RZ-1215S/P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RZ-1215S/P is an isolated module DC-DC converter from Recom Power's ECONOLINE RZ series, rated for 500 mW output power. This component converts input voltages between 11.4V and 12.6V to a fixed 15V output at 33 mA maximum current, with 1 kV isolation. The device is designed for ITE (Commercial) applications and features short-circuit protection (SCP).

The RZ-1215S/P is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this converter.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RZ-1215S/P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Input voltage specification: 11.4V – 12.6V (fixed range, non-negotiable)
• Output voltage: 15V (fixed output, non-negotiable)
• Output current capacity: 33 mA minimum required
• Power rating: 500 mW minimum
• Isolation voltage: 1 kV minimum
• Mounting technology: Surface mount configuration
• Package form factor: 10-SMD Module, 6 Leads
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The R0.5Z-1215/P qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical parameters and package specifications. Both devices operate from identical input and output voltage ranges, deliver equivalent power capacity, and maintain the same isolation rating and mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the R0.5Z-1215/P replace the RZ-1215S/P in existing designs?

A: Yes. The R0.5Z-1215/P is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RZ-1215S/P. Both devices operate from 11.4V – 12.6V input, deliver 15V at 33 mA output, and maintain 1 kV isolation. The package form factor, mounting type, and pin configuration are identical. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the RZ-1215S/P and R0.5Z-1215/P?

A: The primary differences are product status and operating temperature range. The RZ-1215S/P is obsolete, while the R0.5Z-1215/P is active. The R0.5Z-1215/P operates to 100°C maximum, compared to 70°C for the RZ-1215S/P. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any pin configuration differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the RZ-1215S/P and R0.5Z-1215/P use the same 10-SMD Module, 6 Leads package configuration. Pin assignments and lead spacing are identical, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the R0.5Z-1215/P affect performance in standard applications?

A: No. The extended maximum operating temperature of 100°C on the R0.5Z-1215/P does not degrade performance in applications operating within the original 70°C specification. The substitute part maintains all electrical characteristics and efficiency ratings across the full operating range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RZ-1215S/P and R0.5Z-1215/P are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the significance of the R0.5Z-1215/P being an active product?

A: Active product status indicates ongoing manufacturer support, continued availability, and compliance with current regulatory standards. The RZ-1215S/P, being obsolete, may face supply constraints and reduced manufacturer support. Selection of the active R0.5Z-1215/P ensures supply chain continuity.
