Procurement Notes

This product is officially discontinued and no longer manufactured by Bourns Inc. due to lack of sales volume and diminishing demand. Procurement must focus on identifying verified surplus stock from authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Buyers should verify the authenticity and storage history of available units carefully, as original production has ceased permanently.

Selection Notes

Engineers requiring this specific transformer must address its obsolete status during the selection phase. Alternative solutions involve selecting compatible replacement components that match the required electrical specifications, such as the 6 W power rating and 132 Ohm DC resistance. Design modifications may be necessary to accommodate different form factors or interface requirements of modern substitute parts.

Part Context

The PM61300-1-RC belongs to the Bourns PM61300 Series of SMD CCFL transformers. This series was engineered to provide reliable performance for cold cathode fluorescent lamp applications in various electronic products. The discontinuation of this series reflects broader industry shifts away from CCFL technology toward LED-based illumination solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the available documentation. Users should consult official Bourns resources or distributor catalogs for current equivalents.
