IAC15 AC Input Module 120V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IAC15 is an AC Input Module manufactured by Sensata-Crydom, designed to convert 120VAC supply input to 15VDC output with 16mA capacity. This module features a hold-down screw design and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IAC15 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Input voltage specification: 120VAC
• Output voltage specification: 15VDC
• Switching timing characteristics: 20ms turn-on, 30ms turn-off
• Physical design feature: Hold-down screw mounting
• Functional classification: AC Input Module

The IAC-15 manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays meets these core functional requirements. While output current capacity differs (18mA versus 16mA), this represents an increase in available current, maintaining backward compatibility for applications designed around the original 16mA specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IAC-15 from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays is an active product substitute for the obsolete IAC15. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The IAC-15 maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete IAC15.

Compliance Certifications: The IAC-15 meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH Affected, representing current regulatory standards. The original IAC15 meets RoHS Compliant status.

Electrical Compatibility: Both modules provide identical input voltage (120VAC), output voltage (15VDC), and switching timing (20ms on, 30ms off). The IAC-15 provides increased output current capacity (18mA versus 16mA), which does not compromise applications designed for the original 16mA specification.

Physical Compatibility: Both modules feature hold-down screw mounting, supporting direct mechanical integration into existing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IAC-15 directly replace the IAC15 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The IAC-15 maintains identical input voltage (120VAC), output voltage (15VDC), and switching timing specifications (20ms turn-on, 30ms turn-off). Both modules feature hold-down screw mounting for mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in output current between these modules?

A: The IAC15 provides 16mA output current, while the IAC-15 provides 18mA. The increased capacity in the substitute part does not create compatibility issues for applications designed around the original 16mA specification.

Q: Why is the IAC15 listed as obsolete?

A: The IAC15 is classified as obsolete by Sensata-Crydom. The IAC-15 from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays is an active product, making it the appropriate choice for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these modules?

A: The IAC15 packaging is listed as standard, while the IAC-15 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What compliance standards apply to each module?

A: The IAC15 meets RoHS Compliant standards. The IAC-15 meets ROHS3 Compliant standards and is REACH Affected, reflecting current regulatory requirements.
