Equivalent & Substitute Parts for SPA02A-12

Part Overview

The MEAN WELL USA Inc. SPA02A-12 is an Isolated Module DC DC Converter, providing a single 12V output at up to 167mA (2W) from a 9V–18V input, in a through-hole 8-SIP (7 leads) package. It features 1 kV isolation, remote on/off, overcurrent protection (OCP), and short circuit protection (SCP). The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating the identification of alternative models to maintain supply continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for SPA02A-12 are identified strictly according to explicit parameter matching within the isolated DC DC converter category. The primary criteria include: number of outputs, input voltage range, output voltage, maximum output current, power rating, voltage isolation, efficiency, operating temperature, package, mounting type, feature set, environmental compliance, and regulatory status. Only parts matching all these parameters or listed directly as substitutes are included.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of a substitute for SPA02A-12 should consider product status and environmental compliance. SPA02A-12 is obsolete; SPAN02A-12 is a direct substitute from the same manufacturer with matching parameters and compliance. RS-0512S/H3 from Recom Power is an active product with similar electrical and mechanical properties, ROHS3 compliance, and unrestricted MSL for inventory management. Both substitutes are suited for applications where compliance with ROHS3, REACH, ECCN EAR99, and the SIP-8 footprint is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What determines if a DC DC converter can be directly substituted for SPA02A-12?
A: Substitution is determined by matching key parameters: number of outputs, output voltage and current, input voltage range, isolation voltage, physical package, mounting method, efficiency, and environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q2: Are there any concerns about package or mounting compatibility between these models?
A: All compared parts use the 8-SIP Module, 7 Leads through-hole package, with identical dimensions, supporting mechanical compatibility.

Q3: What are the environmental compliance statuses for the substitute parts?
A: SPA02A-12, SPAN02A-12, and RS-0512S/H3 are all ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q4: Can the RS-0512S/H3 be used in the same applications as SPA02A-12?
A: RS-0512S/H3 shares the same primary application category: ITE (Commercial) and offers matching electrical performance, efficiency, and environmental compliance as outlined in the provided parameters.

Q5: Which substitute should be selected based on product status?
A: SPAN02A-12 is the direct substitute if availability allows. RS-0512S/H3 is an active product with similar characteristics and present inventory, making it an alternative if direct substitutes are not available.
