Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7611D2-L are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Series designation (7611 family)
• Configuration (Single)
• Type (Rigid)
• Mounting Type (Panel Mount, Press Fit)
• Lens Style (Round with Flat Top)
• Lens Size (6mm)
• Color (Clear)
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

The 7611D2-S qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical specifications across all critical compatibility parameters. Both parts share the same series, configuration, type, mounting methodology, lens geometry, and regulatory compliance profile. The difference in vertical height dimension (.96" versus .38") represents a geometric variation within the same product family that does not affect the core light transmission function or mounting interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7611D2-S serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 7611D2-L based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and safety regulations applicable to electronic component manufacturing and deployment.

Product Status Advantage: The 7611D2-S carries Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the Obsolete 7611D2-L. This status change represents the primary driver for substitution in production and field replacement scenarios.

Functional Equivalence: Identical specifications across mounting interface, lens geometry, optical properties, and material composition confirm functional equivalence for light pipe applications requiring 6mm round clear rigid panel-mount components with press-fit installation.

Inventory Availability: The 7611D2-S maintains substantial inventory levels (7817 pieces), supporting immediate procurement requirements without extended lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7611D2-S replace the 7611D2-L in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 7611D2-S is functionally equivalent to the 7611D2-L across all critical parameters including mounting type, lens size, lens style, and material properties. The primary difference is the vertical height dimension, which must be evaluated against specific panel thickness and assembly space constraints in the target application.

Q: What is the key difference between these two parts?

A: The 7611D2-L features a .96" vertical height, while the 7611D2-S features a .38" vertical height. Both parts maintain identical lens size (6mm), lens style (round with flat top), mounting type (panel mount, press fit), and optical properties (clear rigid material).

Q: Why is the 7611D2-L listed as Obsolete?

A: The 7611D2-L carries Obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. The 7611D2-S represents the current active equivalent within the VCC 7611 series product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 7611D2-L packaging specification is listed as dash (-), while the 7611D2-S is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with procurement requirements for your specific application.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 7611D2-L and 7611D2-S are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 7611D2-S should be selected for new designs due to its Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain support. The 7611D2-L should only be used in legacy system maintenance where the specific .96" height dimension is required.
