Equivalent & Substitute Parts for BWR-15/100-D48-C

Part Overview

The BWR-15/100-D48-C by Murata Power Solutions Inc. is an isolated module DC-DC converter with dual outputs (+15V and -15V, each at 100mA output current) and an input voltage range of 18V to 72V. The part offers 3W output power and features OCP and OVP for commercial ITE applications. The product is currently marked as "Obsolete," necessitating the selection of alternative DC-DC isolator modules to ensure continued design support and procurement. Alternative parts must match the core electrical parameters, compliance status, and form-factor to be considered suitable substitutes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute DC-DC converters are grouped based on strictly matching core parameters, which include:

  • Output configuration: Dual outputs, +15V and -15V
  • Maximum output current per channel equal to or greater than main part
  • Input voltage range overlapping the original part’s specifications
  • Equivalent module type (Isolated Module)
  • Mounting type: Through Hole
  • Compliance (ROHS3, REACH, ECCN, HTSUS)

Additional comparison is performed only using the fields explicitly defined in the input parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BWR-15/100-D48-C (Murata Power Solutions Inc.) is categorized as "Obsolete," while the recommended substitute DLW05C-15 (MEAN WELL USA Inc.) is "Active" and available in sufficient inventory. Both parts comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements and are classified as EAR99 under ECCN and 8504.40.9580 for HTSUS. When selecting a substitute, ensure the alternative model matches regulatory compliance and part status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary substitution criteria for DC-DC converter modules in this category?
A: Selection is based on matching output voltage levels, number of outputs, maximum output current, input voltage range, isolation rating, mounting type, package/case, and compliance statuses (ROHS3, REACH, ECCN, HTSUS).

Q: Is package and mounting compatibility important for substitution?
A: Yes. Both the original and substitute parts utilize through-hole mounting and have DIP module packaging to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Q: How do environmental and regulatory certifications affect the substitute part selection?
A: Only DC-DC converter modules meeting ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, with matching ECCN and HTSUS codes, qualify as suitable substitutes for applications governed by these standards.

Q: Are feature set differences considered for substitution?
A: Substitution is based on strictly matched electrical parameters and provided features. Only features explicitly listed in the input (such as OCP, OVP, SCP) are used for qualification.

Q: Does operating temperature range need to be matched exactly?
A: Only the provided temperature ranges are considered. Both main and substitute parts specify their operating ranges, and compatibility is strictly based on these documented limits.
