Equivalent & Substitute Parts for CUI Inc. PBO-10-3-B

Part Overview

The CUI Inc. PBO-10-3-B is an open frame AC/DC converter designed for applications in household appliances and ITE (Commercial). This unit features a single output of 3.3V at up to 2A with a wide input voltage range from 85 ~ 305 VAC and 100 ~ 430 VDC. It provides 6.6 W output power and utilizes a through-hole, right angle mounting configuration within a 16-SIP Module, 6 Leads package. The PBO-10-3-B is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating the identification of electrical and mechanical substitutes for ongoing designs or replacement needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Alternative parts for the PBO-10-3-B are selected strictly based on matching input voltage range, output voltage, number of outputs, mounting type, package, operating temperature, and compliance standards. All listed substitutes provide equivalent or higher power and output current, maintain the same open frame structure and SIP package format, and retain relevant safety and regulatory approvals. Substitution logic is strictly based on the parameters below:

• Voltage - Input
• Voltage - Output 1
• Current - Output (Max)
• Number of Outputs
• Mounting Type
• Package / Case
• Operating Temperature
• Key Dimensions
• Approval Agency and Regulatory Standard
• RoHS Status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute parts should be based on the PBO-10-3-B's obsolete status and the need for continued compliance with RoHS and relevant safety and performance standards (CE, cURus, and UL). The listed alternatives, PBO-15C-3 and PBO-15C-3-B, are both in active status and maintain regulatory compliance. Choose substitutes matching your required mounting configuration and package outline. Regulatory certifications and RoHS compliance provided for all substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which electrical parameters must match for a valid substitute in this product category?
A1: Input voltage range, output voltage, maximum output current, and number of outputs must be identical or meet the application's specific requirements for substitution.

Q2: Are package size and mounting method critical for mechanical drop-in replacement?
A2: Yes, the package (16-SIP Module, 6 Leads) and mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle or Through Hole) must be matched for physical compatibility.

Q3: Do substitute parts need identical regulatory certifications?
A3: Yes, regulatory agency approvals (CE, cURus, UL) and RoHS compliance should be matched for application in certified end products.

Q4: Is it acceptable to use a substitute with a higher maximum output current or power?
A4: Substitutes with higher output current or power are permitted within the selector table parameters, ensuring they meet or exceed the necessary electrical performance.

Q5: What criteria are used for selecting substitute parts in this category?
A5: Only parameters explicitly provided: input and output voltage, current, power rating, operating temperature, mounting, package/case, dimensions, regulatory approvals, RoHS status.

Q6: Are there differences in standard compliance between PBO-10-3-B and substitutes?
A6: Refer to the Standard Number and Approval Agency fields in the comparison table for direct review. Substitutes meet provided regulatory criteria.

Q7: What are the mechanical dimensions to review before selecting a substitute?
A7: Check the Size / Dimension field for each part to ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and enclosure designs.
