Engineering Selection Recommendations

  • The Traco Power TEN 15-4821 is classified as "Not For New Designs," making identification of compatible, active replacements mandatory for continued engineering support.
  • Both XP Power JCK1548D05 and JTH1548D05 substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, satisfying lead-free and environmental directives.
  • All compared models share suitable certifications such as ECCN: EAR99 and ITE (Commercial) application classification.
  • Verify package compatibility, as JCK1548D05 uses 5-DIP Module packaging, matching the main part exactly, while JTH1548D05 applies a 6-DIP Module format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the main criteria for selecting a substitute for Traco Power TEN 15-4821?
A1: Substitute selection is based on matching or exceeding input/output voltage range, output current, power, isolation voltage, features, efficiency, through-hole mounting, package dimensions, number of outputs, compliance status, and application class.

Q2: Are there packaging differences among the listed substitutes?
A2: The XP Power JCK1548D05 uses the same 5-DIP Module package as TEN 15-4821, while the JTH1548D05 uses a 6-DIP Module package with the same exterior dimensions.

Q3: Are all substitute models compatible with ROHS3 requirements?
A3: Yes, all substitutes listed are ROHS3 Compliant.

Q4: What is the impact of input voltage range when substituting?
A4: Input voltage range must fully encompass the 36V to 75V specification of the TEN 15-4821 to ensure compatibility.

Q5: Does the isolation voltage differ between TEN 15-4821 and substitutes?
A5: TEN 15-4821 has 1.6 kV isolation; both listed XP Power substitutes provide 1.5 kV isolation, which is a closely-matched parameter.

Q6: Are there feature set differences between the models?
A6: TEN 15-4821 provides OCP, OVP, and SCP. JCK1548D05 provides OCP, SCP, and UVLO. JTH1548D05 offers OCP, OVP, SCP, and UVLO. Feature comparison should be reviewed for critical application requirements.

Q7: Can both substitutes be used with the same PCB footprint?
A7: JCK1548D05 matches the 5-DIP Module package type and footprint; JTH1548D05 uses a 6-DIP Module package with the same exterior dimensions, but pin compatibility should be checked against PCB layout.
