A dilithium crystal converter assembly (or dilithium circuit) was an engineering component of Constitution class starships, in use from the mid-2260s.
Dilithium crystals installed in the converter assembly served as a critical component of the warp drive and as a power source. A damaged converted assembly, or drained crystals, could prevent a starship from maintaining an orbit or engaging their warp drive. Dilithim in-use, and the assembly itself, could be damaged from a sustained exertion of the ship's power. (TOS: "The Alternative Factor", "The Paradise Syndrome", "Elaan of Troyius")
- The Dilithium crystal chamber and articulation frame of Galaxy class starships appear to be a 24th century equivalent to this component.
