drop-in replacement

Dutch translation: kant-en-klare vervanger

English to Dutch translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: drop-in replacement
The Sorbent was developed as a drop-in replacement for a current technology, but with the added benefit that operators can sell the fly ash generated in their power plants for use in the production of concrete.

Ik zie de term wel eens in computerteksten maar weet niet hoe ik het hier moet vertalen.

Explanation:
In computerteksten wordt het inderdaad vaak gebruikt als
'een onderdeel dat zonder aanpassingen het origineel kan vervangen'. Die definitie kun je hier volgens mij ook op loslaten.
