PBO-10-15 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The CUI Inc. PBO-10-15 is an open frame AC/DC converter designed to deliver 15V at up to 670mA with a maximum output power of 10W. It supports a wide input voltage range of 85 ~ 305 VAC and 100 ~ 430 VDC, is packaged in a 16-SIP module with through-hole mounting, and is certified to CE and cURus standards. The PBO-10-15 is classified as obsolete, making it necessary to identify equivalent or substitute models to maintain continuity in designs requiring its specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for AC/DC converters are grouped based on matching key electrical and mechanical parameters to ensure functional compatibility. For the PBO-10-15 replacement, substitution is strictly based on the following criteria: input voltage range, output voltage, number of outputs, mounting type, package dimensions, regulatory compliance, and operating temperature range. Only parts that meet or exceed the output power and output current requirements are considered valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The primary selection justification is based on the obsolete product status of PBO-10-15. The replacement unit, PBO-15C-15, maintains provision of equivalent mechanical form factor, output voltage, input voltage range, number of outputs, mounting configuration, and regulatory compliance, with additional certifications. RoHS and REACH compliance are confirmed for both models. Substitute selection is exclusively according to these matched criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters to verify when selecting a substitute for the PBO-10-15?
A: Critical parameters include input voltage range, output voltage, maximum output current, power rating, number of outputs, mounting type, package dimensions, operating temperature range, and regulatory compliance.

Q: Does the package and footprint of PBO-15C-15 match PBO-10-15 for drop-in replacement?
A: Both parts utilize the 16-SIP Module, 6 Leads, with identical size and through-hole mounting, supporting physical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: How does RoHS and REACH compliance affect substitute selection?
A: Both PBO-10-15 and PBO-15C-15 are compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations, meeting industry requirements for hazardous substances and environmental standards.

Q: Are the input voltage and output voltage specifications matched in the substitute part?
A: Both models provide the same input voltage range of 85 ~ 305 VAC and 100 ~ 430 VDC, and an output voltage of 15V.

Q: Does output power or current differ, and is it permissible in substitution?
A: PBO-15C-15 offers higher maximum output current and power (1A, 15W) than PBO-10-15 (670mA, 10W), which is permissible when the application does not require restricting to lower power.

Q: What regulatory approvals should be verified for cross-compatibility?
A: Both units are CE and cURus approved; PBO-15C-15 includes an additional UL certification.
