Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ALMD-CE3E-VX002 shares the base product number ALMD-CE3 with its substitute component. Substitution is determined by the following criteria:

• Manufacturer: Broadcom Limited (same manufacturer ensures design consistency)
• Base Product Number: ALMD-CE3 (common platform)
• LED Type: InGaN Cyan (same light-emitting technology and color)
• Application: LED Indication - Discrete (same functional category)
• Regulatory Compliance: REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000 (identical regulatory classification)

The substitute part ALMD-CE3F-XZ002 meets all these criteria while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALMD-CE3F-XZ002 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete ALMD-CE3E-VX002. Both components are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical regulatory classifications (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000).

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and continued manufacturer support
• RoHS3 compliance provides enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment
• Standardized Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes
• Defined mechanical specifications (4.20mm x 4.20mm x 7.00mm maximum height) enable precise PCB layout planning

The MSL rating difference (1 vs. 2A) reflects standard industry practice for active versus obsolete product lines and does not affect functional equivalence for LED indication applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ALMD-CE3F-XZ002 directly replace ALMD-CE3E-VX002 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share the ALMD-CE3 base product number, are manufactured by Broadcom Limited, and serve identical LED indication functions with the same InGaN cyan technology. Regulatory classifications are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the different MSL ratings?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) applies to the obsolete part, while MSL 2A (4 Weeks) applies to the active substitute. This difference reflects standard industry classification practices and does not impact functional performance for LED indication applications. Standard moisture control procedures during storage and assembly apply to the substitute part.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for the substitute part?

A: The ALMD-CE3F-XZ002 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with 4-SMD, Gull Wing configuration. Verify that your assembly equipment supports this package type and that PCB layout accommodates the specified dimensions (4.20mm L x 4.20mm W, 7.00mm maximum height).

Q: Does the substitute part meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The ALMD-CE3F-XZ002 is RoHS3 compliant and maintains identical REACH and ECCN classifications as the original part, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future production.

Q: Why is the substitute part recommended by the manufacturer?

A: The ALMD-CE3F-XZ002 represents the active product line continuation within the ALMD-CE3 family. Broadcom Limited designates this part as the manufacturer-recommended substitute to ensure design continuity and supply chain stability for applications previously using the obsolete ALMD-CE3E-VX002.
