RAC04-15SC Equivalent & Substitute AC/DC Converter Reference

Part Overview

The RAC04-15SC from Recom Power is an enclosed AC/DC converter designed for ITE (Commercial) applications. This device provides a single 15V output with a maximum current of 267mA, supporting universal AC inputs from 80 to 264 VAC. The RAC04-15SC is RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and housed in a 16-DIP module for through-hole mounting. Its product status is "Obsolete," which necessitates the selection of alternative models to ensure continued availability and support in ongoing or new designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for AC/DC converters is strictly determined by parameters including output voltage (15V), output current (267mA or above), input voltage range (covering at least 80~264 VAC), power rating (4 W), number of outputs (1), mounting type (Through Hole), package and footprint (16-DIP Module, 5 Leads), certifications (e.g., CE, RoHS), and functional category (Enclosed, ITE/Commercial use). All substitutions are made only if these criteria are matched.

The identified substitutes are:

  • RAC04-15SGB (Direct Substitute from the same manufacturer and family)
  • RAC04-15SC (Parametric Equivalent, exact match)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Given the product status of RAC04-15SC is obsolete, selecting substitute parts with a status of "Active" ensures ongoing supply. Both RAC04-15SGB and RAC04-15SC are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, supporting environmental compliance requirements. Certified approvals (CE with cULus or cURus) are maintained within all listed substitute options, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What determines if an AC/DC converter is a suitable substitute for RAC04-15SC?
A1: Substitution is determined by matching output voltage (15V), output current rating (equal or higher), power rating (4 W), input voltage range (covering at least 80~264 VAC), number of outputs (1), package, and mounting style. Regulatory and environmental compliance must also be equivalent.

Q2: Are there any significant differences between RAC04-15SGB and RAC04-15SC?
A2: RAC04-15SGB offers a wider input voltage range (85~305 VAC), slightly higher output current (270mA), and an "Active" product status. Package type, output voltage, and overall electrical characteristics are equivalent.

Q3: How should engineers consider approval agencies and compliance?
A3: Approval agency certifications such as CE and cULus/cURus, as well as RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, should be maintained for regulatory conformity in the target application.

Q4: Is mechanical fitment equivalent for substitutes listed?
A4: Both RAC04-15SGB and RAC04-15SC substitutes use the 16-DIP Module, 5 Leads and through-hole mounting, maintaining compatibility in PCB layout and assembly.

Q5: Can these substitutes be used interchangeably without modifying the design?
A5: Substitutes provided have matching core electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters. Review size/dimension for fit within mechanical constraints.
