor: Boardlevel module for integration into enclosures, panels, or custom assemblies. Construction: Typical PCBmounted converter module suitable for electrical integration (connect and mount per your system requirements). Performance: Provides a higher regulated DC output from a 12V source at the specified current rating. Practical applications Amateur radio and communications: Raise vehicle or battery voltage to 13.8V to meet transceiver input specifications for stable RF transmit and receive performance. Vehicle and marine accessories: Power accessories or charging circuits that require 13.8V while using an existing 12V battery system. Backup power and small power systems: Maintain a regulated 13.8V output from a 12V battery bank for electronics that expect a higher float or charge voltage. Installation and usage guidance Connect the module to a stable 12V DC source observing correct polarity. Ensure wiring and connectors are rated for the expected current (up to 12A). Provide appropriate fusing and overcurrent protection in line with local wiring practice and device requirements. Mount the module in a location with adequate ventilation and secure mounting to avoid mechanical stress on connections. Verify the connected load does not exceed the module's 12A rating and monitor temperature under continuous heavy load during initial setup. Why choose the Y2 boost module A direct, modelspecific solution for stepping a 12V supply to 13.8V at currents up to 12A. Ideal for integration when devices require a slightly higher DC rail without wholesale power system changes. Practical for hobbyist, automotive, marine, and field service applications where a compact boost converter is needed. Specifications (as labeled) Model: Y2 Input: 12V DC (nominal) Output: 13.8V DC Output current: 12A Notes Follow safe wiring practices and confirm compatibility with your devices before permanent installation. Use appropriate cabling, connectors, and protective components to support the module's rated current.
