Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching the following key parameters: manufacturer and series, product category (enclosed AC/DC converter), form factor (16-DIP module), universal AC input range (90 ~ 264 VAC), output power (3W), maximum output current (900mA), application type (ITE), mounting method (through hole), operating temperature range, certifications, and compliance criteria. Substitute parts must have equivalent or compatible electrical and mechanical specifications within these fields.
