RAC04-09SA Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RAC04-09SA from Recom Power is an enclosed AC/DC converter module, offering 9V output at up to 444mA (4W) from a universal 90–264 VAC input. Designed for ITE (Commercial) applications, it features through-hole mounting in a 7-DIP module. This model holds both CE and cULus/EN safety approvals and is ROHS3 compliant. The RAC04-09SA is classified as obsolete, making evaluation and selection of substitute models necessary for ongoing projects, maintenance, and new designs requiring sustained supply and spec compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: output voltage, output current capability, input voltage range, power rating, mounting type, application, regulatory approval status, package/case, and environmental compliance. Substitute models are only listed if these parameters are within the limits of the original specification, and if the substitute model maintains necessary certifications and compliance for ITE (Commercial) use. Product status must be "Active" or equivalent to ensure supply continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of RAC04-09SGB as a substitute for RAC04-09SA is supported by matching 9V output, comparable output current capability, identical power rating, through-hole mounting, and universal input voltage compliance. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and designed for ITE (Commercial) applications. Substitute model RAC04-09SGB maintains active status, providing supply continuity. Differences in approval agency listings and package/case format should be reviewed for regulatory and fit requirements for the intended assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What are the essential parameters for substituting RAC04-09SA in AC/DC converter applications?
Essential substitution parameters are output voltage (9V), output current capability (≥440mA), input voltage range (universal input), power rating (4W), mounting type (through hole), regulatory approvals, package/case compatibility, and application type (ITE Commercial).

Q2. Are the mechanical dimensions and pinout equivalent between RAC04-09SA and RAC04-09SGB?
RAC04-09SA is a 7-DIP module with dimensions 1.44" x 1.07" x 0.69". RAC04-09SGB is a 5-DIP module at 1.46" x 0.94" x 0.59". Mechanical compatibility should be validated against PCB layout and available space.

Q3. Does RAC04-09SGB support the same input voltage as RAC04-09SA?
RAC04-09SGB supports a wider input range (85 ~ 305 VAC vs. 90 ~ 264 VAC) and covers the full input range specified for RAC04-09SA.

Q4. What are the regulatory standards for the substitute part?
RAC04-09SGB is CE and cURus approved; RAC04-09SA is CE, cULus, EN approved. Verification of regional and application-specific approval compatibility should be performed if required.

Q5. How does operating temperature differ between the models?
RAC04-09SA operates at -40°C ~ 70°C (With Derating), while RAC04-09SGB operates at -40°C ~ 85°C (With Derating), offering a broader upper temperature limit.

Q6. Are both models RoHS compliant?
Both RAC04-09SA and RAC04-09SGB are ROHS3 compliant according to the provided specifications.

Q7. Can RAC04-09SGB be used as a drop-in replacement for RAC04-09SA?
Electrical parameters align, but physical footprint, pin configuration, and regulatory approvals must be matched to the circuit design requirements before implementation.
