Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference for DKA30A-15

Part Overview

DKA30A-15, by MEAN WELL USA Inc., is an active, ROHS3 compliant, isolated DC-DC converter designed for ITE (Commercial) applications. It provides dual output voltages of +15V and -15V at up to 1A each, with a maximum power delivery of 30W and 1kV isolation voltage. The device features remote On/Off, OCP, and SCP protections and is available in an 8-DIP Module, through-hole package. Alternative models are sought to ensure supply chain flexibility, compliance with technical standards, or maintenance when the primary part is unavailable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DKA30A-15 isolated DC-DC converter are selected strictly based on the following parameters from the product category:

  • Input voltage range (must include 9V–18V)
  • Output voltage configuration (+15V and -15V, dual output)
  • Output current rating (must match or exceed 1A per output)
  • Rated power (must match or exceed 30W)
  • Package / Mechanical dimensions (8-DIP Module, through-hole mounting, compatible size)
  • Isolation voltage (equal or greater)
  • Compliance (RoHS3, REACH)
  • Product status (Active)
  • Standard features (Remote On/Off, OCP, SCP or compatible protection)

Only models meeting these criteria are considered substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

When selecting substitute DC-DC converters for DKA30A-15, use only models that are in active production status and meet industry compliance standards such as RoHS3 and REACH. The substitute RP40-2415DGW from Recom Power fulfills these requirements and is available in tube packaging with identical through-hole, 8-DIP Module housing. Engineering teams must validate inventory and certification status according to sourcing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What electrical parameters determine a valid substitute for DKA30A-15?
Only input voltage range, output voltage configuration, output current ratings, maximum power, isolation voltage, and feature set are used for substitution.

Q2: Does mechanical compatibility affect substitution?
Yes, substitute parts must share mounting type, package/case (8-DIP Module), and comparable mechanical dimensions for direct replacement.

Q3: Are there compliance considerations in part substitution?
Substitute parts must provide equivalent RoHS and REACH status and moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q4: How do operating temperature ranges impact selection?
Only specified operating temperature ranges in the provided parameters are considered; no extrapolation is performed beyond these values.

Q5: Why are only certain features listed under substitution criteria?
Features are limited to those provided in the input, such as Remote On/Off, OCP, and SCP, for direct comparison. Additional features on the substitute part do not affect substitution eligibility unless specified.

Q6: Can substitute parts offer higher power or wider input ranges?
Substitute parts can offer greater maximum power and a broader input voltage range, provided they encompass all values required by the main part.
