Equivalent & Substitute Parts for TML 15205

Part Overview

The TML 15205 is an AC/DC converter from Traco Power, designated for ITE (Commercial) applications. It is a 15 W enclosed AC/DC power supply with dual 5 V, 1.5 A outputs. Its universal input range (90 ~ 264 VAC/85 ~ 370 VDC), compact through-hole mounting, and CE, cURus safety approvals made it suitable for commercial electronics applications. The TML 15205 is now classified as obsolete, making it necessary to identify alternative models to ensure continued design support and procurement availability in existing and new projects.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on compatibility of key operational and compliance parameters. The critical parameters for substitution in the enclosed AC/DC converter category are: input voltage range, number of outputs, output voltage(s), output current, power rating, mounting type, package/case, safety certifications, RoHS/REACH compliance, and application suitability. Only parts with matching or exceeding these parameters and the same mounting and case format are considered in this grouping.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TML 15205 has been designated obsolete, while the TML 20205 is listed as active. Both models are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, and both carry the CE and cURus approvals. The TML 20205 also has CB approval. Use of the TML 20205 aligns with industry compliance and regulatory requirements. The substitute model is available in the same mounting type, case style, and maintains the same critical application and safety approvals relevant for ITE (Commercial) use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters are required for direct substitution of the TML 15205 in a design?
A1: For direct substitution, the parameters that must align include input voltage range, number of outputs, output voltage(s), output current (must meet or exceed original), power, mounting type, package/case, and all required safety and compliance certifications.

Q2: Can the TML 20205 replace the TML 15205 without changes to the PCB?
A2: Both models use a through hole mounting type and 8-DIP Module, 6 Leads package, supporting mechanical compatibility for most applications. Physical dimensions differ slightly and should be verified against PCB layout and mechanical constraints.

Q3: Are there differences in output ratings between TML 15205 and TML 20205 that may affect system performance?
A3: The TML 20205 provides a higher output current (2A vs 1.5A) and power (20 W vs 15 W) at the same output voltage, providing at least equivalent performance for output load requirements.

Q4: Are all compliance certifications maintained with the substitute part?
A4: Both TML 15205 and TML 20205 carry CE and cURus approvals and are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The TML 20205 additionally holds CB approval.

Q5: Is operating temperature range a concern when substituting these models?
A5: The TML 20205 supports a wider maximum operating temperature (-25°C to 70°C with derating) compared to the original (-25°C to 60°C with derating). Ensure system specifications are within this range.

Q6: What details must be checked on the PCB with regard to the substitute model's physical size?
A6: The TML 15205 measures 2.91" L x 2.13" W x 0.87" H; the TML 20205 measures 2.74" L x 1.87" W x 0.85" H. The substitute is slightly smaller, which may affect mounting fit or clearances.
