Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching the following core parameters: input voltage range (9V–18V), output voltage (12V), output current (1.67A), power rating (20W), isolation voltage (≥1.5kV), operating temperature range, efficiency, mounting type (through-hole), mechanical package (6-DIP Module, 2.00" x 1.00" x 0.40"), RoHS status, and compliance fields. Only parts matching these values are considered equivalent and suitable for direct replacement in designs initially specified for TEN 20-1212.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TEN 20-1212 is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it is not recommended for new commercial applications. JCK2012S12 is "Active" and matches required RoHS3 compliance, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS code. Both models adhere to ITE (Commercial) application requirements and are supplied in through-hole 6-DIP module packages with matching mechanical dimensions and power specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical substitution criteria for the TEN 20-1212 DC-DC converter?
A: Substitution requires matching input voltage range, output voltage and current, output power, isolation voltage, operating temperature, mounting type, package, compliance (RoHS status), and application category.

Q: Are the two modules compatible in terms of mechanical footprint and mounting?
A: Both TEN 20-1212 and JCK2012S12 utilize a 6-DIP module through-hole footprint with identical dimensions (2.00" x 1.00" x 0.40").

Q: Do substitute parts meet current regulatory requirements?
A: Both listed models are ROHS3 compliant, have ECCN EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code.

Q: Is there any difference in efficiency between the TEN 20-1212 and JCK2012S12?
A: The JCK2012S12 provides 90% efficiency compared to 88% for the TEN 20-1212. Both meet the minimum specification required for substitution.

Q: Can substitute parts be used in the same ITE (Commercial) applications?
A: Yes, both DC-DC converter modules are suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications as indicated by their respective application fields.
