Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0253 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Amber (590nm dominant wavelength)
• Package / Case: 4-PLCC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 2V nominal
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Lens Size: 2.45mm Dia
• Physical Dimensions: 3.20mm L x 2.80mm W

Secondary Considerations:

• Millicandela Rating: Variations within the amber LED product line
• Lens Transparency: Clear or diffused options
• Height (Max): Tolerance within PCB assembly constraints
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

The identified substitutes maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct replacement in 4-PLCC amber LED indication circuits while accommodating minor variations in optical characteristics and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 (Active Status Substitute): This part maintains full electrical compatibility with identical forward voltage (2V) and test current (20mA) specifications. The primary distinction is the diffused lens transparency, which reduces peak luminous intensity to 3920mcd while providing a 30° viewing angle. Height is reduced to 3.72mm, offering improved PCB assembly clearance. Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. RoHS compliance is maintained. Selection is appropriate for applications where diffused light distribution and reduced brightness are acceptable or beneficial.

CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 (Parametric Equivalent): This part provides identical electrical specifications and package dimensions to the main part, with increased luminous intensity at 5325mcd. Both maintain Last Time Buy status and identical height (3.86mm). The CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 offers ROHS3 compliance, representing updated regulatory alignment. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring higher luminous intensity within the same form factor and electrical operating point.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 be used as a direct replacement for CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0253?

A: Yes, with optical considerations. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2V, 20mA), package type (4-PLCC), and physical footprint (3.20mm L x 2.80mm W). The CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 features a diffused lens reducing brightness to 3920mcd versus 4670mcd, and provides a defined 30° viewing angle. Height is 0.14mm lower (3.72mm vs 3.86mm). Direct PCB replacement is feasible; optical performance will differ.

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

A: Both are identical in electrical specifications, package, and physical dimensions. The CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 provides higher luminous intensity (5325mcd vs 4670mcd) and updated ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance. Both maintain 4-PLCC surface mount configuration and 2V forward voltage. Selection depends on brightness requirements and regulatory compliance needs.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0253 and CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 carry RoHS Compliant status. CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current regulatory alignment.

Q: What does Last Time Buy status mean for the main part and CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343?

A: Last Time Buy indicates discontinued production with no future manufacturing planned. Existing inventory is available for purchase. CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 maintains Active status, ensuring continued production and supply availability.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: Electrical interchangeability is confirmed for all three parts at 2V forward voltage and 20mA test current. Physical interchangeability is confirmed for PCB footprint and 4-PLCC package. Optical performance varies: CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 provides diffused light with reduced intensity; CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 provides increased intensity. Circuit design must accommodate these optical variations.

Q: What is the significance of the diffused lens in CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253?

A: The diffused lens (white lens transparency) scatters light across a 30° viewing angle, reducing peak brightness to 3920mcd. This is beneficial for applications requiring uniform light distribution across a wider viewing area rather than concentrated brightness in a narrow angle.
