Engineering Selection Recommendations

AM2520SURCK09 (Kingbright - MFR Recommended Substitute)

The AM2520SURCK09 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete AM2520SRC09. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 2-SMD Z-Bend package, 2.50mm x 2.00mm footprint, 2.90mm maximum height, and 1.90mm lens diameter. The AM2520SURCK09 maintains active product status with higher inventory availability (29,970 pcs). Electrical parameters remain within acceptable substitution range: forward voltage increases from 1.85V to 1.95V, and dominant wavelength shifts from 640nm to 630nm. The millicandela rating increases to 1000mcd. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and share identical MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours). This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs.

HLMP-Q105-P0031 (Broadcom Limited - Similar Substitute)

The HLMP-Q105-P0031 from Broadcom Limited provides an alternative substitute with active product status and 1717 pcs inventory. This part maintains the 2-SMD Z-Bend bottom entry configuration and operates within electrical compatibility parameters: 1.8V forward voltage and 637nm dominant wavelength. Physical dimensions are slightly different: 2.09mm L x 2.21mm W footprint with 2.92mm maximum height. The lens diameter is smaller at 1.78mm, and viewing angle is wider at 28°. Millicandela rating is lower at 200mcd. The HLMP-Q105-P0031 carries MSL rating of 2A (4 Weeks), which is more stringent than the original part. This substitute is suitable where the dimensional and brightness variations are acceptable for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AM2520SURCK09 be used as a direct replacement for the AM2520SRC09?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications (2-SMD Z-Bend package, 2.50mm x 2.00mm footprint, 2.90mm height, 1.90mm lens diameter) and identical viewing angle of 20°. Forward voltage increases from 1.85V to 1.95V, and dominant wavelength shifts from 640nm to 630nm. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours). The AM2520SURCK09 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What are the key differences between AM2520SURCK09 and HLMP-Q105-P0031?

A: Both are active products with 2-SMD Z-Bend bottom entry configuration. AM2520SURCK09 maintains identical footprint (2.50mm x 2.00mm) and lens size (1.90mm) as the original part. HLMP-Q105-P0031 has a slightly different footprint (2.09mm x 2.21mm) and smaller lens diameter (1.78mm). Forward voltage differs: 1.95V versus 1.8V. Millicandela ratings differ significantly: 1000mcd versus 200mcd. Viewing angle is wider on HLMP-Q105-P0031 at 28° versus 20°. MSL rating is more stringent on HLMP-Q105-P0031 at 2A (4 Weeks) versus 3 (168 Hours).

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the substitute parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts. HTSUS code is 8541.41.0000 for all parts. No regulatory differences exist between the main part and substitutes.

Q: What is the impact of the millicandela rating difference?

A: The AM2520SRC09 operates at 600mcd. The AM2520SURCK09 substitute provides 1000mcd (higher brightness), while the HLMP-Q105-P0031 provides 200mcd (lower brightness). Selection depends on application brightness requirements. Higher millicandela ratings increase visibility but may require circuit current limiting adjustments.

Q: How do wavelength differences affect substitution?

A: The AM2520SRC09 has dominant wavelength of 640nm (red spectrum). AM2520SURCK09 shifts to 630nm, and HLMP-Q105-P0031 operates at 637nm. All three remain within the red spectrum. Wavelength differences may produce slight color perception variations in visual indication applications but do not affect electrical functionality.

Q: What packaging format is available for the AM2520SURCK09?

A: The AM2520SURCK09 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original AM2520SRC09 packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for these parts?

A: The AM2520SRC09 and AM2520SURCK09 both carry MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours), indicating moderate moisture sensitivity. The HLMP-Q105-P0031 carries a more stringent MSL rating of 2A (4 Weeks), requiring more careful handling and storage conditions. MSL rating affects shelf life and reflow processing windows.
