Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: RAC15-12DA

Part Overview

The Recom Power RAC15-12DA is an enclosed AC/DC converter rated for dual 12V outputs at 650mA each, with a total output power of 15W. Designed for ITE (commercial) applications, it features short-circuit protection, CE/cULus approvals, and through-hole mounting in an 8-DIP Module package. The product status is Obsolete. Alternative part numbers must be identified to maintain continuity in production and support legacy designs that require direct electrical and mechanical interchangeability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutability is determined by matching core electrical, mechanical, and regulatory compliance attributes. For this product category, substitute AC/DC converters must provide:

• Enclosed type construction
• Dual output channels at 12V
• Through-hole mounting
• Comparable or greater output power and current capability
• Input voltage compatibility
• Certification and compliance alignment (CE, RoHS, etc.)
• Package and case type compatibility

Selection strictness addresses output voltage, number of outputs, input voltage range, and regulatory certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Due to the Obsolete status of RAC15-12DA, a compliant and certified alternative is required to ensure regulatory continuity and inventory sustainability. RAC20-12DK is Active, ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and holds comparable CE approvals. It meets essential substitution criteria, delivering equivalent output voltage, dual-channel operation, through-hole mounting, and enhanced efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary substitution criteria for the RAC15-12DA?

A1: Required matching parameters include 12V dual outputs, enclosed type, through-hole mounting, compatible input voltage range, regulatory approvals, and RoHS compliance.

Q2: Is the substitute part mechanically compatible for through-hole applications?

A2: Both RAC15-12DA and RAC20-12DK feature through-hole mounting. Package formats must be checked for lead compatibility.

Q3: Does the substitute meet international compliance standards?

A3: RAC20-12DK provides CE certification and ROHS3 compliance, aligning with the required standards for the main part.

Q4: Can the substitute support similar electrical loads?

A4: RAC20-12DK offers higher current and power per output, suitable for designs requiring at least the original electrical capability.

Q5: Are the environmental and reliability ratings equivalent?

A5: Both parts specify unlimited MSL and unaffected REACH status. The substitute offers a wider operating temperature range.

Q6: Can RAC20-12DK replace RAC15-12DA in certified ITE commercial systems?

A6: Regulatory alignment with CE and RoHS criteria is supported in both models for ITE (Commercial) usage per the provided data.
