PSS6-5-12 TDK-Lambda Americas Inc Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The TDK-Lambda Americas Inc PSS6-5-12 is an obsolete isolated DC-DC converter module with a single 12V output rated at 500mA and 6W output power. It features a 4.5V–9V input range, through-hole mounting, remote on/off, and OCP (Overcurrent Protection), supplied in a 6-DIP module package. As this model is obsolete, sourcing alternatives is necessary to ensure continuity in production, maintenance, and inventory support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based exclusively on matching or exceeding the following application-critical parameters: manufacturer, input voltage range, output voltage (or compatible adjustable range), output current, power rating, number of outputs, module type (isolated), mounting method, and acceptable operating temperature range. Package size and pin compatibility are also considered, as only form-factor variations outlined in the input are included.

Key parameters for substitution:

• Voltage - Input (Min): 4.5V
• Voltage - Input (Max): 9V
• Voltage - Output 1: 12V or adjustable to required value within specified range
• Current - Output (Max): 500mA
• Power (Watts): 6 W
• Number of Outputs: 1
• Type: Isolated Module
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Select CC6-0512SF-E when continuity of supply is required, as PSS6-5-12 is obsolete. CC6-0512SF-E is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected per provided input. Assess package compatibility since the main part uses a 6-DIP Module and the substitute uses a 7-DIP Module as per the available data. No additional certifications or technical constraints are provided in the input.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters when substituting PSS6-5-12 in a design?
A: The critical parameters are input voltage range, output voltage range, maximum output current, power rating, number of outputs, module type (isolated), mounting type, operating temperature, and package type.

Q: Can CC6-0512SF-E be used directly in place of PSS6-5-12?
A: CC6-0512SF-E matches the electrical requirements and mounting type of PSS6-5-12; however, it has a different package (7-DIP Module versus 6-DIP Module). Package outline and pin compatibility should be confirmed per the provided package details.

Q: Is there any difference in compliance or regulatory status between these parts?
A: Based on the provided data, CC6-0512SF-E is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected; PSS6-5-12 compliance is not specified.

Q: What is the significance of the product status when selecting a substitute?
A: As PSS6-5-12 is listed as obsolete, choosing an active part such as CC6-0512SF-E ensures ongoing availability and supply stability.

Q: Does the substitute module support the same ambient operating temperature?
A: Both modules support operation from -40°C to 85°C, either with or without derating, as outlined above.

Q: Are remote on/off and OCP features maintained in the substitute?
A: The provided input lists these features only for PSS6-5-12; CC6-0512SF-E lists 'Enable, Active Low' in control features but does not specify OCP within the given parameters.
