Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped based on equivalence across specific, allowed electrical and mechanical parameters: input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, application type, operating temperature range, package style, mounting type, regulatory compliance, and status (e.g., active or not for new designs). Only parts matching these key parameters are included as valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RAC06-12SC is listed as "Not For New Designs," requiring consideration of substitute parts for new deployments. IRM-05-12 is an active model and matches key compliance attributes including ROHS3, REACH unaffected status, and ECCN EAR99 classification. Both models support ITE (Commercial) applications, universal input, and through-hole mounting. Regulatory approvals for the IRM-05-12 include CB, CE, cURus, EAC, and TUV.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which key parameters must match when selecting a substitute for RAC06-12SC?
A1: Substitute selection is based exclusively on the following parameters: input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, application type, operating temperature, mounting type, package style, regulatory compliance, and product status.

Q2: Is IRM-05-12 pin-compatible with RAC06-12SC?
A2: Both modules are through-hole AC/DC converters; however, the RAC06-12SC utilizes a 5-DIP Module with 4 leads, and the IRM-05-12 uses a 4-DIP Module. Mechanical layout differences should be reviewed for direct pin compatibility.

Q3: Does IRM-05-12 provide the same output voltage as RAC06-12SC?
A3: Both parts provide a single 12V output.

Q4: Are the safety and environmental certifications equivalent between RAC06-12SC and IRM-05-12?
A4: Both models are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Safety certifications differ, with IRM-05-12 having additional regulatory agency approvals.

Q5: What is the primary consideration for transitioning to IRM-05-12 from RAC06-12SC?
A5: The considered substitute, IRM-05-12, is active and suitable for new design-in situations, adhering to key parameter requirements and compliance status in commercial ITE AC/DC converter applications. Mechanical package variations should be reviewed for PCB layout compatibility.
