This thing requires an external heatsink, or you really should mount one.
This is a Vicor and one of the few companies I found that makes a decent 72 volt to 12 volt DC/DC converter.
This thing will work from 55-100 volts. It will output about 17 amps at 12 volts. It has thermal shutdown and lots of good stuff.
I got this to be able to run multiple LED high powered lights, my cooling fan at high wattage, my heated grips during winter, both my front and rear dash cams, without overheating and breaking. I bought it for around $50 bucks on ebay. Will require a heat sink which they sell many types for this size.
Wow exactly what I have been looking for. I've seen a few others but they have always been much more expensive, like way over 200$. This thing is just perfect. Thx for sharing.
