Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 7511F2 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute components:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Configuration: 2 Wide
• Type: Rigid construction
• Color: Clear optical material
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Regulatory Classification: EAR99

The RLP2-400-800 manufactured by Bivar Inc. satisfies these core substitution parameters. While the RLP2-400-800 includes additional mounting specifications (Board Mount, Snap-In, Right Angle) and a defined lens size (2.8mm) not present in the original 7511F2 specification, these represent functional enhancements rather than incompatibilities. The substitute maintains the essential optical and mechanical characteristics required for light pipe array applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RLP2-400-800 is the identified substitute for the obsolete 7511F2 based on matching core optical and mechanical parameters. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications subject to environmental directives.

Product Status: The RLP2-400-800 carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (12,332 pieces), providing supply chain reliability for ongoing production requirements.

Functional Equivalence: Matching configuration (2 Wide), material type (Rigid Clear), and lens geometry (Round with Flat Top) establish functional equivalence for light pipe array applications.

Classification Consistency: Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications, maintaining export and tariff consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the RLP2-400-800 a suitable substitute for the 7511F2?

A: The RLP2-400-800 matches the critical parameters of the 7511F2: 2-wide configuration, rigid clear construction, round flat-top lens style, and identical regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH unaffected, EAR99). Both components are classified under the same HTSUS code, confirming functional equivalence.

Q: Does the RLP2-400-800 include features not present in the 7511F2?

A: The RLP2-400-800 specifies board mount, snap-in, right-angle mounting and a defined lens size of 2.8mm. The original 7511F2 does not include these specifications in the provided data. These represent additional defined characteristics rather than incompatibilities.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The RLP2-400-800 is in active production with 12,332 pieces available in new original stock, providing immediate availability for component replacement and new production applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The 7511F2 packaging is not specified in the available data. The RLP2-400-800 is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging requirements should be evaluated based on specific application handling and assembly processes.

Q: Do both components meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 7511F2 and RLP2-400-800 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes, ensuring regulatory continuity in component substitution.
