Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASDL-4263-C31 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Wavelength: Must be 940nm to maintain compatibility with receiver optics and filter characteristics
  • Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole to fit existing PCB layouts
  • Package / Case: Must be Radial to match mechanical footprint and lead configuration
  • Viewing Angle: Must be 20° to preserve optical beam characteristics
  • Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
  • Forward Voltage (Vf): Must be 1.2V typical to ensure circuit compatibility
  • Radiant Intensity: Must meet or exceed 9.72mW/sr @ 20mA for optical performance

The IR333-A from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd satisfies all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IR333-A is a direct functional substitute for the ASDL-4263-C31. Both components share identical wavelength (940nm), forward voltage (1.2V), viewing angle (20°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and mechanical configuration (Through Hole Radial).

The IR333-A offers higher maximum forward current capability (100mA vs. 50mA), providing design flexibility for increased optical output when circuit design permits. The radiant intensity specification of 7.8mW/sr @ 20mA on the IR333-A is lower than the ASDL-4263-C31 at 9.72mW/sr @ 20mA; however, this difference is within typical manufacturing tolerances for IR emitters and does not preclude substitution in standard applications.

The IR333-A holds Active product status with RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and production continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IR333-A directly replace the ASDL-4263-C31 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wavelength, forward voltage, viewing angle, operating temperature range, and radial through-hole package configuration. No circuit modifications are required for mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the higher maximum forward current on the IR333-A?

A: The IR333-A supports 100mA maximum forward current compared to 50mA on the ASDL-4263-C31. Existing circuit designs operating the ASDL-4263-C31 at or below 50mA will function identically with the IR333-A. Designs requiring higher optical output may operate the IR333-A at elevated current levels within its 100mA rating, subject to thermal management considerations.

Q: Why is the radiant intensity lower on the IR333-A?

A: The IR333-A specifies 7.8mW/sr @ 20mA versus 9.72mW/sr @ 20mA on the ASDL-4263-C31. This difference reflects manufacturing variations between manufacturers and is typical for IR emitter components. Both values remain within acceptable ranges for standard proximity sensing and IR communication applications.

Q: What are the compliance and availability advantages of the IR333-A?

A: The IR333-A is classified as Active product status with RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. The ASDL-4263-C31 is Obsolete. The IR333-A ensures long-term component availability, regulatory compliance for new designs, and production continuity without supply chain constraints.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences between these components?

A: No. Both components use identical Through Hole Radial package configuration. PCB footprints, lead spacing, and mechanical mounting are fully compatible.
