BERRYBAK PS-SP16113 GCB-60 12V Capacitor Power Filter for Car Audio

The Berrybak PS-SP16113 GCB-60 is a 12V capacitor-based power filter, designed to stabilize the voltage delivered by a battery in an onboard audio system. It relies on a 122400µF capacitance and a 60A RMS current handling capability, allowing it to absorb rapid consumption variations while maintaining a more stable power supply to amplifiers.

Intended for car audio installations or any system operating on a 12V battery, it combines energy storage, noise filtering and electrical protection, allowing voltage drops and interference related to switching power supplies to be reduced. This approach enables it to be integrated between the battery and the amplifier, while maintaining stable operation during dynamic demands.

Berrybak PS-SP16113 GCB-60: Protection, connection and system integration

The module integrates comprehensive electrical protection management, including reverse polarity protection, reverse current blocking and adjustable undervoltage protection (8.8V, 11.0V, 12.9V), allowing the battery and installation to be secured in abnormal conditions. This safety is complemented by overcurrent protection via two 40A fuses associated with electronic control, as well as overvoltage protection ensuring controlled operation within a 11 to 16V range.

Integration relies on DC connectivity with 1 input and 1 output via JSZ214A screw terminals. The soft start over approximately 3 seconds limits inrush current when connecting to a 12V battery, preventing sparks and eliminating the need for pre-charge.

Power and charge LED indicators allow quick status verification of the module. The GCB-60 integrates directly between the battery and the amplifier, where it stabilizes the power supply in a car audio installation or any 12V-powered system.
