Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference for RSS-1512/H DC-DC Converter

Part Overview

The Recom Power RSS-1512/H is an isolated DC-DC converter module designed for ITE (Commercial) and Medical applications. It supports single output operation at 12V, a maximum output current of 84mA, and accepts input voltages ranging from 13.5V to 16.5V. The device offers 3 kV isolation and short circuit protection (SCP), is surface-mountable in an 8-SMD module, and achieves 80% efficiency. The part is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with a moisture sensitivity level of 1 (unlimited). Given its product status as "Obsolete," it is necessary to identify suitable equivalent or substitute models with matching electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters for continued system support and direct replacement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by matching the following parameters: input voltage range, output voltage, maximum output current, total output power, isolation voltage, operating temperature, efficiency, number of outputs, mounting type, footprint, compliance status, and moisture sensitivity level. Only parts matching these parameters without deviation are included as direct substitutes.

The following substitute part, R1S-1512/H, aligns with RSS-1512/H on these key parameters for DC-DC converter modules.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For DC-DC converter modules, maintain compliance with key safety and environmental standards. Select only active or in-stock substitute parts with matching RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected statuses. Ensuring the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) guarantees process compatibility. Use only substitutes meeting all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters are mandatory for direct substitution of DC-DC converter modules?
A1: Parameters required for direct substitution include series, type, number of outputs, input voltage range, output voltage, maximum output current, total power, isolation voltage, operating temperature range, efficiency, mounting type, package, size/dimensions, RoHS status, REACH status, and MSL.

Q2: Can the R1S-1512/H directly replace RSS-1512/H in existing footprints?
A2: Both parts use an 8-SMD module, 5 leads configuration, but dimensional differences exist. Verify the size compatibility: RSS-1512/H is 0.50" x 0.32" x 0.29", while R1S-1512/H is 0.50" x 0.42" x 0.28".

Q3: Are compliance and certifications maintained with the substitute part?
A3: Both RSS-1512/H and R1S-1512/H are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q4: Is there any change to electrical performance with the substitute?
A4: The substitute matches all specified electrical parameters including input and output voltage, current, power, isolation voltage, efficiency, and operating temperature range (the substitute covers a wider range).

Q5: What categories are supported for application with these modules?
A5: Both modules are suitable for ITE (Commercial) and Medical applications per the supplier's definition.
