Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitution process for the PBO-10-3 is strictly governed by the provided electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitute parts must match the following key requirements: single output, identical input voltage range (85 ~ 305 VAC, 100 ~ 430 VDC), matching output voltage (3.3V), compatible mounting type (through hole), identical package/case (16-SIP Module, 6 Leads), and dimensional consistency (1.75" L x 0.59" W x 0.94" H). Additional factors include compliance with specified RoHS and REACH statuses and required approvals. Power rating and output current must meet or exceed the main part's specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PBO-10-3 model is obsolete and its substitute, PBO-15C-3, remains active. Both models offer full compliance with RoHS and REACH standards and have comparable mechanical specifications. In addition, both share identical input and output voltage ranges, mounting type, package, and application suitability. Substitute selection is validated for continued regulatory compliance and approved certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary electrical parameters to consider when substituting the PBO-10-3?
A1: The main substitution criteria include single output functionality, identical input voltage range, matching output voltage (3.3V), and sufficient output current and power rating.

Q2: Is the mechanical form factor of the substitute PBO-15C-3 compatible with the PBO-10-3?
A2: Both use the 16-SIP Module, 6 Leads package with the same physical dimensions (1.75" L x 0.59" W x 0.94" H).

Q3: Are certification and compliance statuses consistent between the main and substitute parts?
A3: Both units are RoHS and REACH compliant, and have CE and cURus approvals. The substitute additionally holds a UL certification.

Q4: Can the substitute part be used in the same application environments as the original?
A4: Both parts are suited for household appliances and ITE (Commercial) applications.

Q5: What is the status significance for component selection?
A5: The main part (PBO-10-3) is obsolete, requiring active parts like the PBO-15C-3 for ongoing installations and design support.
