Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part group is defined strictly by conformity to the following key parameters from the AC/DC converter product category: single output configuration, identical input voltage range, matching output voltage of 3.3V, open frame type, suitable mounting method (through hole), applicable regulatory approvals (CE, cURus), and RoHS compliance. The substitute part included is strictly listed as a manufacturer-recommended alternative, meeting these criteria.

Key parameters for substitution:

• Voltage - Input
• Voltage - Output 1
• Number of Outputs
• Type
• Mounting Type
• Approval Agency
• RoHS Status
• Applications
• Operating Temperature Range

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between PBO-10C-3 and PBO-15C-3 is determined by product status, available certifications, and compliance standards. PBO-10C-3 is obsolete, while PBO-15C-3 is active and ROHS3 Compliant, meeting CE and cURus agency approvals with added UL certification. Both products offer the required input/output parameters, operating temperature range, and mounting configuration for household appliances or ITE (Commercial) applications. Substitute selection is permitted within these strictly matched criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What substitute is available for the obsolete PBO-10C-3 AC/DC converter?
A: The manufacturer-recommended substitute is PBO-15C-3, which matches core electrical and mechanical specifications for the product category.

Q: Are the input and output voltage specifications identical between these models?
A: Both PBO-10C-3 and PBO-15C-3 provide an input range of 85 ~ 305 VAC, 100 ~ 430 VDC and a single output voltage of 3.3V.

Q: Is mechanical compatibility maintained in terms of mounting and package type?
A: Both models feature through-hole mounting; PBO-15C-3 package dimensions and case configuration differ in length and height, requiring assessment for PCB layout conformity.

Q: Which approvals and compliance certifications do the substitute part offer?
A: PBO-15C-3 is CE, cURus, and UL certified and is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What parameter differences should be considered when substituting?
A: Key differences include output current (PBO-15C-3 provides 3A max versus 2A for the original) and package dimension. Dimensions and regulatory certification should be verified against target application and mechanical requirements.
