MA1216DIN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MA1216DIN is a line filter manufactured by TDK-Lambda Americas Inc, rated for 250VDC/VAC at 16A with single-stage configuration and DIN rail mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent filtering performance.

The MA1216DIN serves general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering applications with terminal block termination and operates across -40°C to 85°C. Given its obsolete status, the RSEN-2016LD has been identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, offering equivalent electrical specifications with active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MA1216DIN with the RSEN-2016LD is based on matching the following critical parameters:

• Voltage ratings: Both rated 250VDC/VAC
• Current capacity: Both rated 16A
• Configuration: Both single-stage EMC/EMI filters
• Mounting interface: Both DIN rail mount
• Termination: Both terminal block connection
• Application scope: Both general-purpose filtering

The RSEN-2016LD maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the MA1216DIN while offering improved product status (active vs. obsolete) and expanded regulatory compliance (CSA, EN, UL vs. CSA, SEMKO, UL).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RSEN-2016LD is the direct substitute for the MA1216DIN based on manufacturer designation and equivalent electrical specifications. Selection of the RSEN-2016LD is supported by:

• Identical voltage and current ratings ensuring drop-in compatibility
• Matching DIN rail and terminal block interface
• Active product status providing supply chain continuity
• Expanded regulatory compliance including EN certification
• RoHS compliance status for environmental standards adherence

The operating temperature range of the RSEN-2016LD (-25°C ~ 85°C) is narrower than the MA1216DIN (-40°C ~ 85°C) at the lower bound. Applications requiring operation below -25°C must evaluate this specification difference against system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RSEN-2016LD directly replace the MA1216DIN in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage ratings (250VDC/VAC), current capacity (16A), single-stage configuration, DIN rail mounting, and terminal block termination. Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MA1216DIN is obsolete. The RSEN-2016LD is the manufacturer-recommended active substitute with equivalent specifications.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences?

A: The RSEN-2016LD includes EN certification in addition to CSA and UL approvals present on the MA1216DIN. The RSEN-2016LD also carries RoHS compliance status. Both meet the approval requirements of the original design.

Q: Does the operating temperature range difference affect compatibility?

A: The RSEN-2016LD operates from -25°C to 85°C, compared to the MA1216DIN range of -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -25°C must confirm the RSEN-2016LD meets system temperature requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for the RSEN-2016LD?

A: The RSEN-2016LD is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the MA1216DIN which does not specify packaging type.
