Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 015291 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength Range: 515nm to 532nm (green laser spectrum)
• Power Output: 20mW (fixed requirement)
• Package Configuration: Module form factor
• Series Compatibility: iFLEX-iRIS® series
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 or equivalent environmental certification
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification

The substitute part 015290 operates within the allowed wavelength band at 515nm, maintains identical 20mW power output, shares the same module packaging, belongs to the iFLEX-iRIS® series, and meets RoHS3 compliance requirements. These parameters establish functional equivalence for applications requiring green laser output in the specified power range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 015290 substitute part is suitable for applications currently using the obsolete 015291 based on the following factors:

• Active Product Status: The 015290 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts meet stringent RoHS environmental standards, with the substitute meeting the more recent RoHS3 specification.
• Identical Power Specification: The 20mW output power remains constant, preserving system performance requirements.
• Wavelength Consideration: The 17nm wavelength shift from 532nm to 515nm represents a minor variation within the green laser spectrum. System optical design must accommodate this wavelength difference.
• Packaging Consistency: Module form factor and MSL 1 classification ensure mechanical and environmental compatibility with existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 015290 directly replace the 015291 in existing designs?

A: The 015290 provides functional equivalence in power output, package type, and compliance standards. However, the wavelength difference (532nm vs. 515nm) requires verification that the optical system design accommodates this 17nm shift. Applications with wavelength-critical specifications must evaluate this parameter.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference between these parts?

A: Both wavelengths fall within the green laser spectrum. The 532nm wavelength (015291) and 515nm wavelength (015290) serve similar applications in optical measurement and alignment. System-specific optical filters, detectors, or calibration may require adjustment for the wavelength change.

Q: Why is the 015291 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 015290 represents the active alternative within the iFLEX-iRIS® series, providing equivalent functionality with current manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts meet RoHS environmental standards. The 015291 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 015290 meets the more recent RoHS3 specification. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (9013.90.8000) classifications.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these modules?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 with unlimited classification indicates minimal moisture sensitivity. These modules do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures, simplifying logistics and inventory management.
