Equivalent & Substitute Parts for SCW08A-12

Part Overview

The MEAN WELL USA Inc. SCW08A-12 is an active isolated module DC DC converter with a single 12V output, suited for ITE (commercial) applications. It features through hole mounting in a 24-DIP Module, with 8 leads, supporting 8W of output power and up to 670mA output current, plus OCP and SCP protection features. Alternative DC DC converter models are necessary when inventory is limited or to ensure compliance with application-specific requirements, especially when consistent electrical and mechanical specifications must be met.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are evaluated based strictly on identical or compatible parameters including input voltage range, output voltage, number of outputs, maximum output current, output power, isolation voltage, mounting type, package footprint, operating temperature range, and regulatory compliance. Only DC DC converter modules meeting these specific attributes are grouped as suitable substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SCW08A-12 and REC7.5-1212SRW/H1/A/M maintain active product status and meet regulatory requirements including ROHS3 and REACH compliance. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for both, facilitating comparable handling and storage. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are identical, supporting direct trade and logistics compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the substitution criteria for DC DC converter modules?
Substitution is based strictly on identical input voltage range, output voltage, number of outputs, output power, isolation voltage, mounting type, package/case, operating temperature range, and compliance with RoHS and REACH standards.

Q2: Are all mechanical dimensions fully interchangeable?
Both modules use the 24-DIP 8-lead package and have nearly identical footprint and dimensions. Verify mechanical fit per listed length, width, and height parameters.

Q3: Is electrical compatibility assured between SCW08A-12 and REC7.5-1212SRW/H1/A/M?
Both modules provide a single 12V output within a 9V–18V input range, 1kV isolation, and comparable maximum output currents and powers.

Q4: Do both parts comply with standard regulatory and certification requirements?
Both are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8504.40.9580.

Q5: Should application requirements other than those provided be considered for substitution?
Only the parameters listed above determine substitution suitability; no additional technical characteristics are considered.
