WD201 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference Page

Part Overview

The XP Power WD201 is an isolated module DC-DC converter designed for commercial ITE applications, providing a single 5V output at up to 3A from an 18V–36V input. With a power rating of 15W and through-hole mounting in a 5-DIP module package, WD201 enables efficient power conversion with an isolation voltage of 500V and essential features such as short circuit protection (SCP). As the WD201 is marked "Obsolete," identifying substitute models is necessary for ongoing design support or direct replacement in existing assemblies.
