SM-ODC5F DC Output Module Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SM-ODC5F is a DC output module manufactured by Sensata-Crydom, designed to provide isolated DC switching control with 3A output capacity. This module accepts a 5VDC input signal and delivers output switching across a 3–60VDC range. The SM-ODC5F is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SM-ODC5F is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Input voltage specification: 5VDC
• Input current requirement: 18 mA
• Output voltage range: 3–60VDC
• Output current capacity: 3A
• Package style: Mini form factor
• Functional classification: DC Output Module

The ODCM-5 manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays satisfies all substitution criteria. Both modules share identical input/output voltage and current specifications, equivalent mini-style packaging, and the same functional purpose as isolated DC switching modules.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ODCM-5 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete SM-ODC5F. Selection of the ODCM-5 is supported by the following factors:

• Identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: input voltage, input current, output voltage range, and output current capacity
• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH affected status indicate current regulatory alignment
• Mini-style packaging maintains form factor compatibility with existing designs
• Switching time differences (ODCM-5 exhibits longer turn-on and turn-off times) are acceptable for applications where the SM-ODC5F was previously deployed, as these represent performance margins rather than functional incompatibilities

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ODCM-5 directly replace the SM-ODC5F in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both modules share identical input voltage (5VDC), input current (18 mA), output voltage range (3–60VDC), and output current capacity (3A). The mini-style packaging is equivalent. The ODCM-5 is suitable for direct substitution in applications previously using the SM-ODC5F.

Q: What are the differences in switching performance between these modules?

A: The SM-ODC5F exhibits faster switching times: turn-on of 0.025 ms versus 0.10 ms for the ODCM-5, and turn-off of 0.05 ms versus 0.75 ms for the ODCM-5. For most industrial control applications, the ODCM-5 switching performance is acceptable. Applications requiring the faster response of the SM-ODC5F should be evaluated individually.

Q: Why is the SM-ODC5F listed as obsolete?

A: The SM-ODC5F has been discontinued by Sensata-Crydom. The ODCM-5 remains in active production by TE Connectivity and provides equivalent functionality for new designs and legacy system support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these modules?

A: The ODCM-5 is supplied in tray packaging. Both modules maintain the mini-style form factor. Packaging format should be confirmed against procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the ODCM-5?

A: The ODCM-5 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected. The SM-ODC5F is REACH unaffected. Regulatory requirements for the target application should be verified before final component selection.
