Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: BXRC-35G2000-D-73

The BXRC-35G2000-D-73 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete BXRC-35G2000-C-22. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Advantage: The BXRC-35G2000-D-73 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain continuity. The main part's Obsolete status necessitates transition to an active equivalent.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute achieves ROHS3 Compliant status, representing an upgraded compliance level. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8539.52.0091) classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence for international trade and procurement.

Electrical and Optical Compatibility: The substitute demonstrates improved performance characteristics within acceptable operating parameters. Forward voltage decreases by 4.3% (32.3V to 30.9V), reducing driver power dissipation. Luminous flux increases by 2.1% and efficiency improves by 6.0% (116 to 123 lm/W), reflecting generational advancement in the Vero® 13 Array platform. Maximum current rating decreases marginally by 4.8% (1.05A to 1.0A), remaining within standard driver capability ranges.

Mechanical and Optical Equivalence: All critical mechanical dimensions, optical properties, and connector features are identical. The 36.20mm diameter, 1.90mm height, 13.20mm LES diameter, flat lens, 120° viewing angle, and connector interface ensure direct mechanical and optical compatibility in existing designs.

Color and Thermal Performance: Both parts deliver 3500K warm white light with 90 CRI. The substitute's test temperature of 85°C reflects enhanced thermal characterization compared to the main part's 25°C test condition, providing more conservative performance data for thermal design applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the BXRC-35G2000-D-73 be used as a direct replacement for the BXRC-35G2000-C-22 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The BXRC-35G2000-D-73 qualifies as a direct substitute. All mechanical dimensions, optical specifications, electrical interfaces, and connector configurations are identical. The substitute operates within compatible electrical parameters for standard LED driver circuits designed for the original part.

Q2: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (Obsolete vs. Active), series designation (Vero® 13 Array vs. Gen 7 Vero® 13 Array), and performance metrics. The substitute exhibits lower forward voltage (30.9V vs. 32.3V), higher luminous flux (1907 lm vs. 1868 lm), improved efficiency (123 vs. 116 lm/W), and slightly lower maximum current (1.0A vs. 1.05A). These variations reflect generational improvements and do not affect design compatibility.

Q3: Will the lower forward voltage of the substitute affect my driver circuit?

A: The 4.3% reduction in forward voltage (32.3V to 30.9V) is within typical tolerance ranges for LED driver circuits. Most constant-current drivers accommodate this variation without modification. Verify your specific driver's input voltage range and current regulation capability to confirm compatibility.

Q4: Does the substitute provide better performance?

A: The BXRC-35G2000-D-73 demonstrates improved efficiency (6.0% higher lumens per watt) and slightly higher luminous flux (2.1% increase). These improvements reflect advancement in the Vero® 13 Array platform. Both parts maintain identical color temperature (3500K), CRI (90), and viewing angle (120°).

Q5: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part is specified with a connector package, while the substitute is specified as Tray packaging. Both parts include connector features. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q6: What is the significance of the MacAdam Ellipse difference (2-Step vs. 3-Step)?

A: The main part specifies 2-Step MacAdam Ellipse color consistency, while the substitute specifies 3-Step. The 3-Step specification indicates a wider acceptable color variation range, reflecting different binning or quality control standards. Both maintain the same 3500K nominal color temperature and 90 CRI.

Q7: Is the substitute RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The BXRC-35G2000-D-73 is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an upgraded compliance level from the main part's RoHS Compliant status. Both parts meet RoHS requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q8: Can I use the substitute in applications requiring the exact specifications of the original part?

A: The substitute is electrically and optically equivalent for standard lighting applications. However, applications with strict forward voltage or maximum current requirements should verify that the substitute's specifications (30.9V, 1.0A maximum) fall within acceptable design tolerances. The improved efficiency and luminous flux represent performance enhancements suitable for most applications.
