Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference for SPB03E-15

Part Overview

The SPB03E-15 is an isolated module DC-DC converter manufactured by MEAN WELL USA Inc., specified to deliver a single 15V output at up to 200mA from a 4.5V to 9V input. The device is supplied in an 8-SIP module with 7 leads, optimized for ITE (Commercial) applications and through hole mounting. As the product status is marked "Obsolete," identifying suitable alternatives is necessary for new designs, repair, and ongoing production to ensure supported inventory, compliance, and form-factor continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is performed by matching all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. The grouping is strictly based on: output voltage and current, input voltage range, isolation voltage, package type, module size, mounting method, number of outputs, and regulatory status (RoHS, REACH, ECCN, MSL). No parameters beyond those explicitly provided have been considered.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SPB03E-15 is currently obsolete, necessitating substitution for ongoing and future requirements. The RS3-0515S is classified as active and matches all specified compliance and certifications, including ROHS3, REACH unaffected status, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS code, and moisture sensitivity. Selection should consider compliance status and product availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the key parameters for substituting SPB03E-15?
A: Substitution is strictly based on output voltage and current, input voltage range, isolation voltage, mechanical form factor, mounting type, compliance certifications, and application suitability.

Q: Is RS3-0515S pin compatible with SPB03E-15?
A: Both components utilize the 8-SIP Module, 7-Leads package with identical mechanical dimensions and through-hole mounting.

Q: Are there differences in features that may affect substitution?
A: Provided features are Remote On/Off and SCP. SPB03E-15 lists OCP; RS3-0515S does not. Substitution should be based only on listed parameters.

Q: Does RS3-0515S support the same operating temperature range?
A: RS3-0515S is specified for -40°C ~ 71°C; SPB03E-15 for -40°C ~ 85°C (with derating).

Q: Are both modules compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
A: Both modules are specified as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: Can RS3-0515S be used in the same commercial ITE applications?
A: Both components are described for ITE (Commercial) applications.

Q: Do both modules feature remote on/off and active low enable control?
A: Yes, both list Remote On/Off and Enable, Active Low as control features.

Q: Is there a difference in efficiency?
A: RS3-0515S is specified at 81% efficiency; SPB03E-15 at 75%.
