PTH12060WAS DC DC Converter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PTH12060WAS is a non-isolated Point-of-Load (PoL) module DC-DC converter designed for commercial Information Technology Equipment (ITE) applications. This 55W converter accepts input voltage from 10.8V to 13.2V and delivers adjustable output voltage from 1.2V to 5.5V at up to 10A. The original PTH12060WAS from ARTESYN/Advanced Energy is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for existing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PTH12060WAS (Texas Instruments) is the primary substitute for the obsolete ARTESYN PTH12060WAS. Both parts share identical part numbers and are manufactured by Texas Instruments with Active product status. This variant is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for commercial ITE applications. The Texas Instruments PTH12060WAS maintains all electrical and functional specifications of the original design.

PTH12060WAZ (Texas Instruments) is an alternative substitute within the PTH12060 series. This variant is also manufactured by Texas Instruments with Active product status and carries ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. The PTH12060WAZ delivers identical electrical performance and functional features. The primary distinction is the output protection mechanism (OCP versus SCP), which does not affect electrical compatibility for standard applications.

Both Texas Instruments variants provide supply chain continuity for the obsolete ARTESYN part. Selection between PTH12060WAS and PTH12060WAZ depends on specific application requirements regarding output protection methodology and packaging preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PTH12060WAZ replace PTH12060WAS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver identical input voltage range (10.8V – 13.2V), output voltage range (1.2V – 5.5V), maximum output current (10A), power rating (55W), operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and efficiency (94%). Both feature Remote On/Off control and UVLO protection. The difference in output protection mechanism (OCP versus SCP) does not prevent functional substitution in standard ITE applications.

Q: What is the difference between SCP and OCP protection?

A: SCP denotes Short-Circuit Protection, while OCP denotes Over-Current Protection. Both mechanisms protect the converter output from excessive current conditions. The specific protection methodology does not affect electrical compatibility or performance in applications designed for the PTH12060 series.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible between all three parts?

A: The ARTESYN PTH12060WAS specifies dimensions of 1.00" L × 0.62" W × 0.35" H (25.4mm × 15.7mm × 8.9mm). The Texas Instruments variants (PTH12060WAS and PTH12060WAZ) specify dimensions of 0.99" L × 0.62" W × 0.38" H (25.3mm × 15.8mm × 9.6mm). These dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for surface-mount module replacement in standard PCB layouts. Verify PCB footprint clearance for the height difference of 0.03" (0.7mm).

Q: What is the significance of Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) differences?

A: The ARTESYN part carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. The Texas Instruments variants carry MSL 3 (168 Hours), requiring storage and handling within controlled humidity environments for 168 hours prior to reflow soldering. Verify compliance with your manufacturing process and storage capabilities before selection.

Q: Are the Texas Instruments PTH12060WAS and PTH12060WAZ both currently available?

A: Both parts carry Active product status from Texas Instruments, indicating current availability. Inventory levels are 1626 Pcs for PTH12060WAS and 1523 Pcs for PTH12060WAZ. Verify current availability with your component supplier for your specific procurement timeline.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both Texas Instruments variants (PTH12060WAS and PTH12060WAZ) are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial ITE applications.
