Veronte R12F DC-DC converter

Veronte R12F is a DC-DC converter for avionics made by Embention, the maker of the Veronte autopilot ecosystem. It takes a variable DC supply and produces a regulated 12 V output, so that flight computers, sensors and other onboard electronics can run from a battery or power bus whose voltage changes in use. It belongs to the RxxF family of 60 W converters, in which the R12F is the 12 V version and a 24 V output version also exists.

The main figures are an input range of 14 V to 160 V, a fixed output of 12 V and a continuous output power of 60 W. For an integrator the wide input window is the important number: one converter can serve low-voltage packs as well as high-voltage propulsion buses without a change of hardware, and the regulated 12 V rail isolates the avionics from the voltage swings of the main battery. The 60 W rating, which corresponds to about 5 A at 12 V, sets the size of the loads that can share the rail, so the combined consumption of the connected units should be added up and kept within it.

The converter is offered in two forms. The OEM version is a lightweight board for installation inside the customer's own enclosure or equipment, where the integrator provides protection and mounting. The enclosed version has an aluminum housing with IP67 protection, intended for installation directly in a vehicle where dust and water ingress are a concern. Embention lists the two versions as separate items, the R12F and the R12F OEM.

The unit is described for critical onboard electronics, and it sits within the same Veronte avionics line as the autopilots, motor controllers and communication units. A hardware manual for the R12F is published in the maker's documentation site, giving connector pinout and installation guidance.

Typical applications are professional uncrewed aircraft, eVTOL demonstrators and other autonomous vehicles in which a stable 12 V supply for the avionics has to be derived from a high-voltage battery or generator bus.
