Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined by ensuring critical electrical and mechanical parameters match. For the Cincon EC4AB14HM DC-DC converter, key parameters considered are input voltage range (18V–36V), output voltages (+12V, -12V), maximum output currents (230mA each), output power (5.5 W), isolation voltage (1.5 kV), number of outputs (2), mounting type (Through Hole), package/case (24-DIP Module, 14 Leads), operating temperature (-25°C~71°C), and compliance certifications (CE, cURus, RoHS3). Only parts with identical or equivalent specifications in these fields are listed as direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EC4AB14HM and the substitute EC4A14HM are listed as active, with ROHS3 compliance and CE/cURus certifications. Both parts have the same input voltage range, output voltages, currents, power rating, operating temperature range, isolation, approvals, and packaging type. The substitute EC4A14HM offers a slightly higher efficiency (82% vs. 81%) and a lower height dimension.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are EC4AB14HM and EC4A14HM DC-DC converters functionally interchangeable?
A: Yes. They have identical input/output parameters, power rating, protection features, approvals, and packaging, making them suitable substitutes within the specified operating range.

Q: Is there a difference in mounting or footprint between EC4AB14HM and EC4A14HM?
A: Both use the same 24-DIP Module, 14 Leads package and through-hole mounting type. The only difference is a slight reduction in height for EC4A14HM.
