#1. Competitor Product Overview (Bourns)

The Bourns SM91074AL is a 10/100 Base-T single-port low-profile SMD Ethernet transformer module in a 16-pin package, compliant with IEEE 802.3u (100 Base-T), AEC-Q200 automotive-grade qualified, RoHS compliant and halogen free. It operates over -40°C to +125°C, is rated MSL 1, with a peak reflow temperature of 245-250°C, and ships in Tape & Reel at 600 pcs per reel. It is widely used in industrial and automotive Fast Ethernet interfaces.

#2. VOOHU Replacement Product (Su Zhou Voohu Electronic Tech. Co., Ltd.)

VOOHU WHS16002GA is the ideal drop-in replacement offering equivalent functionality with superior cost-effectiveness and supply stability. It is a 10/100 BASE-TX single-port low-profile SMD transformer module in a fully pin-compatible 16-pin package (pinout identical to the SM91074AL), with the same circuit topology (1CT:1CT dual winding), the same -40°C to +125°C operating range, AEC-Q200 tested, IEEE 802.3 compliant and RoHS compliant — allowing direct substitution for the Bourns SM91074AL with no PCB redesign.

Notes:

  • Turns-ratio tolerance is ±2% (Bourns) vs ±5% (VOOHU); both are adequate for 10/100BASE-T — bench validation recommended where ratio accuracy is critical.

② Both parts share identical package dimensions, pinout and circuit topology, are AEC-Q200 automotive-grade, and operate over -40°C to +125°C, enabling true pin-for-pin replacement.

③ Crosstalk and CMR specifications are identical.

#4. Application Scenarios

10/100 BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) single-port low-profile transformer modules are widely used in:

  1. 1.Industrial Ethernet Switches and Gateways

Suitable for industrial Ethernet switches, edge gateways, SCADA and fieldbus equipment. The -40°C to +125°C range covers harsh factory environments; 1500 VAC isolation ensures safety.

  1. 1.Automotive Ethernet and Automotive Electronics

Both parts are AEC-Q200 automotive-grade, suitable for 10/100 Ethernet interfaces in automotive gateways, body controllers, infotainment and ADAS domain controllers.

  1. 1.Embedded and IoT Devices

The low-profile 16-pin package enables high-density board integration, ideal for industrial controllers, PLCs, IoT gateways and smart meters where space and cost matter.

  1. 1.Networking and Access Equipment

Suitable for routers, switches, IP cameras, POS terminals and network interface cards (NIC) requiring 10/100 Ethernet PHY isolation.

  1. 1.High-Reliability and Surveillance Systems

Wide-temperature, automotive-grade reliability makes it suitable for security/surveillance, building automation, medical and high-reliability industrial communications.

#5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is VOOHU WHS16002GA fully pin-compatible with Bourns SM91074AL? Can it be replaced without a PCB change?

Yes. Both use a 16-pin low-profile SMD package with 1.27 mm pitch and an identical pinout (TD+/TCT/TD-, RD+/RCT/RD-, TX±/RX± and CMT center-tap positions match) and the same 1CT:1CT dual-winding topology. WHS16002GA is a direct drop-in with no PCB redesign.
