RAC04-3.3SC Equivalent & Substitute Parts Engineering Reference

Part Overview

The Recom Power RAC04-3.3SC is an enclosed AC/DC converter with a single 3.3V output, 1.2A current capability, and a universal input range of 80–264 VAC. It delivers 4W power for ITE (Commercial) applications and features a 16-DIP module with through-hole mounting. The product is classified as obsolete, making it essential to find functionally equivalent or parametric substitute models to maintain design continuity and supply chain integrity for ongoing and future projects.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RAC04-3.3SC and RAC04-3.3SGB are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected with MSL 1. The RAC04-3.3SGB is currently active and provides regulatory compliance with CE and cURus, whereas RAC04-3.3SC is obsolete with CE and cULus certification. Selection should be based on product availability, product status, and the required regulatory certifications detailed in the specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary criteria for AC/DC converter substitution in this category?
A1: Substitute parts must match output voltage, output current, input voltage range, packaging, mounting type, and compliance certifications.

Q2: Are mechanical package differences allowed for substitutes?
A2: Only mechanically compatible substitutions are considered valid. Both RAC04-3.3SC and RAC04-3.3SGB utilize the 16-DIP Module, 5 Leads package with similar dimensions.

Q3: How do regulatory approvals affect substitution?
A3: Regulatory approvals (e.g., CE, cURus, cULus) must be compared for project compliance. Substitute parts must meet or exceed the specified standards.

Q4: Is availability a factor in selection?
A4: Product status (active vs. obsolete) directly impacts availability and supply planning.

Q5: Do substitutes require matching RoHS/REACH compliance?
A5: Substitutes must be RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected if these are required parameters. Both parts fulfill these criteria.
