5V Solid State Voltage Stabiliser With Bracket

Description

Upgrade your classic vehicle’s original mechanical voltage stabiliser with the plugpal 5V Solid State Voltage Stabiliser with Mounting Bracket, designed specifically for negative earth systems. This modern electronic replacement provides reliable, stable voltage for classic cars from the 1950s, 60s and 70s that originally used bi-metallic contact breaker stabilisers.

Ideal for vehicles including:

• Ford Escort Mk1
• Ford Capri

…and many other classic Ford and period vehicles requiring a regulated 5V gauge supply.

Stable 5V Output for Accurate Classic Gauges

Unlike ageing mechanical stabilisers that fluctuate with temperature and vibration, this solid state unit uses modern semi-conductor components to provide:

• Stable, constant 5V DC output
• Improved fuel and temperature gauge accuracy
• Consistent performance regardless of engine revs or electrical load
• Greater long-term reliability than original contact breaker units
• Maintain factory-style wiring while significantly improving gauge stability.

Integrated Mounting Bracket & Simple Installation

• This version features a metal mounting bracket that:
• Secures directly to the vehicle body
• Provides the required ground connection
• Must be bolted to chassis to operate correctly

Product configuration:

• Two-wire design:
  • Red wire – +12V input
  • Yellow wire – Regulated +5V output
• Ground is achieved through the mounting bracket
• Metal enclosure acts as an integrated heatsink
• Adequate wiring length for flexible positioning

Supplied with:

• Male 6.3mm spade terminal on +12V input
• Male 6.3mm spade terminal on +5V output
• Adapter lead included if a female output connection is required

Alternative terminal options may be available upon request.

Technical Specifications

• Output Voltage: 5V DC (regulated)
• Vehicle Compatibility: Negative earth systems only
• Output Current Range: 5mA – 1A
• Recommended Load: Up to two gauges (fuel and temperature)
• Construction: Vented metal casing acts as heatsink
• Connections: Professionally crimped (not soldered) to prevent vibration-related stress fractures
• Protection: Adhesive-lined heat shrink for improved moisture resistance

Engineered specifically for high-vibration automotive environments.

Important Information

• Outputs 5V only.
• For a 10V version, see the plugpal 10V Voltage Stabiliser With Bracket.
• For a 5V version without mounting bracket, see the plugpal 5V Voltage Stabiliser.
• Must be securely mounted to the vehicle body to function correctly.
• Suitable for negative earth vehicles only.
• If being installed not using the original loom stabiliser connections, a fused 12v supply is advised.

Reliable 5V Voltage Regulation for Classic Cars

Whether you’re restoring a vintage Ford or replacing a faulty original stabiliser, the plugpal 5V Solid State Voltage Stabiliser with Bracket provides dependable, modern performance while retaining classic compatibility.

Ensure stable and accurate dashboard gauge readings in your classic car with a purpose-built solid state solution.
