Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASA01A36-L is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the ASA (6W) series. The substitute part ASA01A36-LS maintains identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: input voltage range (18V–75V), output voltage (5V), maximum output current (1A), power rating (6W), isolation voltage (1.5 kV), operating temperature range (–40°C to +71°C), and efficiency (81%). Both components feature identical mechanical characteristics including Through Hole mounting, 8-DIP Module packaging, and physical dimensions (1.25" L × 0.80" W × 0.40" H).

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration. The ASA01A36-LS is classified as Active, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability, whereas the ASA01A36-L is Obsolete. The ASA01A36-LS is supplied in Tube packaging, compared to the original part's standard packaging designation.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters are matched:

• Input voltage range: 18V–75V
• Output voltage: 5V
• Output current capacity: 1A
• Power rating: 6W
• Isolation voltage: 1.5 kV
• Operating temperature: –40°C to +71°C
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: 8-DIP Module
• Physical dimensions: 1.25" L × 0.80" W × 0.40" H
