PBO-8-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The CUI Inc. PBO-8-5 is an open frame AC/DC converter engineered for applications in household appliances and ITE (commercial). It provides a single 5V output at up to 1.6A and is rated for an 8W load. The PBO-8-5 operates from a wide input voltage range (85 ~ 305 VAC, 100 ~ 430 VDC), is designed for through-hole mounting, and is packaged in a 16-SIP module with 6 leads. The product is currently classified as Obsolete, making it necessary to identify substitute or cross-reference models to maintain system continuity for inventory replenishment or ongoing production without design modifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part group for the CUI Inc. PBO-8-5 includes devices matched by the following parameters: manufacturer, mounting type (through-hole), package/case (16-SIP Module, 6 Leads), output voltage (5V), input voltage range (85 ~ 305 VAC, 100 ~ 430 VDC), application (Household Appliances, ITE), and operating temperature (-40°C ~ 85°C). Substitute parts must also comply with RoHS, be in stock or active status, and provide equivalent or higher rated output current and power. Certifications and agency approvals must match or exceed the original part numbers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

When substituting the PBO-8-5 with PBO-15C-5, the primary engineering drivers are the obsolete status of PBO-8-5 versus the active status of PBO-15C-5, and compliance with RoHS and agency approvals. Both models possess matching input range, output voltage, mechanical dimensions, and mounting style. PBO-15C-5 is also approved under CE, cURus, and UL. Size, certification, and compliance requirements are maintained with PBO-15C-5 as a substitute within operational specifications.
