Equivalent & Substitute Parts for RAC06-12DC

Part Overview

The RAC06-12DC is an enclosed AC/DC converter from Recom Power, delivering two outputs of 12V, each supporting up to 250mA, with an overall power rating of 6W. This through-hole mounted 5-DIP module complies with CE, cULus, and EN approvals, and is suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications. The product status is listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of suitable alternative part numbers for continued design support or replacement in existing assemblies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts must match or exceed the following core electrical and mechanical parameters: number of outputs, output voltage, output current capability, input voltage range, mounting type, package type, safety certifications, RoHS compliance, and suitability for intended ITE (Commercial) or household appliance applications. Only parts meeting these criteria are considered appropriate substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAC06-12DC is obsolete, and the RAC10-12DK/277 is active with suitable certifications, including CE and cURus approvals. Both devices feature ROHS3 compliance and unrestricted moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute selection is based strictly on product status, provided regulatory compliance, and approval agency equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary criteria for substituting RAC06-12DC with another converter?
A1: Substitution requires matching the number of outputs, output voltage, input voltage range, mounting type, package type, and safety certifications. RoHS compliance and similar approval agencies must also be confirmed.

Q2: Are there considerations regarding package size and mounting for direct substitution?
A2: Both RAC06-12DC and the substitute RAC10-12DK/277 use a 5-DIP module and through-hole mounting. Physical dimensions should be reviewed for enclosure fit in the target application.

Q3: How does product status affect part selection in ongoing designs?
A3: An obsolete status necessitates selection of an active alternative part number. The substitute RAC10-12DK/277 is currently active.

Q4: Is certification equivalence required for application compatibility?
A4: Substitute parts must have matching—or relevant—certifications to conform with application safety and regulatory standards. Both models have CE marking; RAC06-12DC is cULus, RAC10-12DK/277 is cURus.

Q5: What compliance attributes must be verified for substitution?
A5: Both main and substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Equivalent or superior compliance is necessary for direct substitution in regulated environments.
