Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Adafruit 813 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• 4-character configuration
• 0.56" (14.22mm) digit size
• 7-segment clock display type
• Common cathode pin configuration
• Green color
• ROHS3 compliance

The Kingbright CC56-11GWA meets all substitution requirements. This part maintains identical functional specifications for character count, digit dimensions, display architecture, and electrical configuration. Both components share the same ROHS3 compliance status and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Kingbright CC56-11GWA is the direct substitute for the Adafruit 813. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory alignment for existing designs. The CC56-11GWA carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability, providing supply chain continuity for applications currently using the obsolete Adafruit 813.

The substitute part provides complete functional equivalence across all specified parameters: 4-character configuration, 0.56" digit dimensions, 7-segment clock display architecture, and common cathode electrical configuration. The 36-DIP module package and documented electrical characteristics (2.2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 11mcd brightness) enable direct integration into existing circuit designs without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Kingbright CC56-11GWA replace the Adafruit 813 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical functional specifications: 4-character count, 0.56" digit size, 7-segment clock display type, common cathode configuration, and green color. The CC56-11GWA is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key compatibility parameters for this display category?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: number of characters (4), digit size (0.56"/14.22mm), display type (7-segment clock), common pin configuration (common cathode), and color (green). All these parameters must match for functional equivalence.

Q: Does the package format differ between these parts?

A: The Adafruit 813 package specification is not provided in the technical data. The Kingbright CC56-11GWA uses a 36-DIP module package (0.600" pitch, 15.24mm). Verify mechanical fit and pin compatibility with your existing PCB layout before implementation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Adafruit 813 and Kingbright CC56-11GWA are ROHS3 compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What electrical parameters should I consider for circuit design?

A: The Kingbright CC56-11GWA operates at 2.2V forward voltage with 20mA test current and 62.5mW maximum power dissipation. These specifications define the current-limiting resistor values and power supply requirements for your application circuit.
