Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on equivalence in electrical and mechanical parameters provided for these AC/DC converter modules. Key parameters determining suitability include:

  • Input voltage range
  • Output voltage and current
  • Power rating (Watts)
  • Efficiency
  • Application suitability (Medical)
  • Features (Universal input)
  • Mounting type and package/case
  • Operating temperature range
  • Agency approvals and safety standard number
  • Line and load regulation
  • Physical size and weight
  • Environmental compliance (RoHS, REACH)

Only parts matching these criteria as presented are grouped as substitutes.
