Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Assessment:

The BXRC-40G2000-D-73 is a direct substitute for the obsolete BXRC-40G2000-C-03. Both components share identical physical dimensions, optical characteristics, and connector configuration, enabling mechanical and optical compatibility in existing designs.

Key Advantages of BXRC-40G2000-D-73:

1. Active Product Status: The substitute is in active production, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and support.

2. Improved Efficiency: The substitute delivers 128 lm/W compared to 111 lm/W, representing a 15.3% efficiency improvement.

3. Enhanced Thermal Performance: Lower typical forward voltage (30.9V vs. 32.5V) reduces power dissipation and thermal load.

4. Higher Luminous Output: 1973 lumens at 85°C test conditions exceeds the main part's 1810 lumens at 25°C, indicating superior performance across operating temperature ranges.

5. Explicit RoHS3 Compliance: The substitute provides documented ROHS3 Compliant status, supporting regulatory requirements.

6. Identical Compliance Profile: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Design Considerations:

• Maximum current rating of the substitute (1.0A) is marginally lower than the main part (1.05A). Verify that existing driver circuits operate within the 1.0A maximum specification.
• Forward voltage reduction (1.6V lower) may require minor driver circuit adjustment to maintain consistent light output.
• Both components are suitable for applications requiring 4000K neutral white light with 90 CRI.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can BXRC-40G2000-D-73 be used as a direct replacement for BXRC-40G2000-C-03 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions (36.20mm diameter, 1.90mm height), optical configuration (round, flat lens, 13.20mm LES), color specification (white, neutral 4000K), and CRI (90). The connector interface is identical. Mechanical and optical compatibility is confirmed.

Q2: What electrical adjustments are necessary when substituting BXRC-40G2000-D-73 for BXRC-40G2000-C-03?

A: The substitute has a lower typical forward voltage (30.9V vs. 32.5V) and a slightly lower maximum current rating (1.0A vs. 1.05A). Verify that existing driver circuits can operate within these specifications. The voltage reduction may improve thermal performance but requires confirmation that the driver maintains proper current regulation.

Q3: Why is the substitute tested at 85°C while the main part is tested at 25°C?

A: The test temperature difference reflects different measurement protocols. The substitute's 1973 lumens at 85°C indicates robust performance under elevated thermal conditions, which is typical for real-world operating environments. The main part's 1810 lumens at 25°C represents performance under controlled laboratory conditions.

Q4: Is the substitute available in the same packaging as the main part?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in the available data. The substitute is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q5: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The substitute provides explicit ROHS3 Compliant certification. No regulatory barriers to substitution exist.

Q6: What is the efficiency improvement when using BXRC-40G2000-D-73?

A: The substitute achieves 128 lm/W compared to the main part's 111 lm/W, representing a 15.3% efficiency gain. This translates to reduced power consumption and lower thermal load in equivalent lighting applications.

Q7: Is the substitute suitable for applications requiring high CRI lighting?

A: Yes. Both components maintain a CRI of 90, meeting high color rendering requirements for applications such as retail, hospitality, and general commercial lighting where accurate color representation is essential.

Q8: Can the substitute handle the same maximum current as the main part?

A: The substitute's maximum current rating is 1.0A, compared to the main part's 1.05A. Applications operating at or near 1.05A must be re-evaluated to ensure operation within the substitute's 1.0A maximum specification.
