Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FLIR Lepton 500-0659-01 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resolution: 80 x 60 pixels
• Frames per Second: 8.6 fps
• Interface: SPI
• Pixel Size: 17µm x 17µm
• Package / Case: Module
• Shutter Type: Integral
• Color Output: Monochrome

The substitute part 500-0763-01 maintains identical electrical and optical specifications across all core parameters. The primary distinction is the series designation (Lepton® 2.5 versus Lepton® 2.0) and product status transition from obsolete to active, along with packaging format change from standard module to tray packaging.
