Equivalent & Substitute Parts for RAC05-12SA

Part Overview

RAC05-12SA is an AC/DC converter manufactured by Recom Power, classified under enclosed AC/DC converters. The unit delivers 12V at a maximum output current of 416mA, supporting a broad input voltage range (90–264 VAC). This model is designated as "Not For New Designs," necessitating the identification of suitable substitute parts for ongoing or new applications. The component features through-hole mounting, CE and cULus approvals, RoHS3 compliance, and is primarily deployed in ITE (Commercial) applications. The need to find alternatives arises from its product status and to maintain compatibility and continuity in systems requiring identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for RAC05-12SA are identified strictly by matching the key electrical and mechanical characteristics:

• Input voltage range (90 ~ 264 VAC)
• Output voltage (12V)
• Output current rating (≥416mA)
• Power rating (5 W)
• Number of outputs (1)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Compliance (RoHS3, REACH, certifications)
• Package / case type and dimensions
• Approval agency standards

These parameters must align exactly between the main part and substitutes to ensure drop-in compatibility and maintain required certifications for ITE (Commercial) applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RAC05-12SA and RAC05-12SC are identified as "Not For New Designs" and conform to ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Both models offer multi-agency approvals, through-hole mounting, and match the key functional parameters for use in ITE (Commercial) systems. Substitute selection should be based exclusively on matching the listed electrical ratings, compliance status, and approval agencies. The mechanical package dimensions and pin configuration must be verified per provided parameters for physical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What criteria determine valid substitutes for RAC05-12SA?
A: Valid substitutes must match input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, number of outputs, mounting type, compliance status, package/case type, and approval agencies as listed.

Q: Is RAC05-12SC a direct substitute for RAC05-12SA?
A: RAC05-12SC provides the same input voltage, output voltage, power, and mounting method. Both are RoHS3 and REACH compliant with similar agency approvals. Differences in package dimensions and lead count must be considered for mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both models meet regulatory requirements for ITE (Commercial) applications?
A: Both parts hold CE and cULus certifications and RoHS3/REACH compliance, which satisfies regulatory requirements for ITE and related commercial applications as provided.

Q: Are the package/case dimensions identical?
A: RAC05-12SA uses a 6-DIP Module, 5 Leads, with dimensions of 2.17" x 1.77" x 0.82". RAC05-12SC uses a 5-DIP Module, 4 Leads, with dimensions of 2.11" x 1.09" x 0.62". Mechanical fit and pin compatibility must be confirmed using these exact measurements.

Q: Is there any difference in output current specification?
A: RAC05-12SC offers a 420mA maximum output current, whereas RAC05-12SA specifies 416mA. Both support up to 5 W output, with minor variations as per provided ratings.

Q: What is the significance of product status “Not For New Designs”?
A: The “Not For New Designs” status indicates that these models should not be implemented in new hardware designs and alternatives should be selected for ongoing development or maintenance needs.
