Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0343 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

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

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Millicandela Rating: Luminous intensity may vary within the amber LED product line
• Lens Transparency: Clear or diffused options acceptable for indication applications
• Height (Max): Minor variations within mechanical envelope constraints
• RoHS Status: Both RoHS and ROHS3 compliance acceptable

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 (diffused lens variant with reduced intensity) and CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 (parametric equivalent with higher intensity).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 is the primary parametric equivalent. It maintains identical electrical specifications (2V, 20mA), package configuration (4-PLCC), and physical envelope (3.20mm L x 2.80mm W x 3.86mm H). The higher millicandela rating (5325mcd versus 4670mcd) represents improved luminous intensity within the same product family. ROHS3 compliance provides enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the original RoHS Compliant status. This part is recommended for direct substitution where luminous intensity increase is acceptable.

CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 is an alternative substitute with diffused lens transparency and reduced millicandela rating (3920mcd). The diffused lens characteristic alters light distribution properties, making this part suitable only for applications where diffused light output is functionally equivalent. The Active product status ensures continued availability. Height is reduced to 3.72mm, which may be advantageous in space-constrained designs. Selection of this part requires confirmation that diffused lens operation meets application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 replace CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0343 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical forward voltage (2V), test current (20mA), package (4-PLCC), and physical dimensions (3.20mm L x 2.80mm W x 3.86mm H). The increased millicandela rating (5325mcd versus 4670mcd) represents higher luminous intensity. Designs must accommodate this intensity increase or implement current limiting adjustments if brightness control is required.

Q: What is the functional difference between CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 and the original part?

A: CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 features a diffused lens (versus clear lens) and delivers lower millicandela rating (3920mcd versus 4670mcd). Diffused lenses scatter light over a wider viewing angle (30°), reducing peak intensity but improving light distribution uniformity. This part is suitable only for applications where diffused light output is functionally acceptable.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0343 and CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 are fully compatible with identical footprints (3.20mm L x 2.80mm W). CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 uses the same footprint but has reduced maximum height (3.72mm versus 3.86mm), which is compatible with all designs accommodating the original part height.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant. CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the latest regulatory standard. All parts are REACH Unaffected and carry ECCN EAR99 classification. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 5A (24 Hours) for all parts.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: CLM2C-ACA-CYBA0343 is recommended for new designs. It provides parametric equivalence with improved ROHS3 compliance and higher luminous intensity. CLM2D-APC-CXBZ0253 should be selected only when diffused light output is a functional requirement.
