Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 7513D2-S optical light pipe has one identified equivalent substitute: the 7513D2-L. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Manufacturer: Visual Communications Company (VCC)
• Series: 7513
• Configuration: Single
• Type: Rigid
• Mounting Type: Board Mount, Press Fit, Right Angle
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Lens Size: 3.60mm
• Color: Clear
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The 7513D2-L maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution while offering the advantage of active product status and improved moisture sensitivity rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7513D2-L is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 7513D2-S. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the 7513 series optical light pipe family. The 7513D2-L offers the following advantages for component selection:

Product Status: The 7513D2-L maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability for current and future production requirements.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Moisture Sensitivity: The 7513D2-L specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), providing enhanced handling flexibility compared to the obsolete part designation.

Packaging: The 7513D2-L is supplied in bag packaging, suitable for standard component handling and integration workflows.

For applications currently utilizing the 7513D2-S, direct substitution with the 7513D2-L requires no design modifications, PCB layout changes, or functional re-qualification due to identical mechanical and optical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7513D2-L directly replace the 7513D2-S without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The 7513D2-L is a direct mechanical and functional equivalent. Both components feature identical mounting type (board mount, press fit, right angle), lens size (3.60mm), lens style (round with flat top), and rigid configuration. No PCB layout or design changes are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 7513D2-S?

A: The 7513D2-S is classified as obsolete. The 7513D2-L provides an active alternative from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued component availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both the 7513D2-S and 7513D2-L maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 3926.90.9985.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 7513D2-S packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 7513D2-L is supplied in bag packaging, which is standard for optical light pipe components and compatible with automated assembly processes.

Q: Does the moisture sensitivity level affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. The MSL difference (7513D2-S: Not Applicable; 7513D2-L: MSL 1 Unlimited) does not impact functional substitution. MSL 1 Unlimited indicates superior moisture handling characteristics, providing additional process flexibility without compromising component performance.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the 7513D2-S and 7513D2-L are manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) and belong to the 7513 series optical light pipe product line.
