Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SPRN01L-15 is the direct substitute for the obsolete SPR01L-15. Selection of the SPRN01L-15 is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The SPRN01L-15 holds active product status with MEAN WELL USA Inc., ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The SPR01L-15 is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Electrical Equivalence: The SPRN01L-15 maintains identical output voltage (15V), output current capacity (67mA), and power rating (1W). The minimum input voltage specification increases from 4.5V to 4.75V, which remains compatible with standard 5V supply systems. Isolation voltage is enhanced to 1.5 kV, exceeding the original 1 kV specification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both converters share identical package type (6-SIP Module, 4 Leads), physical dimensions (0.77" L x 0.28" W x 0.40" H), and through-hole mounting configuration, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout modifications.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The SPRN01L-15 includes CE, EAC, and UKCA approvals.

Performance Improvements: The SPRN01L-15 offers enhanced efficiency (71% versus 60%), extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 90°C versus -25°C to 71°C), and higher isolation voltage (1.5 kV versus 1 kV).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SPRN01L-15 directly replace the SPR01L-15 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SPRN01L-15 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the SPR01L-15. Both converters use identical 6-SIP Module, 4-lead packages with matching physical dimensions and through-hole mounting. Electrical specifications are equivalent or superior across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference in input voltage range between these parts?

A: The SPR01L-15 accepts input voltage from 4.5V to 5.5V. The SPRN01L-15 accepts input voltage from 4.75V to 5.5V. Both specifications are compatible with standard 5V supply systems. The SPRN01L-15 has a narrower minimum input specification but maintains the same maximum input voltage.

Q: Are there any temperature operating range differences?

A: Yes. The SPR01L-15 operates from -25°C to 71°C. The SPRN01L-15 operates from -40°C to 90°C. The SPRN01L-15 provides an extended operating temperature range suitable for wider environmental conditions.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both the SPR01L-15 and SPRN01L-15 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both share identical HTSUS classification (8504.40.9580). The SPRN01L-15 additionally carries CE, EAC, and UKCA approvals.

Q: What is the isolation voltage specification for each part?

A: The SPR01L-15 provides 1 kV isolation. The SPRN01L-15 provides 1.5 kV isolation. Both meet or exceed typical isolation requirements for commercial ITE applications.

Q: Is the SPRN01L-15 currently available?

A: Yes. The SPRN01L-15 is classified as an active product with current inventory availability. The SPR01L-15 is obsolete and subject to limited availability.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both converters measure 0.77" L x 0.28" W x 0.40" H (19.6mm x 7.1mm x 10.1mm) and use identical 6-SIP Module, 4-lead packages. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the efficiency difference between these converters?

A: The SPR01L-15 operates at 60% efficiency. The SPRN01L-15 operates at 71% efficiency. The improved efficiency of the SPRN01L-15 reduces thermal dissipation and power consumption in the application circuit.
