ODC15 DC Output Module - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ODC15 is a DC output module manufactured by Sensata Technologies, designed to switch and control DC loads up to 3A with an input supply of 15VDC and output voltage range of 3–60VDC. The module features a hold-down screw for secure mounting and is RoHS compliant.

The ODC15 carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating it is obsolete or being phased out. This necessitates identifying equivalent substitute parts that maintain functional compatibility while offering active product support and modern compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ODC15 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Input voltage: 15VDC (exact match required)
• Output voltage range: 3–60VDC (exact match required)
• Output current capacity: 3A minimum
• Physical features: Hold-down screw mounting
• Package type: Bulk

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with varying degrees of parameter alignment and compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ODC-15 (TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays) is the primary substitute for the ODC15. It maintains exact electrical specifications for input voltage (15VDC), output voltage range (3–60VDC), and output current (3A). The part is currently active and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Input current is slightly lower at 16 mA versus 20 mA, and switching times are marginally slower, but these differences remain within acceptable operational tolerances for DC output module applications.

70-ODC15 (Grayhill Inc.) is a secondary substitute option. It exceeds the output current specification at 4.6A and offers superior switching performance with faster turn-on (0.02ms) and turn-off (0.05ms) times. However, this part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected, making it unsuitable for applications requiring modern environmental compliance certifications. Selection of this part should be limited to legacy systems or applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ODC-15 directly replace the ODC15 in existing designs? A: Yes. The ODC-15 maintains identical input voltage (15VDC), output voltage range (3–60VDC), and output current (3A) specifications. Physical mounting via hold-down screw is identical. The part is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between ODC-15 and 70-ODC15? A: Both parts meet the core electrical requirements. The 70-ODC15 offers higher output current (4.6A) and faster switching times. However, the ODC-15 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected, while the 70-ODC15 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring environmental compliance, the ODC-15 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Why is the ODC15 marked "Not For New Designs"? A: This status indicates the part is obsolete or being discontinued by the manufacturer. New designs should specify either the ODC-15 or 70-ODC15 to ensure long-term component availability and support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: All three parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No special packaging considerations apply to substitution.

Q: Which substitute should I select for RoHS-compliant applications? A: The ODC-15 (TE Connectivity) is the only substitute that meets RoHS3 compliance requirements. It is the recommended choice for applications subject to environmental regulations.
