M-IAC5 AC Input Module Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M-IAC5 is an AC input module manufactured by Sensata-Crydom, designed to convert 120VAC input signals to 5VDC output for control and logic applications. This module operates with 6mA input current and delivers 16mA output current, featuring 20ms turn-on and turn-off response times. The part is currently active in production and maintains ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, packaging preferences, or specific application constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 70M-IAC5 manufactured by Grayhill Inc. is identified as a direct substitute for the M-IAC5. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters:

Input voltage specification: Both parts accept 120VAC input, establishing voltage compatibility.

Output voltage specification: Both parts deliver 5VDC output, ensuring signal level compatibility with downstream logic circuits.

Response time characteristics: Both parts maintain identical 20ms turn-on and turn-off times, preserving system timing requirements.

Module type and form factor: Both are AC input modules in mini style packaging, supporting equivalent mechanical integration.

The 70M-IAC5 operates with 8mA input current and 10mA output current, which differ from the M-IAC5 specifications. These differences do not preclude substitution when the application circuit can accommodate the alternative current ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the M-IAC5 and 70M-IAC5 maintain active product status and REACH unaffected classification. The M-IAC5 provides ROHS3 compliance, which may be required for applications subject to European environmental regulations. The 70M-IAC5 is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when regulatory requirements do not mandate RoHS certification.

Output current capacity differs between the two parts: the M-IAC5 delivers 16mA while the 70M-IAC5 delivers 10mA. Selection must account for the current requirements of the connected load circuit. The M-IAC5 is suitable for applications requiring higher output current capacity.

Packaging format differs: the M-IAC5 is supplied in trays while the 70M-IAC5 is supplied in bulk. Packaging selection depends on inventory management practices and assembly line requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 70M-IAC5 replace the M-IAC5 in all applications?

A: The 70M-IAC5 is electrically compatible for voltage and timing specifications. However, the reduced output current rating (10mA versus 16mA) requires verification that the application load does not exceed 10mA. Additionally, RoHS compliance requirements must be evaluated for your specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the different input current ratings?

A: The M-IAC5 requires 6mA input current while the 70M-IAC5 requires 8mA input current. The input source circuit must be capable of supplying the required current. Verify that the 120VAC input source has sufficient current capacity for the selected module.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: Yes. The M-IAC5 is packaged in trays while the 70M-IAC5 is supplied in bulk. If your assembly process requires tray packaging for automated handling, the bulk packaging of the 70M-IAC5 may require repackaging or manual handling adjustments.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution decisions?

A: RoHS compliance is application-dependent. If your product must meet European environmental standards or customer RoHS requirements, the M-IAC5 is the appropriate selection. The 70M-IAC5 is not suitable for applications with mandatory RoHS certification requirements.

Q: Are the response times identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the M-IAC5 and 70M-IAC5 maintain 20ms turn-on and turn-off times, ensuring equivalent system timing performance.
