Equivalent & Substitute Parts for RAC30-12SA

Part Overview

The RAC30-12SA is an enclosed AC/DC power converter from Recom Power, designed to supply a single regulated 12V output at up to 2.5A with a maximum power rating of 30W. It features universal input (90 ~ 264 VAC), through hole mounting, and is certified to CE and cULus standards. The RAC30-12SA is now classified as obsolete. When obsolete or discontinued, it becomes necessary to identify alternatives with matching key electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part is selected based on strict equivalence in the following key parameters: number of outputs, output voltage, input voltage range, output current capacity equal to or exceeding the original, enclosed construction, mounting type, compliance certifications, and regulatory status. The substitute must provide the same 12V output and be compatible with similar mechanical footprints and electrical operating ranges, with appropriate certifications. Only parameters explicitly provided are considered in establishing substitute relationships.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAC30-12SA is obsolete. The RACM40-12SK-T matches the required operational output of 12V and exceeds the original output current and power. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected and offer through hole mounting. The substitute has expanded regulatory approvals (CE, CSA, cURus, EAC) compared to the original (CE, cULus). Product status of RACM40-12SK-T is active, supporting supply continuity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the main factors for choosing a substitute for RAC30-12SA?
A1: The primary substitution criteria are single 12V output, equal or higher output current, compatible input voltage range, enclosed construction, through hole mounting, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Q2: Is the mechanical package of RACM40-12SK-T identical to RAC30-12SA?
A2: Both models are enclosed and intended for through hole mounting, with module format, but package dimensions and lead arrangements must be cross-checked for mechanical fit as differences may exist between the 7-DIP Module, 5 Leads and 6-DIP Module packages.

Q3: Are all approvals and compliance certifications covered by the substitute?
A3: The RACM40-12SK-T includes CE and additional certifications (CSA, cURus, EAC), while RAC30-12SA lists CE and cULus. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q4: Can RACM40-12SK-T be used in ITE (Commercial) applications?
A4: The substitute is specified as a medical/ITE AC/DC converter, and input/output parameters are compatible with commercial use, as per provided data.

Q5: How does power and efficiency compare between the two models?
A5: RACM40-12SK-T provides higher output power (40W vs. 30W) and increased efficiency (90% vs. 82%) compared to the RAC30-12SA.
