EC4A04M Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The EC4A04M from Cincon Electronics Co. LTD is an isolated DC-DC converter module featuring dual outputs of +12V and -12V at 230mA each, a power rating of 5.5W, input voltage range from 9V to 18V, and 500V isolation. It is designed for ITE (commercial) applications, offering SCP (short circuit protection), ROHS3 compliance, and through-hole mounting in a 24-DIP, 14-lead module. The product is actively stocked. Identifying equivalent parts is essential for supply chain flexibility and procurement when managing inventory or addressing lead time constraints.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent substitution for the EC4A04M DC-DC converter is based strictly on the following parameters: output voltages (+12V and -12V), maximum output current (230mA each channel), power rating (5.5W), input voltage range (9V~18V), isolation voltage (500V), mounting format (Through Hole, 24-DIP, 14 leads), module size, compliance (RoHS3, REACH), and application suitability (ITE commercial). Only parts matching these parameters are grouped as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EC4A04M and EC4A04 are listed as "Active" products and are RoHS3 compliant, with REACH unaffected status, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and identical ECCN/HTSUS values. These compliance and certification attributes confirm the substitution suitability for commercial and regulated applications without introducing variation in environmental, supply chain, or approval status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key substitution criteria for EC4A04M?
A1: Substitution is determined by matching the number of outputs, output voltages (+12V, -12V), maximum output current, input voltage range (9V–18V), isolation voltage, power rating, mounting format, footprint dimensions, and compliance parameters (RoHS3, REACH, MSL, ECCN, HTSUS, Product Status).

Q2: Are EC4A04M and EC4A04 mechanically and electrically interchangeable?
A2: They possess identical key electrical and mechanical parameters, including output ratings, package/case, and mounting type.

Q3: Does the substitute EC4A04 differ in compliance or approvals?
A3: Both parts share RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, MSL 1 rating, ECCN EAR99 classification, and identical HTSUS codes.

Q4: Can the package and footprint be used directly in existing EC4A04M designs?
A4: The substitute offers the same 24-DIP module, 14-lead format, with matching size and through-hole mounting.

Q5: Are there temperature or efficiency differences between EC4A04M and EC4A04?
A5: Both feature an operating temperature range of -25°C ~ 71°C and 83% efficiency per the provided data.

Q6: Is there any difference in features impacting functionality, such as SCP?
A6: Both EC4A04M and EC4A04 provide SCP (short circuit protection) as per the documented features.
