RAC03-12SA Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RAC03-12SA is an enclosed AC/DC converter designed for ITE (Commercial) applications, delivering a single 12V output at up to 250mA (3W max) from a universal 90~264 VAC input. This product, part of Recom Power's POWERLINE RAC03-A (3W) series, has reached Obsolete status, which necessitates seeking valid equivalents or substitutes for new designs and ongoing production needs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RAC03-12SA must strictly match the electrical and mechanical parameters essential for device interchangeability within the enclosed AC/DC converter category. The following criteria are used for valid substitution:

  • Output Voltage: 12V
  • Output Current: 250mA (max)
  • Input Voltage Range: 90 ~ 264 VAC
  • Power: 3W
  • Number of Outputs: 1
  • Application: ITE (Commercial)
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole
  • Efficiency: 76%
  • RoHS/REACH Compliance
  • Operating Temperature Range
  • Package Form Factor

Only parts explicitly matching these parameters, as provided, are listed as substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Since the RAC03-12SA is obsolete, selection of substitute parts must be based on maintained electrical parameters (input/output voltages and currents), power rating, mounting style, and RoHS/REACH compliance status. Substitute part RAC03-12SC is also compliant to ROHS3 and REACH, with identical core specifications for voltage, current, and power. Both parts have Through Hole mounting, support single output operation at 12V/250mA, and share an efficiency of 76%. Product status and compliance are required considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the critical electrical parameters for substituting RAC03-12SA?
A1: Output voltage (12V), output current (250mA), input voltage range (90~264 VAC), and power rating (3W) are critical for substitution.

Q2: Are package dimensions and mounting type important in substitution?
A2: Yes. Substitutes must use Through Hole mounting. Package form factors differ (SIP vs DIP), which may influence PCB compatibility.

Q3: Are all listed substitutes RoHS and REACH compliant?
A3: Both RAC03-12SA and RAC03-12SC are specified as ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q4: Can differences in line and load regulation affect substitution?
A4: Substitutes must be evaluated for regulation characteristics within allowed application tolerances. RAC03-12SC has higher specified regulation percentages.

Q5: Do substitutes retain the same application category?
A5: Both parts are categorized for ITE (Commercial) applications.
