Equivalent & Substitute Parts for PBO-8-15

Part Overview

The CUI Inc. PBO-8-15 is an Obsolete AC/DC Converter in the Open Frame category, providing a single 15V output at 530mA and 7.95W power capacity. It features a wide input voltage range (85 ~ 305 VAC, 100 ~ 430 VDC), through-hole mounting, and multiple global agency certifications. Due to its Obsolete status, it is necessary to identify interchangeable parts that meet identical electrical and mechanical parameters for direct replacement in existing designs and production.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PBO-8-15 are selected strictly by matching key operational, mechanical, and compliance parameters. For this product category, the allowed parameters for substitution include:

• Input Voltage Range
• Output Voltage
• Output Current (must be equal to or higher)
• Power Rating (must be equal to or higher)
• Number of Outputs
• Mounting Type
• Package / Case dimensions
• Agency Approvals and RoHS Compliance
• Operating Temperature Range

A part is considered a valid substitute if it matches or exceeds these criteria. Mechanical compatibility is ensured by identical package/case and mounting style.

Parameter Comparison
