Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutes are grouped strictly according to matching key parameters necessary for interchangeability in DC-DC converter applications. Only parts classified as Isolated Module DC-DC converters with identical input and output specifications, current handling, output power, mounting method, and package/case type are considered. Additional criteria include compliance status (RoHS, REACH), product activity, and protective features as directly specified. Parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

• Input voltage range (4.5V – 9V)
• Output voltage and current (15V, 200mA)
• Power rating (3 W)
• Isolation voltage
• Package type and dimensions
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Product status (Active)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SCWN03E-15 and REC3-0515SRW/H4/A are active DC-DC converter modules, through-hole mount, and ROHS3 compliant with identical input and output specifications. Both parts have unlimited Moisture Sensitivity Level and are REACH Unaffected. ECCN and HTSUS classifications match. Based strictly on product status and compliance, either part is suitable for designs requiring these regulatory certifications and inventory stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary substitution criterion for SCWN03E-15 and REC3-0515SRW/H4/A?
A1: The substitution is based on identical electrical parameters (input voltage range, output voltage/current, power rating), package type (24-DIP Module, 8 Leads), mounting method, compliance (RoHS, REACH), and active product status.

Q2: Are the mechanical dimensions of SCWN03E-15 and REC3-0515SRW/H4/A equivalent for PCB mounting?
A2: Both parts are through-hole mounted in 24-DIP Module, 8 Leads packages with nearly matching dimensions, enabling consistent footprint compatibility.

Q3: How do compliance statuses affect interchangeability?
A3: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, with MSL 1 (Unlimited), meeting standard regulatory requirements for commercial ITE applications.

Q4: Are the protection features fully identical between the two parts?
A4: SCWN03E-15 includes OCP, SCP, and UVLO. REC3-0515SRW/H4/A specifies SCP. Only the features explicitly listed in the provided input are compared.

Q5: Is there any difference in isolation voltage between the substitutes?
A5: REC3-0515SRW/H4/A lists a 4 kV isolation; SCWN03E-15 lists 3 kV, as stated in the parameters.

Q6: Can the substitute be used in all applications specified by the main part?
A6: Both are listed for ITE (Commercial). Applications must correspond strictly to those provided in the input parameters.
