Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and no longer manufactured by Bourns Inc. Sourcing new units is not possible through standard channels. Procurement efforts should focus on verifying the authenticity of existing surplus stock from authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers, ensuring documentation confirms the obsolete status to avoid counterfeit risks.

Selection Notes

Due to the discontinuation of the PM61300 series, direct replacement selection requires identifying equivalent CCFL transformers with matching electrical parameters such as 27uH inductance and compatible package dimensions. Designers must evaluate alternative components that meet the specific voltage and current requirements of the target application while ensuring availability from active manufacturers.

Part Context

The PM61300-3-RC belongs to the Bourns PM61300 series of SMD CCFL transformers. This series was specifically engineered for surface mount technology integration in display backlighting applications. The product line has been phased out due to declining demand and sales volume, reflecting industry shifts away from CCFL technology.

Replacement Considerations
