Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: BXRC-30E2000-D-73

The BXRC-30E2000-D-73 is the direct substitute for the obsolete BXRC-30E2000-C-23. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Regulatory Status:

• BXRC-30E2000-D-73 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support
• ROHS3 Compliant certification represents an upgrade from the original RoHS Compliant designation
• REACH Unaffected status maintained across both parts
• EAR99 and HTSUS classifications identical

Physical & Optical Compatibility:

• Identical mechanical footprint: 36.20 mm diameter, 1.90 mm height
• Identical Light Emitting Surface (LES) diameter: 13.20 mm
• Flat lens type and round configuration preserved
• Connector interface maintained

Electrical Performance:

• Forward voltage reduced from 32.3V to 30.9V, resulting in lower power consumption
• Maximum current specification of 1.0A (versus 1.05A) remains within acceptable operating envelope
• Luminous flux increased from 2133 lm to 2232 lm at equivalent test current (500mA)
• Lumens per Watt efficiency improved from 132 lm/W to 144 lm/W

Optical Characteristics:

• Color temperature maintained at 3000K with 3-Step MacAdam Ellipse tolerance
• CRI (Color Rendering Index) maintained at 80
• Viewing angle specification not provided for substitute; original 120° viewing angle should be verified with manufacturer for Gen 7 series

Moisture & Environmental:

• MSL rating maintained at Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Both parts suitable for standard storage and handling conditions

The BXRC-30E2000-D-73 substitution is recommended for all new designs and production continuity applications. The improved efficiency and active product status provide long-term supply security and reduced operational power requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BXRC-30E2000-D-73 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the BXRC-30E2000-C-23?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions (36.20 mm diameter, 1.90 mm height), identical Light Emitting Surface diameter (13.20 mm), flat lens type, and connector interface. The electrical performance differences (lower forward voltage, improved efficiency) are compatible with standard LED driver circuits designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between the Vero® 13 Array and Gen 7 Vero® 13 Array series?

A: The Gen 7 Vero® 13 Array represents a newer product generation within the Vero® 13 Array family. The BXRC-30E2000-D-73 (Gen 7) demonstrates improved luminous flux output (2232 lm vs. 2133 lm) and higher lumens per watt efficiency (144 lm/W vs. 132 lm/W) while maintaining identical color temperature, CRI, and physical dimensions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The BXRC-30E2000-C-23 is supplied in standard packaging, while the BXRC-30E2000-D-73 is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts feature connector interfaces. Tray packaging is standard for active production components and does not affect electrical or optical performance.

Q: What is the impact of the forward voltage difference (32.3V vs. 30.9V)?

A: The reduced forward voltage of the BXRC-30E2000-D-73 (30.9V) results in lower power consumption at equivalent current levels. For a 500mA test current, this represents approximately 4.3% reduction in voltage drop. Existing LED driver circuits designed for the original 32.3V specification will operate the substitute part within normal parameters with reduced power dissipation.

Q: Does the viewing angle specification affect substitution compatibility?

A: The original BXRC-30E2000-C-23 specifies a 120° viewing angle. The BXRC-30E2000-D-73 does not provide a viewing angle specification in available documentation. For applications where viewing angle is a critical optical parameter, direct confirmation with Bridgelux is recommended.

Q: What is the significance of the test temperature difference (25°C vs. 85°C)?

A: The BXRC-30E2000-C-23 luminous flux specification (2133 lm) is measured at 25°C test temperature, while the BXRC-30E2000-D-73 specification (2232 lm) is measured at 85°C. The higher flux output at elevated temperature indicates improved thermal performance in the Gen 7 generation. Both measurements are taken at identical test current (500mA).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The BXRC-30E2000-C-23 is RoHS Compliant. The BXRC-30E2000-D-73 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing an updated compliance certification. ROHS3 compliance is a superset of RoHS compliance and is fully compatible with applications requiring RoHS Compliant components.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The BXRC-30E2000-C-23 (Obsolete) has 863 pieces in stock. The BXRC-30E2000-D-73 (Active) has 900 pieces in stock. For long-term production requirements, the active status of the substitute part ensures continued availability.
