Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PTH03010WAH is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Input voltage range: 2.95V – 3.65V
• Output voltage range: 0.8V – 2.5V
• Maximum output current: 15A
• Power rating: 37W
• Single output configuration

Physical & Mechanical Specifications:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: 10-DIP Module
• Dimensions: 1.37" L × 0.62" W × 0.35" H

Environmental & Operational Specifications:

• Operating temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
• Efficiency: 93%

A substitute part must match all electrical specifications, maintain identical physical dimensions and mounting characteristics, and support the same operating temperature range. Packaging format and product status may differ, provided the substitute is functionally and mechanically compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Texas Instruments PTH03010WAH is a direct functional equivalent to the ARTESYN PTH03010WAH. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, mounting characteristics, and operating temperature ranges.

Key Differentiation Factors:

Product Status: The ARTESYN version is obsolete, while the Texas Instruments version is active. For new designs or long-term supply requirements, the Texas Instruments variant provides ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Regulatory Compliance: The Texas Instruments PTH03010WAH is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the ARTESYN version is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the Texas Instruments part satisfies current regulatory standards.

Moisture Sensitivity: The ARTESYN part carries MSL 3 (168 Hours) classification. The Texas Instruments part lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating different handling and storage requirements during manufacturing and assembly.

REACH Status: The Texas Instruments part is REACH Unaffected, providing clarity on chemical substance compliance for European market applications.

For replacement, repair, or new procurement of PTH03010W series converters, the Texas Instruments PTH03010WAH is the appropriate selection based on active product status and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Texas Instruments PTH03010WAH directly replace the ARTESYN PTH03010WAH in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same input voltage range (2.95V – 3.65V), output voltage range (0.8V – 2.5V), maximum output current (15A), power rating (37W), physical dimensions (1.37" L × 0.62" W × 0.35" H), mounting type (Through Hole), package type (10-DIP Module), and operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The ARTESYN PTH03010WAH is obsolete, meaning the manufacturer no longer produces or supports this part. The Texas Instruments PTH03010WAH is active, indicating ongoing production, availability, and manufacturer technical support. For new designs or systems requiring long-term supply assurance, the active Texas Instruments part is the appropriate choice.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: The ARTESYN part is RoHS non-compliant, while the Texas Instruments part is ROHS3 compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, the Texas Instruments part satisfies this requirement. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts use 10-DIP Module packaging and Through Hole mounting. The Texas Instruments part is specified as Tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it relates only to how the parts are supplied and handled during procurement and assembly.

Q: What does MSL 3 (168 Hours) mean for the ARTESYN part?

A: MSL 3 indicates Moisture Sensitivity Level 3, with a floor life of 168 hours. This specifies handling and storage requirements during manufacturing. The part must be used within 168 hours of exposure to ambient conditions after opening from moisture-sealed packaging. The Texas Instruments part lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating different moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance: 93% efficiency, 15A maximum output current, 37W power rating, and the same input and output voltage specifications. Performance is equivalent across all provided electrical parameters.
