Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for RSS-0512/P are determined strictly by matching the following parameters: input voltage range (4.5V–5.5V), output voltage (12V), maximum output current (84mA), power rating (1W), isolation voltage (1kV), number of outputs (1), mounting type (surface mount), package/case (8-SMD Module, 5 Leads), key certifications (ROHS3, REACH), MSL, efficiency, and supported ambient operating temperature ranges. Compatibility in physical dimensions is also considered to ensure direct substitution in existing designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

In selecting substitutes for the RSS-0512/P DC-DC converter, preference is given to active status parts to ensure continuity in supply and support. Both RSS-0512/P and R1S-0512/P are ROHS3 compliant and have an unlimited Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), with REACH unaffected status and shared ECCN/HTSUS designations. The substitute R1S-0512/P matches the electrical and mechanical parameters of the RSS-0512/P and is an active product, making it suitable for direct replacement from an engineering standpoint based on the provided parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which key parameters must match for direct substitution in this DC-DC converter category?
Input voltage range, output voltage and current, isolation voltage, number of outputs, power rating, mounting type, package/case, MSL, efficiency, and compliance certifications.

How do package differences affect compatibility between RSS-0512/P and R1S-0512/P?
Both are 8-SMD modules with 5 leads and similar overall dimensions. Verification of board layout for width and height tolerances is necessary to confirm mechanical fit.

Does the operating temperature range impact substitution?
The substitute R1S-0512/P has a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C vs. -40°C to 85°C), which encompasses the range of the obsolete RSS-0512/P for compatibility.

Are the certifications and compliance statuses equivalent for the substitute part?
Both RSS-0512/P and R1S-0512/P are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and share the same ECCN and HTSUS codes for regulatory alignment.

Is the pinout identical between RSS-0512/P and R1S-0512/P?
Both modules utilize the 8-SMD, 5-lead footprint. Only provided pinout or mechanical data can confirm direct footprint compatibility.
