IAC15A AC Input Module 240V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IAC15A is an AC Input Module manufactured by Sensata Technologies, designed to convert 240VAC input signals to 15VDC output for industrial control applications. This module features a 16mA output capacity with integrated hold-down screw mounting. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and legacy equipment support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IAC15A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Input voltage specification: 240VAC
• Output voltage specification: 15VDC
• Module type classification: AC Input Module
• Physical mounting feature: Hold Down Screw
• Response timing characteristics: Turn On/Off times

The 70-IAC15A from Grayhill Inc. qualifies as a substitute based on matching input voltage (240VAC), output voltage (15VDC), module type (AC Input Module), and mounting configuration (Hold Down Screw). Variations in input current (6 mA vs. 8 mA) and output current (10mA vs. 16mA) represent operational differences within acceptable substitution parameters for this component category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 70-IAC15A represents the primary substitute for the obsolete IAC15A. Both modules maintain identical input and output voltage specifications (240VAC input, 15VDC output) and share equivalent mechanical mounting configurations with hold-down screws.

The 70-IAC15A is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both components carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99), confirming regulatory equivalence for export and compliance purposes.

The 70-IAC15A operates with reduced input current (6 mA vs. 8 mA) and output current capacity (10mA vs. 16mA). The 70-IAC15A also exhibits faster turn-off response (20ms vs. 30ms). These operational differences must be evaluated against specific application requirements to confirm functional compatibility within the target system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 70-IAC15A a valid substitute for the IAC15A?

A: Both modules share identical input voltage (240VAC), output voltage (15VDC), module type classification (AC Input Module), and physical mounting features (Hold Down Screw). These parameters define the substitution criteria for this component category.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these modules?

A: Yes. The 70-IAC15A operates with lower input current (6 mA vs. 8 mA) and reduced output current capacity (10mA vs. 16mA). The turn-off time is also faster (20ms vs. 30ms). Applications requiring the full 16mA output current of the original IAC15A must account for the 70-IAC15A's 10mA maximum output specification.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The IAC15A is supplied in standard packaging, while the 70-IAC15A is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both modules compliant with current regulations?

A: Both the IAC15A and 70-IAC15A carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99). The 70-IAC15A is RoHS non-compliant. Regulatory requirements for the target application must be confirmed before final component selection.

Q: Why is the IAC15A classified as obsolete?

A: The IAC15A is no longer in active production. The 70-IAC15A from Grayhill Inc. is maintained as an active product and represents the recommended substitute for ongoing system support and maintenance.
