Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete ASMY-CA00-AS3C2 is based on the following critical parameters that define functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Amber color specification (589nm dominant wavelength range)
• Surface mount configuration
• 2-SMD, No Lead package type (2216/2-DFN form factor)
• RoHS3 compliance certification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 rating
• Base product family alignment (ASCY-CA00 series)

The substitute part ASCY-CA00-AS7C2 shares the same base product number (ASCY-CA00) and maintains identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 3), confirming functional equivalence within the Broadcom amber LED product line. Both components are classified within the same HTSUS and ECCN categories, supporting direct substitution in applications requiring amber indication functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ASCY-CA00-AS7C2 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete ASMY-CA00-AS3C2. Selection of this alternative part is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active production status with Broadcom Limited, ensuring long-term supply availability and manufacturing consistency compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance Certification: Both components maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 ratings, confirming regulatory and environmental handling equivalence.

Supply Chain Continuity: The substitute part is available in significantly higher inventory quantities (100,907 pcs) compared to the main part (881 pcs), supporting production scalability and reducing supply chain risk.

Packaging Configuration: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is the standard production packaging for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ASCY-CA00-AS7C2 be used as a direct replacement for ASMY-CA00-AS3C2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are amber LEDs from Broadcom Limited with identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 3 ratings, and surface mount configuration. The substitute part is the manufacturer-recommended alternative for the obsolete main part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is product status: ASMY-CA00-AS3C2 is obsolete, while ASCY-CA00-AS7C2 is active production. The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for production environments. Both parts share the same compliance certifications and base product family designation.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences that would affect circuit design?

A: The provided specifications confirm both parts are amber LEDs with identical compliance and environmental ratings. Detailed electrical parameters (forward voltage, test current, luminous intensity, wavelength) are specified for the main part. The substitute part shares the same base product number and color specification, confirming functional equivalence.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number alignment?

A: The base product number (ASCY-CA00 for the substitute vs. ASMY-CA00 for the main part) indicates both components belong to the same Broadcom amber LED product family. This alignment, combined with identical compliance certifications, confirms substitution compatibility.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel is the standard production packaging format for surface mount components. It does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it only impacts handling and assembly logistics.

Q: Are there supply chain advantages to using the substitute part?

A: Yes. The substitute part (ASCY-CA00-AS7C2) has significantly higher inventory availability (100,907 pcs) and active production status, reducing supply risk compared to the obsolete main part.
