Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching critical electrical and mechanical characteristics: input voltage range (90–264VAC), output voltage (12V), output current (max 420mA), power rating (5W), number of outputs (1), mounting style (through hole), environmental compliance (RoHS, REACH), and approval agency certifications. Package form factor and operating temperature are also direct comparison criteria. Substitute models must meet or exceed these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RAC05-12SB and RAC05-12SC are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The RAC05-12SC presents certification through CE, cULus, and EN, and features an expanded operating temperature range. Product status for both indicates "Not For New Designs." Selection between these alternatives should be determined by direct matching of electrical parameters, mounting type, and required certifications as listed above.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters for substituting RAC05-12SB with RAC05-12SC?
A: Key criteria include identical input voltage range (90–264VAC), output voltage (12V), output current (420mA), power rating (5W), number of outputs (1), through-hole mounting, RoHS and REACH compliance, and matching approval agency certifications.

Q: Are there any considerations regarding mounting and package compatibility?
A: Both parts utilize through-hole mounting. The RAC05-12SB uses a 4-DIP module, while the RAC05-12SC employs a 5-DIP module with 4 leads. Dimensional and lead configuration verification is advised based on provided package specifications.

Q: Does the operating temperature differ between these models?
A: Yes, RAC05-12SB operates from -25°C to 70°C (with derating), whereas RAC05-12SC operates from -25°C to 75°C (with derating).

Q: Do both models comply with current RoHS3 and REACH directives?
A: Both RAC05-12SB and RAC05-12SC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: How do approval agencies differ between the two models?
A: RAC05-12SB is certified by CE and cULus, while RAC05-12SC is certified by CE, cULus, and EN.
