Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Recom Power R1S-0512/H is suitable as a direct substitute for RSS-0512/H due to matching electrical specifications, isolation voltage, mounting configuration, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH, ECCN). The R1S-0512/H is active in the manufacturer's portfolio, while RSS-0512/H is obsolete, ensuring continued availability and up-to-date compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters are required for substitution of the RSS-0512/H?
A1: Substitution requires identical input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, voltage isolation, package type, mounting type, and compliance certifications as explicitly listed.

Q2: Are the package sizes and mounting types compatible?
A2: Both RSS-0512/H and R1S-0512/H use surface mount 8-SMD Module, 5 Leads packaging.

Q3: Is thermal performance equivalent between these parts?
A3: Both parts support a minimum operating temperature of -40°C, with R1S-0512/H supporting a higher maximum of +100°C compared to +85°C for RSS-0512/H.
