Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 015294 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended alternative within the iFLEX-iRIS® series. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters:

• Power Output Match: Both parts deliver 40mW, maintaining equivalent optical power delivery
• Series Continuity: Both components belong to the iFLEX-iRIS® series, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings
• Manufacturer Source: Both are Excelitas Technologies products, ensuring consistent quality and support standards

The primary difference is wavelength specification: 014690 operates at 561nm (green), while 015294 operates at 642nm (red). This wavelength difference requires application-level evaluation to determine suitability for specific optical system requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 015294 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 014690. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The 015294 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Compliance Certification: Both parts meet current RoHS requirements with identical moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting regulatory compliance objectives
• Series Compatibility: Membership in the iFLEX-iRIS® series provides mechanical and electrical interface consistency
• Equivalent Power Delivery: Matched 40mW output maintains optical power specifications

Wavelength substitution from 561nm to 642nm requires application-specific validation to confirm optical system compatibility with the red spectral range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 015294 directly replace the 014690 in existing designs?

A: The 015294 provides electrical and mechanical compatibility as a series member. However, the wavelength shift from 561nm to 642nm requires application-level assessment. Systems designed for green laser emission may require optical component adjustments or recalibration for red laser operation.

Q: What are the key parameters determining substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on power output (40mW), series membership (iFLEX-iRIS®), compliance ratings (RoHS), and moisture sensitivity (MSL 1). Wavelength difference is the primary technical distinction requiring application validation.

Q: Is the 015294 available for new procurement?

A: Yes. The 015294 maintains active product status with current inventory availability, supporting both replacement and new design applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The 015294 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current compliance standards. Both share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 014690 is specified as a module without detailed packaging designation. The 015294 is packaged in a box. Both maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and environmental ratings.
