Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: BXRC-40E2000-D-73

The BXRC-40E2000-D-73 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete BXRC-40E2000-C-22. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The BXRC-40E2000-D-73 maintains active product status with Bridgelux, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The obsolete status of the BXRC-40E2000-C-22 necessitates transition to an active alternative for new designs and production continuity.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute achieves ROHS3 certification, representing an upgrade in regulatory compliance standards. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS coding (8539.52.0091), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Electrical and Optical Compatibility: The substitute demonstrates improved electrical efficiency with a 6.4% increase in lumens per watt (149 lm/W versus 140 lm/W). Forward voltage decreases by 4.3% (30.9V versus 32.3V), reducing driver power dissipation. Maximum current decreases by 4.8% (1.0A versus 1.05A), improving thermal management. Luminous flux increases by 2% under test conditions, providing enhanced light output. These variations remain within acceptable operational parameters for driver circuits and thermal management systems designed for the original part.

Mechanical and Optical Specifications: Physical dimensions are identical (36.20mm diameter, 1.90mm height, 13.20mm LES diameter). Lens type, configuration, color, CCT, and CRI specifications match exactly. The substitute represents a generational advancement (Gen 7 Vero® 13 Array) within the same product family, maintaining form-factor and optical compatibility.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in Tray packaging, compared to the original part's connector packaging designation. Both parts include connector features; packaging variation reflects standard distribution format for active products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BXRC-40E2000-D-73 be used as a direct replacement for BXRC-40E2000-C-22 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute maintains identical physical dimensions, electrical interface, optical specifications, and color characteristics. The lower forward voltage and reduced maximum current represent improvements that enhance driver efficiency and thermal performance. Existing driver circuits and thermal management designs require no modification.

Q: What is the significance of the MacAdam Ellipse classification change from 2-Step to 3-Step?

A: Both parts maintain 4000K CCT specification. The 3-Step MacAdam Ellipse classification in the substitute indicates tighter color consistency tolerances, representing an improvement in color uniformity across production batches. This change does not affect compatibility with applications designed for 4000K neutral white lighting.

Q: Why does the substitute show a test temperature of 85°C instead of 25°C?

A: Test temperature variation reflects different measurement protocols used by Bridgelux for different product generations. The 85°C test condition represents a more stringent thermal evaluation. Luminous flux values remain comparable when accounting for thermal characteristics. Both parts operate within the same absolute maximum ratings and thermal management requirements.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with existing connectors?

A: No. Both parts feature connector integration. The substitute maintains the same connector interface, ensuring direct compatibility with existing PCB designs and harness assemblies.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: BXRC-40E2000-D-73 has 1053 pieces in new original stock, compared to 926 pieces available for the obsolete BXRC-40E2000-C-22. The substitute offers superior supply availability for new production orders.

Q: Does the substitute meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The substitute achieves ROHS3 certification, representing an upgrade in compliance standards. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8539.52.0091) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and import purposes.

Q: What is the impact of the 4.3% forward voltage reduction on driver design?

A: The reduced forward voltage (30.9V versus 32.3V) decreases power dissipation in the LED module and reduces driver output voltage requirements. Existing constant-current drivers designed for the original part will operate within specification with the substitute, resulting in improved overall system efficiency.
