Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference – APC08K08-J

Part Overview

The APC08K08-J by ARTESYN / Advanced Energy is a non-isolated Point-of-Load (PoL) DC-DC converter module, providing a single output of 1.2V at up to 8A with a 6.5V–13V input range. It is classified as obsolete. Because of its product status, sourcing direct replacements is essential to maintain system compatibility and uptime. Substitute selection must strictly align with the original electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutes for DC-DC converter modules are grouped and evaluated strictly based on input voltage range, output voltage and current ratings, number of outputs, power rating, operating temperature, mounting method, package/case size, and RoHS status. Only parts matching or exceeding the required parameters without deviation from the declared values are considered appropriate substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

APC08K08-J is classified as obsolete, necessitating direct replacement for continued system functionality. SMT10E-12W3V3J is an alternative from the same manufacturer, with product status listed as active and RoHS compliant. Selection should be based on matching electrical specifications, identical mounting methodology, package constraints, and RoHS compliance according to application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the critical substitution criteria for DC-DC converter modules in this category?
A1: Required substitution criteria include input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, number of outputs, mounting type, form factor, operating temperature range, and RoHS status.

Q2: Can SMT10E-12W3V3J directly replace APC08K08-J in existing designs?
A2: Substitution can proceed if the input voltage range and output settings conform to system needs. Package differences, specifically 6-SMD vs. 7-SMD modules, must be verified for mechanical fit.

Q3: What operational differences might affect package compatibility?
A3: Mechanical package and pin-out differences between the 7-SMD and 6-SMD modules must be directly compared against PCB layouts. Dimensional variances in height and length should be confirmed for fitment.

Q4: Does RoHS compliance affect selection?
A4: RoHS status may be critical for regulatory or environmental compliance. The main part (APC08K08-J) is RoHS non-compliant; the substitute (SMT10E-12W3V3J) is RoHS compliant. Selection should align with application requirements regarding hazardous substances.
