Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: SCW03A-15

Part Overview

The SCW03A-15 by MEAN WELL USA Inc. is an isolated module DC-DC converter with a single 15V/200mA output, 3W power rating, 9V–18V input voltage range, and 1kV isolation. The product is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute models is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and address lifecycle management where direct replacements with matching electrical and mechanical specifications are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped according to strict compliance with the following key parameters: number of outputs, output voltage and current, input voltage range, isolation voltage, power rating, mounting type, package, and regulatory compliance (RoHS, MSL, REACH). Only parts meeting or exceeding these specifications are included as direct equivalents. No parameters beyond those provided are considered.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring a direct replacement of SCW03A-15, select substitute models that maintain active product status, equivalent compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected), and matching package and output characteristics. Obsolescence status of SCW03A-15 necessitates use of substitute models in new designs and maintenance programs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria determine a compatible substitute for SCW03A-15?
A1: Compatibility is established by matching the number of outputs, output voltage and current, input voltage range, isolation voltage, power rating, mounting type, package format, and regulatory compliance.

Q2: Are all substitutes provided in the same 24-DIP Module, 8 Leads package as SCW03A-15?
A2: Yes, all listed substitute parts utilize the 24-DIP Module, 8 Leads package to maintain mechanical compatibility.

Q3: Does isolation voltage variation affect substitution?
A3: Substitute parts with equal or greater isolation voltage than SCW03A-15 are permitted according to the provided parameters.

Q4: Are all substitute parts compliant with ROHS and REACH regulations?
A4: Yes, each substitute model is listed as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q5: Is there any difference in mounting type among the substitute options?
A5: No, all models specified use through-hole mounting for full mechanical interchangeability.

Q6: What should be checked regarding input voltage range?
A6: Substitute selection is limited to parts covering or overlapping the main part’s 9V–18V input range as per provided details.

Q7: How does the product status affect substitute selection?
A7: Selection is prioritized to parts with active product status to ensure ongoing availability and support for future procurement.
