VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP by CUI Inc. is an obsolete isolated module DC-DC converter with dual outputs (+12V, -12V) and a 2W power rating. With a 4.5V–5.5V input range, 84mA output current on both channels, and 6kV isolation, it is used in ITE (Commercial) applications. As this product status is obsolete, it is necessary to identify alternative models with matching electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters to maintain system compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is governed strictly by the following allowed parameters: number of outputs, input voltage range, output voltages and currents, total power rating, isolation voltage, features, operating temperature, mounting type, mechanical package, and applicable approvals. Only devices matching these criteria are considered valid substitute parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part, VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP, is obsolete. The substitute part RV-0512D from Recom Power is currently active and matches the core technical parameters, including input voltage range, output configuration, isolation, power rating, package, and mounting type. Relevant certifications such as RoHS3 compliance and MSL are provided for the substitute part, supporting standardized component selection in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria were used to select substitute parts for VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP?
A1: Substitute parts are selected based on matching number of outputs, input voltage range, output voltages, output currents, power rating, isolation voltage, operating temperature, mounting type, mechanical package size, and relevant compliance approvals.

Q2: Is the package and footprint identical between VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP and RV-0512D?
A2: Both parts use a 24-DIP module with 14 leads, supporting direct PCB replacement provided the dimensional differences are acceptable for the system.

Q3: Does the substitute RV-0512D meet the same isolation and safety requirements?
A3: RV-0512D offers 6 kV isolation and includes short circuit protection (SCP), matching the key isolation and protection requirements of VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP.

Q4: Are there differences in efficiency between VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP and RV-0512D?
A4: Efficiency differs (80% for VGDS2-S5-D12-DIP, 75% for RV-0512D). All other critical substitution parameters are maintained.

Q5: What is the significance of the product status and compliance fields in selecting a substitute?
A5: Product status indicates market availability (obsolete vs active). Compliance fields confirm conformity to RoHS/REACH and MSL, which are necessary for regulated manufacturing environments.
