Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C5SMF-BJS-CT14Q3T2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Voltage - Forward (Vf) of 3.4V, Current - Test of 20mA, and Wavelength - Dominant of 470nm
• Optical Characteristics: Millicandela Rating of 1462mcd and Viewing Angle of 100° x 40°
• Mechanical Compatibility: Lens Style (Oval with Domed Top), Lens Size (5.10mm x 3.70mm), Height (Max) of 10.95mm, and Mounting Type (Through Hole)
• Package Configuration: Radial package / case and 5mm Oval supplier device package
• Regulatory Compliance: REACH Unaffected status and ECCN EAR99 classification

The identified substitutes C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q3T2 and C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q4T2 maintain complete parametric equivalence across all specified electrical, optical, and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete, while both substitutes are active, with improved inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q3T2 and C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q4T2 are direct parametric equivalents to the obsolete C5SMF-BJS-CT14Q3T2. Selection between the two active substitutes is based on product status and compliance certifications:

• C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q3T2: Active product status with RoHS Compliant certification and Tape & Box packaging. Inventory of 1004 units available.
• C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q4T2: Active product status with RoHS Compliant certification and Tape & Box packaging. Inventory of 975 units available.

Both substitutes maintain identical electrical performance, optical output, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory compliance (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99). The choice between them depends on procurement volume requirements and packaging preferences, as both offer equivalent functionality and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q3T2 and C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q4T2 be used interchangeably with C5SMF-BJS-CT14Q3T2?

A: Yes. Both substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications (3.4V forward voltage, 20mA test current), optical characteristics (470nm wavelength, 1462mcd intensity), and mechanical dimensions (5.10mm x 3.70mm lens, 10.95mm maximum height). All three parts are housed in radial through-hole packages with oval domed-top lenses and identical viewing angles.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The C5SMF-BJS-CT14Q3T2 is classified as obsolete. The substitute parts C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q3T2 and C5SMF-BJF-CT14Q4T2 are active products with improved inventory availability and RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part C5SMF-BJS-CT14Q3T2 does not specify packaging details. Both substitutes are supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging, which is standard for high-volume production environments.

Q: Do the substitutes meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical REACH Status (REACH Unaffected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8541.41.0000). The substitutes additionally carry RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these parts?

A: All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
