KPS15-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The TDK-Lambda Americas Inc KPS15-5 is an AC/DC converter providing a 5V, 15W single output, housed in an open frame 4-DIP module format. Designed for ITE (commercial) applications, it supports universal input (85–264 VAC) and is CE, CSA, EN, and UL approved. The product is classified as obsolete, increasing the necessity to locate compatible alternative models for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. Only direct substitutes matching critical electrical, mechanical, regulatory, and mounting parameters should be considered.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is performed strictly according to matching or exceeding the following key parameters: manufacturer, input voltage range, output voltage, output power, module type, physical package, mounting type, regulatory approvals, compliance status, and standard certification. Only substitute parts that fit the same output voltage, input range, mounting, form factor, and regulatory compliance are listed.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KPSA15-5 and KPSB25-5 are provided by the same manufacturer as direct and manufacturer-recommended substitutes for the obsolete KPS15-5 AC/DC converter. Both substitutes are RoHS Compliant and have global regulatory approvals (CE, CSA, UL). The KPSB25-5 offers increased output power and a slightly different input voltage range. Certifications and compliance status are consistent across the listed options, ensuring equivalence in regulatory and environmental contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the main parameters that allow a part to substitute for KPS15-5?
A1: Substitution requires matching manufacturer, input voltage range, output voltage, power rating, mounting type, package/case, regulatory certifications, and compliance status.

Q2: Are the substitute parts compatible with the same mounting and form factor?
A2: All substitutes utilize the 4-DIP module package and through-hole mounting type, ensuring physical and mechanical compatibility.

Q3: What certifications are present in substitute parts?
A3: Substitute parts maintain CE, CSA, UL, and RoHS approvals. KPSB25-5 includes FCC approval.

Q4: Can substitutes be used in the same application areas?
A4: Both substitutes are suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications, matching the original intended use.

Q5: How does output power affect substitution?
A5: While KPSA15-5 matches the original 15 W rating, KPSB25-5 provides a higher 20 W rating with comparable electrical parameters and approvals, meeting or exceeding original requirements.

Q6: Does the input voltage range differ among substitutes?
A6: KPS15-5 and KPSA15-5 support 85 ~ 264 VAC, while KPSB25-5 supports 90 ~ 264 VAC. All ranges accommodate common AC supply voltages.

Q7: Are substitute parts RoHS Compliant?
A7: All listed substitute parts are RoHS Compliant.

Q8: Are there differences in the operating temperature range?
A8: KPS15-5 and KPSA15-5 operate from 0°C to 70°C (with derating); KPSB25-5 operates from -30°C to 60°C (with derating).
