RAC05-15SB Equivalent & Substitute Parts Engineering Reference

Part Overview

The RAC05-15SB by Recom Power is an enclosed AC/DC converter providing a single 15V, 333mA output with 5W power capability and universal input voltage compatibility (90–264 VAC). It features a through-hole 4-DIP module form factor, is RoHS3 compliant, and is certified by CE and cULus. The product is classified as obsolete, requiring identification of substitute AC/DC converters with matching or superseding parameters to ensure continued design or maintenance compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are selected based on strict adherence to the following key parameters: output voltage (15V), power rating (≥5W), output current (≥333mA), AC input voltage range overlapping with 90–264 VAC, number of outputs (1), mounting type (through hole), package style (DIP module), and RoHS compliance. Acceptance of certifications for ITE (Commercial) applications is also considered. Only parts meeting or exceeding these specifications are included as equivalents or substitutes.

Key parameters used:

• Output voltage: 15V
• Output current: ≥333mA
• Output power: ≥5W
• Input voltage: covers 90–264 VAC
• Number of outputs: 1
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package: DIP module
• RoHS compliance
• Approval certifications relevant to ITE (Commercial)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of RAC10-15SK/277, RAC05-15SC, or ECE10US15 as substitutes for RAC05-15SB is based on matching output voltage, input voltage compatibility, power rating, mounting type, and RoHS3 compliance. Certifications for ITE (Commercial) applications and CE/UL-related agency approvals are provided for all substitutes. Only parts with "Active" or relevant non-obsolete status should be used for new designs to meet long-term availability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria determine if a substitute is valid for RAC05-15SB?
A1: Valid substitutes must have a single 15V output, match or exceed 333mA output current and 5W power, support through-hole mounting in a DIP module package, accommodate input voltage spans including 90–264 VAC, and maintain RoHS compliance.

Q2: Are there differences in package size or style among substitutes?
A2: While RAC05-15SB and most substitutes utilize a DIP module, specific dimensions and lead arrangements (such as 4-DIP vs. 5-DIP modules) differ. Verification of PCB footprint compatibility is necessary when replacing parts with varying PCB mounting layouts.

Q3: What certifications are required for ITE (Commercial) use?
A3: Substitute parts listed provide certifications such as CE, UL (cULus, cURus), EN, or CSA, suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications, as specified in their approval agency parameters.

Q4: How does product status affect substitution?
A4: Substitute parts with "Active" product status ensure continued availability for ongoing or new designs, while "Obsolete" or "Not For New Designs" status should be considered only for maintenance or replacement purposes in legacy equipment.

Q5: Can substitute parts with higher output power or current be used without issue?
A5: If all other key parameters match, parts with higher output power or current than RAC05-15SB meet the substitution requirements as defined by the provided input data.
