Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutes for the SPA02C-12 are determined strictly by matching or exceeding the following parameters: number of outputs, input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, efficiency, package/case, mounting type, compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH), and application suitability as specified. Only parts meeting or exceeding these criteria are listed.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Based strictly on product status and provided compliance fields, SPA02C-12 is classified as obsolete. Both SPAN02C-12 and RS-4812S/H3 are listed as active and possess ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. All parts are MSL 1 (Unlimited). Only parts marked as active and compliant per these criteria should be selected to maintain supply continuity and regulatory adherence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What defines a suitable substitute for the SPA02C-12?
A1: A suitable substitute must match or exceed all key electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters provided: same number of outputs, input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, application suitability, mounting type, package/case, and compliance certifications.

Q2: Are the physical dimensions and mounting of the substitutes compatible?
A2: All listed substitutes utilize the 8-SIP Module, 7 Leads package and possess identical physical dimensions, ensuring compatibility in layout and mechanical fit.

Q3: Do substitute models maintain the same safety and environmental certifications?
A3: All models are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and have MSL 1 (Unlimited); there are no variances in compliance status among listed options.

Q4: Does the higher isolation voltage in substitutes affect compatibility?
A4: Substitutes with higher isolation voltage than the original maintain compatibility for applications requiring at least the main part’s isolation level.

Q5: Why is substitution necessary for the SPA02C-12?
A5: Substitution is required because the SPA02C-12 is obsolete, and active alternatives are needed for guaranteed long-term supply and ongoing compliance.
