RTD-1512 Equivalent & Substitute DC DC Converter Reference

Part Overview

The Recom Power RTD-1512 is an isolated DC DC converter module, providing dual outputs of +12V and -12V at up to 83mA each with 2W total power output. Designed for ITE (Commercial) applications, it features surface mount packaging, wide operating temperature, and 1kV isolation. As the RTD-1512 series is currently classified as obsolete, it is essential to identify equivalent or substitute models to ensure continued support for legacy designs and maintain supply continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RTD-1512 substitution grouping is determined by strict equivalence of key electrical and mechanical parameters. These include input voltage range, output voltages and currents, power rating, isolation voltage, efficiency, number of outputs, mounting type, physical dimensions or package style, operating temperature, RoHS and REACH compliance, and application category. Only parts matching these criteria are considered as direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RTD-1512 is obsolete, while the substitute R2D-1512 is active, inventory available, and matches the RTD-1512 in electrical and mechanical specifications, including RoHS3 and REACH compliance, MSL classification, and export codes. Substitution should be considered when continued compliance and supply chain security are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria are used for determining suitable substitutes for the RTD-1512 DC DC converter?
A1: Substitution is based on equivalent input and output voltage ranges, output current rating, power, isolation voltage, package/type, mounting style, number of outputs, operating temperature, regulatory compliance, and application class.

Q2: Are there any significant differences in physical or mounting compatibility between RTD-1512 and R2D-1512?
A2: Both parts use the 10-SMD Module, 6 Leads package and have comparable dimensions, with minor variations in width that fall within common footprint tolerances for surface mount designs.

Q3: Is there any difference in environmental or regulatory compliance?
A3: Both RTD-1512 and R2D-1512 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under MSL 1 (Unlimited), ensuring compatibility in regulated applications.

Q4: Does the substitute R2D-1512 offer an extended operating temperature range?
A4: R2D-1512 offers a wider operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C compared to RTD-1512's -40°C to 85°C.

Q5: Is any modification required to the PCB footprint to use R2D-1512 as a substitute?
A5: Both parts utilize the same package designation (10-SMD Module, 6 Leads). Only the width changes from 9.3mm to 10.7mm; confirm clearances in assembly if width is critical.
