Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RAC20-15SA is based on matching critical parameters: output voltage (15V), maximum output current, total power (20W), input voltage range, single output configuration, mounting type (Through Hole), and compliance features. The substitute must maintain equivalent performance and form factor for continuous operation within original design constraints. All regulatory compliance and approval certifications are matched as per the provided data.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RAC20-15SA is obsolete and unavailable for new designs. RAC20-15SK is listed as active, provides equivalent output voltage and power, and is fully compliant with ROHS3 and REACH standards. Both parts hold multiple international certifications and maintain a universal input range. Selected substitute must satisfy product status, ongoing compliance, and certification requirements as detailed above.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the main criteria for substituting RAC20-15SA with RAC20-15SK?
Substitution is based on matching electrical characteristics (output voltage, output current, wattage), single output configuration, mounting type, and compliance with ROHS3, REACH, and recognized certifications.

Q2: Are there differences in package size or pin configuration?
RAC20-15SA uses an 8-DIP Module, 5 Leads, while RAC20-15SK uses a 5-DIP Module, 4 Leads. Evaluate the mechanical compatibility with the existing PCB layout for proper fit and connection.

Q3: Is the input voltage range of RAC20-15SK compatible with the original application?
RAC20-15SK supports an input range of 85 ~ 264 VAC, 120 ~ 370 VDC, which encompasses the original specification of 90 ~ 264 VAC. Review system requirements for voltage compatibility.

Q4: Do both parts meet the same safety and environmental standards?
Both RAC20-15SA and RAC20-15SK are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and fall under ECCN EAR99. Approval agency listings include CE for both, with additional agency approvals noted for RAC20-15SK.

Q5: How do the regulation and efficiency specifications compare?
RAC20-15SA has load regulation ±1% and efficiency 83%; RAC20-15SK provides load regulation ±2% and efficiency 86%. Evaluate system requirements to ensure these specifications are within acceptable operational limits.
