12V to 15V, 5A Y1 Voltage Regulator Boost Power Converter (NonIsolated) Turn a 12V source into a stable 15V supply with the Y1 boost voltage regulator. This nonisolated DCDC converter is designed to deliver up to 5A of output current, providing a simple and reliable way to power 15V equipment from common 12V batteries and power systems. Key benefits Reliable stepup conversion: Converts a 12V input to a regulated 15V output so devices designed for 15V can run from 12V sources. current capability: Supports loads up to 5A, enabling use with many midpower electronics and modules. Simple wiring: Nonisolated design shares common ground with the input, simplifying integration when isolation is not required. Practical solution: Eliminates the need to or add separate 15V supplies when only a 12V source is available. Main features and attributes Functionality: Boost (stepup) voltage regulator that raises nominal 12V to a regulated 15V output. Model: Y1. Output current: Up to 5A continuous (observe proper cooling and wiring). Isolation: Nonisolated — input and output share a common ground. Compatibility: Works with 12V leadacid, 12V Liion battery packs, vehicle electrical systems, and 12V bench power supplies where a 15V output is needed. Performance considerations: Intended for applications that require reliable 15V power at currents up to 5A; ensure adequate thermal management and correct wire sizing for results. Recommended use cases Automotive and mobile electronics: Power 15V radios, communication devices, or control modules from a vehicle 12V battery without installing a separate 15V supply. Audio and instrument equipment: Run guitar pedals, effects processors, or preamps that require 15V when only a 12V supply is available. Embedded systems and prototypes: Provide a regulated 15V rail for sensors, modules, or custom electronics during development and field use. Installation and safety notes Because the converter is nonisolated, input and output grounds are common; do not use where galvanic isolation is required for safety or noise reasons. Provide adequate cooling and ventilation for continuous operation near the 5A limit. Use appropriate wire gauge and fusing for 5A circuits to prevent voltage drop and to protect wiring. Verify polarity and connections before applying power. The Y1 12V to 15V 5A boost converter is a straightforward, practical solution when you need to get reliable 15V power from a 12V source.
