RAC20-24SA Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RAC20-24SA, manufactured by Recom Power, is an AC/DC converter with a single 24V output rated for 20W. It is part of the POWERLINE RAC20-A (20W) series and is designed for ITE (Commercial) applications. This model features universal input (90 ~ 264 VAC), through hole mounting, CE and cULus approvals, and ROHS3 compliance. According to the provided product status, it is classified as "Not For New Designs," making it necessary to identify strict parametric substitutes for continued design support or replacement in maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RAC20-24SA are determined strictly by matching all output and mechanical parameters. The substitute must share the same manufacturer, part number, input voltage range, output voltage and current, output power, application category, package/case dimensions, approval/certification standards, compliance statuses, and mounting type. Only substitutes with identical key parameters provided above are considered equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Engineering selection between the RAC20-24SA and its equivalent (RAC20-24SA) is determined solely by availability and compliance requirements. Both units have identical electrical and mechanical parameters, share the same certification (CE, cULus), standard (60950-1), RoHS status, and REACH status. For applications requiring maintained certification or RoHS compliance, either RAC20-24SA model satisfies these criteria under the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria must substitute AC/DC converters meet for the RAC20-24SA?
A1: Equivalent substitutes must match all specified parameters including input range, output voltage/current, power rating, application, mounting type, package dimensions, approval agency, compliance standards, and certifications.

Q2: Is package compatibility a concern when substituting the RAC20-24SA?
A2: Substitute units must use the same 8-DIP Module, 5 Leads package and identical dimension specifications (2.76" L x 1.89" W x 0.88" H) to ensure compatibility with existing board layouts.

Q3: Does compliance status affect substitute selection?
A3: Both RoHS status (ROHS3 Compliant), Moisture Sensitivity Level (1, Unlimited), and REACH status (Unaffected) must be matched by substitute parts to ensure conformity with environmental and safety requirements.

Q4: Are substitute parts required to have identical approval and certification standards?
A4: Substitute AC/DC converters must have identical approval agency markings (CE, cULus) and meet the same standard number (60950-1) as specified for the RAC20-24SA.

Q5: Can engineering selection be based on electrical or mechanical parameter differences?
A5: All substitutes are selected based strictly on matched electrical and mechanical parameters. No deviation is allowable under the provided criteria.
