Engineering Selection Recommendations

CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 (Similar Manufacturer Part)

This substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the CLM2C-ACA-CXAA0253. The CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 is currently in Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability. The primary differences are reduced luminous intensity (3920mcd versus 4450mcd) and the addition of a diffused white lens with specified 30° viewing angle. This part is RoHS Compliant and carries identical MSL rating. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where the lower luminous intensity and diffused lens characteristics are acceptable.

CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 (Parametric Equivalent)

This part shares the same base product number (CLM2C) and maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions as the main part. The CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 offers higher luminous intensity (5325mcd versus 4450mcd) while preserving all other critical parameters. This part is ROHS3 Compliant with identical MSL rating. However, this part is also designated Last Time Buy status. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring higher luminous intensity within the same package footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 be used as a direct replacement for CLM2C-ACA-CXAA0253?

A: Yes, CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both parts share identical forward voltage (2V), test current (20mA), package type (4-PLCC), and physical dimensions. The CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 features a diffused white lens and lower luminous intensity (3920mcd). Compatibility depends on whether the application tolerates these optical differences.

Q: What is the difference between CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 and the main part?

A: CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is luminous intensity: 5325mcd versus 4450mcd. Both parts use the same 4-PLCC package and share identical forward voltage and test current ratings.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. CLM2C-ACA-CXAA0253 and CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 are ROHS3 Compliant. CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 is RoHS Compliant. All three parts meet regulatory compliance requirements.

Q: What does the diffused lens on CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 mean for application design?

A: The diffused white lens on CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 scatters light over a 30° viewing angle, compared to the clear lens on the main part. This affects light distribution and perceived brightness. Applications requiring narrow-angle, high-intensity indication should consider the luminous intensity difference (3920mcd versus 4450mcd).

Q: Can I use CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 if I need higher brightness?

A: Yes. CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 provides 5325mcd luminous intensity, which is higher than the main part's 4450mcd. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, making it suitable for applications requiring increased luminous output within the same package.

Q: What is the significance of Last Time Buy status?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that CLM2C-ACA-CXAA0253 and CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 are discontinued and no longer in production. CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 is in Active status, meaning it remains in production and offers long-term availability for new designs or ongoing supply requirements.
