Description
Upgrade your classic car’s unreliable mechanical stabiliser with the plugpal 10V Solid State Voltage Stabiliser with Mounting Bracket, designed specifically for negative earth vehicles. This modern electronic replacement offers a dependable solution for classic cars from the 1950s, 60s and 70s that originally used bi-metallic contact breaker voltage stabilisers.
Suitable for classic vehicles from:
- MG
- Triumph
- Jaguar
- Lotus
- Rolls-Royce
- Daimler
- Austin
- Morris
- Ford
…and many other classic British and European vehicles.
Reliable 10V Solid State Regulation
Unlike original contact breaker stabilisers that fluctuate with temperature and age, this unit uses modern semi-conductor components to deliver:
- Stable, constant 10V DC output
- Accurate fuel and temperature gauge readings
- Consistent performance regardless of engine revs or electrical load
- Improved long-term reliability over mechanical units
Maintain classic originality while dramatically improving gauge stability.
Integrated Mounting Bracket Design
This version features a metal mounting bracket that:
- Secures the stabiliser directly to the vehicle body
- Provides the required ground connection
- Ensures proper operation (must be bolted to chassis to function)
Product details:
- Two-wire configuration:
- Red wire – +12V input
- Green wire – Regulated +10V output
- Ground is achieved through the mounting bracket
- Metal enclosure doubles as a heatsink
- Adequate wire length for flexible mounting options
Supplied with:
- Male 6.3mm spade terminal on +12V input
- Female spade terminal on +10V output
- Adapter lead included if a male output connection is required
Alternative terminal configurations may be available on request.
Technical Specifications
- Output Voltage: 10V DC (regulated, + – 0.5V)
- Vehicle Compatibility: Negative earth systems only
- Output Current Range: 5mA – 1A
- Components: Constructed with a Texas Instruments LM2940T-10 voltage regulator combined with the manufacturer recommended capacitors on a custom circuit board
- Recommended Load: Up to two gauges (fuel and temperature)
- Construction: Vented metal casing acting as heatsink with regulator mounted on thermal paste
- Connections: Professionally crimped (not soldered) to prevent vibration-related stress fractures
- Protection: Adhesive-lined heat shrink for improved moisture resistance
Designed specifically for classic automotive electrical environments.
Direct Replacement for Original Units
Compatible with stabilisers carrying part numbers:
- BR1307-00 NEG
- BHA4602
- 148876A
- BMK1539A
Ideal for restoration projects and reliability upgrades.
Important Notes
- Outputs 10V only.
- For a 5V version with bracket, see the plugpal 5V Voltage Stabiliser with Bracket.
- For a 10V version with separate earth lead (no bracket), see the plugpal 10V Voltage Stabiliser.
- Must be securely mounted to the vehicle body to operate correctly.
- Suitable for negative earth vehicles only.
- If being installed not using the original loom stabiliser connections, a fused 12v supply is advised.
