PTH12050WAS DC DC Converter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PTH12050WAS is a non-isolated Point-of-Load (PoL) module DC-DC converter designed for commercial Information Technology Equipment (ITE) applications. This component provides a single regulated output with adjustable voltage range from 1.2V to 5.5V, drawing input power from a 10.8V to 13.2V source at up to 6A output current. The PTH12050WAS is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH-affected status. Due to the original manufacturer designation and evolving product lifecycle management, equivalent substitute parts are available to ensure design continuity and supply chain flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PTH12050WAS is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute parts must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Mandatory Match):

• Input voltage range: 10.8V to 13.2V
• Output voltage range: 1.2V to 5.5V
• Maximum output current: 6A
• Power rating: 33W
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Efficiency: 93%

Mechanical Parameters (Mandatory Match):

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package type: 6-SMD Module
• Functional features: Remote On/Off, OCP, UVLO

Regulatory & Compliance Parameters:

• ECCN classification: EAR99
• HTSUS code: 8504.40.9580

Parts meeting all electrical and mechanical parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in product status, packaging format (Tray), moisture sensitivity level, and REACH compliance status do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PTH12050WAZ and PTH12050WAS (Texas Instruments) are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the original PTH12050WAS (ARTESYN / Advanced Energy). All three parts satisfy identical electrical specifications, output characteristics, and functional requirements for ITE commercial applications.

PTH12050WAZ Selection Criteria: The PTH12050WAZ is suitable for applications where REACH compliance status is not a constraint. This part carries REACH Unaffected designation and maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The moisture sensitivity level of 3 (168 Hours) requires standard handling procedures during storage and assembly.

PTH12050WAS (Texas Instruments) Selection Criteria: The PTH12050WAS from Texas Instruments is suitable for applications requiring REACH Affected compliance documentation. This part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity level of 3 (168 Hours). The REACH Affected status indicates regulatory tracking requirements for specific substance usage.

Original PTH12050WAS (ARTESYN / Advanced Energy) Status: The original part is classified as obsolete. Transition to active substitute parts is recommended for new designs and ongoing production to ensure long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PTH12050WAZ and PTH12050WAS (Texas Instruments) be used interchangeably with the original PTH12050WAS?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts match all electrical parameters (input voltage 10.8V-13.2V, output voltage 1.2V-5.5V, 6A maximum output current, 33W power rating, 93% efficiency) and mechanical specifications (Surface Mount, 6-SMD Module package, identical features). They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between PTH12050WAZ and PTH12050WAS from Texas Instruments?

A: The primary difference is REACH compliance status. PTH12050WAZ carries REACH Unaffected designation, while PTH12050WAS carries REACH Affected designation. Both parts are electrically identical and functionally equivalent. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Does the moisture sensitivity level difference affect substitutability?

A: No. The original part has MSL 1 (Unlimited), while both Texas Instruments substitutes have MSL 3 (168 Hours). This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. MSL 3 requires standard moisture control during storage and assembly, which is standard industry practice.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the substitute parts?

A: The original PTH12050WAS has a height of 0.34" (8.6mm), while both Texas Instruments substitutes have a height of 0.36" (9.1mm). Length and width dimensions are identical at 0.87" x 0.50" (22.1mm x 12.7mm). This 0.02" height difference must be evaluated for PCB layout and enclosure clearance in the specific application.

Q: Why is the original part marked as obsolete?

A: Product lifecycle management and supply chain optimization result in obsolescence designations. Active substitute parts from Texas Instruments provide equivalent functionality with current manufacturing support and compliance certifications.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: Both Texas Instruments substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. REACH status differs between the two parts. Both share identical HTSUS code 8504.40.9580 for tariff classification purposes.
