Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is restricted to models from the same manufacturer and category that match the key electrical and mechanical parameters. These parameters include input voltage range, output voltage, output current capacity, output power rating, number of outputs, mounting type, package or case, operating temperature, regulatory approvals, RoHS compliance, Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), and REACH status. Substitute parts must provide functionally equivalent or higher performance per these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of RACM40-15SK-T is supported by its active product status, RoHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status. The approval agencies for RACM40-15SK-T include CE, CSA, cURus, and EAC. The product provides a compatible output voltage, an equal or greater current and power rating, and maintains the same mounting method. The selection can be executed strictly on the basis of these provided parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the core substitution criteria for AC/DC converters in this category?
A1: Substitution requires match or exceedance of input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, number of outputs, mounting type, package or case, operating temperature range, regulatory approvals, RoHS compliance, MSL, and REACH status.

Q2: Are there any compatibility concerns with package and mounting type for these models?
A2: Both RAC30-15SA and RACM40-15SK-T utilize through-hole mounting. The package differs (7-DIP module, 5 leads vs. 6-DIP module), which must be considered for mechanical layout compatibility.

Q3: Does RACM40-15SK-T comply with environmental regulations?
A3: RACM40-15SK-T is ROHS3 compliant and its REACH status is unaffected, matching the compliance status of RAC30-15SA.

Q4: Can the substitute part support the same electrical requirements in existing designs?
A4: RACM40-15SK-T provides a 15V output and supports a current output of 2.667A, which exceeds the requirements of RAC30-15SA.

Q5: What approval agencies apply to both parts?
A5: Both parts have CE approval. RACM40-15SK-T also features CSA, cURus, and EAC approvals, whereas RAC30-15SA is listed with CE and cULus approvals only.
