APC08M03-J Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The ARTESYN / Advanced Energy APC08M03-J is a non-isolated Point of Load (PoL) DC-DC converter module with a single 1.5V output at up to 8A current, supporting input voltages from 1.8V to 6V, rated for 30W maximum output power. It features a surface mount 7-SMD module package for ITE (Commercial) applications, operates over the -40°C to 85°C temperature range, and is RoHS non-compliant. The APC08M03-J is specified as obsolete, necessitating the identification and selection of alternative models to maintain availability in current and future designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Alternative and substitute DC-DC converter modules are included strictly based on matching product category, module type (non-isolated PoL), single output, mounting method (surface mount), and comparable input voltage, output current, and physical packaging parameters. Only parts from the same manufacturer and within the allowed ranges are included. Parameters used for substitution are:

• Product Category and Type (Non-Isolated PoL Module)
• Number of Outputs
• Voltage - Input (Min/Max)
• Voltage - Output 1
• Current - Output (Max)
• Power (W)
• Mounting Type
• Package / Case
• Size / Dimension
• Operating Temperature Range
• RoHS Status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part number APC08M03-J is currently obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part SMT10E-05W3V3J is listed as active and RoHS compliant. Selection between parts must consider current availability and regulatory compliance status. Only the provided substitute part conforms to current environmental certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What criteria were used for identifying substitute parts for APC08M03-J?
A: Substitution is based strictly on module category (Non-Isolated PoL), functional type, single output capability, similar mounting method, mechanical package, allowable voltage and current ratings, and compliance status.

Q: Is the form factor similar between APC08M03-J and SMT10E-05W3V3J?
A: Both are surface mount modules with closely matched dimensions and similar package outlines, as detailed in the comparison table.

Q: What RoHS status differences are present, and how does this affect substitution?
A: APC08M03-J is RoHS non-compliant, while SMT10E-05W3V3J is RoHS compliant. Selection should be based on required environmental compliance for the end application.

Q: Are there differences in the moisture sensitivity levels (MSL) between the parts?
A: The APC08M03-J is specified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), while SMT10E-05W3V3J is specified as MSL 3 (168 Hours). This must be considered for storage and assembly processes.

Q: Are output voltage and current ratings identical between the main and substitute parts?
A: Output current is higher in the substitute; however, output voltage differs. Parameter matching should be verified against application requirements based solely on provided data.

Q: What package or mounting information is important for direct substitution?
A: Both device types utilize surface mount technology, but the package format differs slightly (7-SMD vs. 6-SMD). Dimensional details and soldering profiles must be reviewed as indicated in the tables.
