Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AFCT-5715APTZ-TP is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Broadcom Limited (maintained across substitute)
• Product Category: Fiber Optic Transceiver Module
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained)

The identified substitute part AFCT-725SMZ meets these core compatibility requirements while providing enhanced specifications suitable for modern deployment scenarios. The substitute maintains the same environmental compliance standards and handling requirements as the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For AFCT-5715APTZ-TP Replacement:

The AFCT-725SMZ serves as the designated substitute for the obsolete AFCT-5715APTZ-TP. Both components are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental handling and regulatory requirements.

The substitute part carries a "Last Time Buy" status, indicating limited future availability. Organizations requiring long-term supply assurance should evaluate procurement timelines accordingly.

Both parts maintain the same moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited), eliminating special storage or handling requirement changes during transition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the AFCT-5715APTZ-TP classified as obsolete?

A: The AFCT-5715APTZ-TP has reached end-of-life status in Broadcom Limited's product portfolio. Obsolete classification indicates the manufacturer no longer produces this component.

Q: Is the AFCT-725SMZ a direct replacement for the AFCT-5715APTZ-TP?

A: The AFCT-725SMZ is the designated substitute part. Both components share the same manufacturer, RoHS compliance level, and moisture sensitivity rating. Compatibility depends on system requirements for data rate (25Gbps), wavelength (1310nm), voltage supply (3.3V), and connector type (LC, SFP28 pluggable).

Q: What is the difference between "Obsolete" and "Last Time Buy" status?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured. Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer is accepting final orders before discontinuation. The AFCT-725SMZ is in Last Time Buy phase, providing a limited window for procurement before complete discontinuation.

Q: Are there any differences in handling requirements between the main part and substitute?

A: No. Both the AFCT-5715APTZ-TP and AFCT-725SMZ carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating identical moisture sensitivity levels and handling requirements.

Q: What is the current availability of these parts?

A: The AFCT-5715APTZ-TP has 1120 pieces in new original stock. The AFCT-725SMZ has 940 pieces in new original stock. Both are available as new original inventory.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. The AFCT-725SMZ is ROHS3 Compliant, matching the compliance level of the original AFCT-5715APTZ-TP.
