Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BXRC-40A2001-D-73 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following matching parameters: identical base product number (BXRC-40), identical product configuration (round COB with connector), identical color specification (white neutral), identical CCT rating (4000K 3-Step MacAdam Ellipse), identical mechanical dimensions (36.20mm diameter, 1.90mm height, 13.20mm LES diameter), identical lens type (flat), identical viewing angle (120°), identical CRI rating (93), and identical compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH, ECCN, HTSUS codes).

The substitute part differs in product status (active versus obsolete), packaging (tray versus unspecified), and certain electrical and photometric characteristics measured under different test conditions. These differences permit direct substitution in applications requiring the BXRC-40A2001-C-23, provided the design accommodates the specified performance variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BXRC-40A2001-D-73 is an active product from Bridgelux with current manufacturing support, whereas the BXRC-40A2001-C-23 is classified as obsolete. For new designs or continued production, the BXRC-40A2001-D-73 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and compliance with ROHS3 standards. Both parts meet REACH and EAR99 classifications and share identical physical and optical characteristics suitable for drop-in replacement in applications utilizing the round 4000K neutral white COB form factor with 120° viewing angle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BXRC-40A2001-D-73 be used as a direct replacement for the BXRC-40A2001-C-23?

A: Yes. The substitute part shares all critical form factor parameters: identical 36.20mm diameter round configuration, 1.90mm height, 13.20mm LES, flat lens, and 120° viewing angle. Color specification (white neutral) and CCT (4000K) are identical. Both parts feature connectors and meet the same compliance certifications.

Q: What are the electrical differences between these parts?

A: The BXRC-40A2001-D-73 exhibits lower forward voltage (30.9V vs 32.3V) and higher luminous efficiency (128 lm/W vs 108 lm/W) when measured at the same test current (500mA). The maximum rated current differs slightly (1.0A vs 1.05A). These differences reflect measurements at different test temperatures (85°C vs 25°C) and do not prevent substitution.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The BXRC-40A2001-D-73 is specified with tray packaging, whereas the BXRC-40A2001-C-23 packaging is unspecified in the available documentation. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Why is the original part marked as obsolete?

A: The BXRC-40A2001-C-23 is listed as obsolete, indicating that Bridgelux has concluded manufacturing or withdrawn the product from their active portfolio. The BXRC-40A2001-D-73, with identical specifications and active status, provides supply continuity for applications requiring this specific COB configuration.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent between the two parts?

A: Both parts share REACH unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The BXRC-40A2001-D-73 carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part carries RoHS compliance. ROHS3 represents updated regulatory standards and is fully compatible with applications designed for the original part.
