Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: RAC03-15SA

Part Overview

RAC03-15SA is an obsolete AC/DC converter manufactured by Recom Power, designed for ITE (Commercial) applications. It offers 3W power output with an enclosed through-hole mounting module, delivering a single 15V output at 200mA from a universal 90-264 VAC input. The necessity for substitute models arises due to its obsolete status, making ongoing availability and selection of compatible alternatives critical for maintenance, new designs, or repair operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic is strictly determined by matching key electrical and mechanical parameters: output voltage (15V), maximum output current (200mA), power rating (3W), input voltage range (90 ~ 264 VAC), mounting type (Through Hole), application (ITE Commercial), and RoHS compliance. Differences in package and operating temperature ranges are noted but do not disqualify substitutes when core function and regulatory compliance are maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RAC03-15SA and its substitute RAC03-15SC have the same RoHS3 compliance, power rating, output voltage, current, input voltage range, efficiency, application, and obsolete status. RAC03-15SC possesses CE, EN, and UL approvals, as well as additional standard numbers (60335-1; 60950-1) not indicated for RAC03-15SA. The substitute can be selected when product status, efficiency, and regulatory certifications meet specified requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What electrical parameters must match when selecting a substitute for RAC03-15SA?
A1. Output voltage (15V), maximum output current (200mA), power rating (3W), and input voltage range (90 ~ 264 VAC) are required to match for substitutability.

Q2. How does enclosure and mounting type affect compatibility?
A2. Both RAC03-15SA and RAC03-15SC use through-hole mounting and are enclosed modules. Compatibility depends on the physical module footprint and board design.

Q3. Are there differences in regulatory or approval status between main and substitute parts?
A3. RAC03-15SC provides CE, EN, and UL certifications, as well as compliance to standard numbers 60335-1 and 60950-1, which are not indicated for RAC03-15SA.

Q4. Can operating temperature differences affect substitution?
A4. Operating temperature range is wider in RAC03-15SA (-40°C ~ 85°C) than RAC03-15SC (-25°C ~ 85°C). Selection must consider environmental requirements.

Q5. Is package size and configuration a critical substitution consideration?
A5. RAC03-15SA uses a 4-SIP Module, while RAC03-15SC uses a 16-DIP Module, 5 Leads. Substitute selection must match board layout specifications and available space.
