Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by matching or compatible parameters relevant to electrical function and mechanical integration. Key factors include:

• Output voltage and maximum output power capability
• Input voltage range
• Mounting type and mechanical form factor
• Application category (ITE Commercial)
• Relevant certifications and compliance
• Regulatory status (RoHS, ECCN, HTSUS) Only parts that fully adhere to the defined electrical and mechanical envelope are considered suitable substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection is primarily based on product status, regulatory compliance, and certifications. The VOF-15-5 is obsolete, and VOF-15B-S5 (CUI Inc.) is active, supports RoHS3 compliance, and lists relevant certifications. These criteria align with requirements for continued design-in or maintenance where regulatory adherence and ongoing supply are necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key parameters when selecting a substitute for VOF-15-5?
A1: The decisive parameters are electrical (input voltage range, output voltage, maximum current, power rating), mechanical format (package, size, mounting type), application compatibility, regulatory certifications, and compliance.

Q2: Does the VOF-15B-S5 output the same voltage and power as VOF-15-5?
A2: Yes, both provide a 5V output at up to 15W total power. The maximum output current of VOF-15B-S5 is 2.8A compared to 3A for VOF-15-5.

Q3: Are the mounting type and case compatible between VOF-15-5 and VOF-15B-S5?
A3: Yes, both use through hole mounting in a 4-DIP module format. Physical dimensions should be referenced in the parameter comparison table.

Q4: Which certifications and compliance statuses are shared by both models?
A4: Both carry CB Scheme, EN, IEC, and UL certifications, with similar EMC and safety standards, and both are RoHS compliant.

Q5: Are there differences in efficiency and operating temperature between the two parts?
A5: VOF-15B-S5 has higher efficiency and a wider specified operating temperature range according to the input parameters.

Q6: What inventory status makes it necessary to pursue substitutes?
A6: The VOF-15-5 is classified as Obsolete, making ongoing sourcing problematic and necessitating substitution. VOF-15B-S5 is listed as Active.
