Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution options for DC-DC converters are determined by direct equivalence of all critical parameters, including:

• Output voltages (5V, -5V) and output current capabilities (300mA each)
• Input voltage range (4.5V - 6V)
• Output power (3W)
• Isolation voltage (500V)
• Mounting type (Through Hole) and mechanical envelope (24-DIP Module, 14 Leads, 1.25" x 0.80" x 0.40")
• Application ratings and compliance (ITE, ROHS3, REACH, MSL)

Only models matching these parameters, including series and manufacturer, are listed as substitute or equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
