Equivalent & Substitute Parts for PSS6-5-12/S

Part Overview

PSS6-5-12/S by TDK-Lambda Americas Inc is an isolated DC-DC converter module designed to provide a single regulated output of 12V at a maximum current of 500mA from a 4.5V to 9V input range, with a maximum output power of 6W. The series includes features such as remote On/Off control and output overcurrent protection (OCP), and is intended for ITE (commercial) applications. With an efficiency rating of 84% and an operational temperature range from -40°C to 85°C (with derating), it is suitable for surface mount applications. This product is classified as obsolete, making alternative models necessary for ongoing design support or maintenance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The original part, PSS6-5-12/S, is designated as obsolete. The substitute part, CC6-0512SR-E, is listed as active and RoHS compliant. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and have similar application suitability for ITE (commercial) use. Based on the provided information, substitution is supported from product lifecycle and compliance perspectives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary criteria for selecting a substitute DC-DC converter module?
A1: Substitution is determined by type (isolated module), number of outputs, input voltage range, output voltage range, maximum output current, output power, application category, mounting type, and package size.

Q2: Can CC6-0512SR-E be used in the same PCB footprint as PSS6-5-12/S?
A2: Both parts feature surface mount technology, but they utilize different module styles (6-SMD vs. 7-SMD). Package dimensions differ; ensure compatibility with PCB pad layout and mechanical constraints.

Q3: Are the input and output voltage ranges compatible between PSS6-5-12/S and CC6-0512SR-E?
A3: Both have the same input voltage range (4.5V to 9V). The output voltage is 12V for PSS6-5-12/S and 12V to 15V for CC6-0512SR-E; verify application requirements for output voltage range.

Q4: What device standards and compliance are covered for the substitute part?
A4: The substitute, CC6-0512SR-E, is RoHS compliant and listed under REACH as unaffected.

Q5: How does the product status impact selection?
A5: PSS6-5-12/S is obsolete; using an active status part like CC6-0512SR-E provides continued availability and supply chain support.
