Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by the following parameters: output voltage (3.3V), output current equal to or greater than 4A, single output, input voltage range (9V–18V), power rating at least 13W, isolation voltage equal to or greater than 1.5kV, compatible operating temperature range, through-hole mounting, 6-DIP module package with matching or compatible dimensions, RoHS compliance, and ITE (Commercial) applications. Only substitute parts matching all these criteria are considered appropriate for direct replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria must substitute DC-DC converters meet for the TEN 20-1210?
A1: Substitute models must match output voltage, support equal or greater output current, have a compatible input voltage range, output at least the same power, match isolation voltage, adhere to through-hole mounting in a 6-DIP module, maintain package dimensions, comply with ROHS3, and be suitable for ITE (Commercial) uses.

Q2: Are the mechanical footprints of TEN 20-1210 and JCK2012S3V3 compatible?
A2: Both parts specify the same mechanical package type (6-DIP module) and identical dimensions (2.00" L x 1.00" W x 0.40" H).

Q3: Is it acceptable to substitute a higher power part for a lower power one?
A3: Substitution is allowed provided all other parameters (output voltage, current, input range, isolation voltage, package) match and the device is ROHS3 compliant.

Q4: Why is product status important in substitute selection?
A4: Product status indicates suitability for new designs and ongoing support. "Not For New Designs" signals potential availability or lifecycle limitations.

Q5: Are both TEN 20-1210 and JCK2012S3V3 suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications?
A5: Both parts are specified for ITE (Commercial) use.
