Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part ASMD-FWG3-NPTE6 is designated as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent for the obsolete ASMS-FWG2-ZNQD6. Substitution compatibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited, ensuring consistent design standards and quality control
• Component Category: Both are LED indicators in surface mount configuration
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications
• Moisture Sensitivity: The substitute operates under MSL 3 (168 Hours), which is compatible with MSL 2A (4 Weeks) applications
• Packaging Type: The substitute uses 1206 (3014 Metric) surface mount package, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ASMD-FWG3-NPTE6 is the manufacturer-designated substitute for the obsolete ASMS-FWG2-ZNQD6. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical regulatory classification (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000) maintains compliance requirements
• ROHS3 compliance of the substitute meets current environmental standards
• Both parts originate from the same manufacturer, ensuring consistent electrical and mechanical characteristics
• Adequate inventory levels (1144 units) support production requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the ASMS-FWG2-ZNQD6 marked as obsolete?

A: The ASMS-FWG2-ZNQD6 has reached end-of-life status. Broadcom Limited has designated the ASMD-FWG3-NPTE6 as the active replacement for new designs and production continuity.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between the 4014 package and the 1206 (3014 Metric) package?

A: The 4014 and 1206 (3014 Metric) packages have different form factors. PCB layout and footprint modifications are required for mechanical compatibility. Consult the respective datasheets for precise dimensional specifications.

Q: What is the difference between Summer White and Cool White (5000K) color specifications?

A: Summer White and Cool White (5000K) represent different color temperature classifications. The substitute operates at 5000K color temperature. Application requirements determine whether this color shift is acceptable for your system.

Q: How do the moisture sensitivity levels compare?

A: The main part operates under MSL 2A (4 Weeks), while the substitute operates under MSL 3 (168 Hours). Both classifications are compatible with standard surface mount assembly and storage practices. Verify storage conditions align with the substitute's MSL requirements.

Q: Is the substitute electrically compatible with the main part?

A: The substitute provides specified electrical parameters (3.02V forward voltage, 60mA test current, 120° viewing angle). Verify these parameters against your circuit design requirements to confirm electrical compatibility.
