Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the COM-10195 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Configuration: EL Wire (electroluminescent wire format)
• Color: Blue
• Length: 9.84 feet (3 meters)
• Export Classification: EAR99 compliance

The substitute part 69-ELW3.2-BL from NTE Electronics, Inc matches all critical functional and dimensional parameters. Both parts are EL wire products in blue color with identical 3-meter length specifications. The substitution is valid based on matching configuration, color, and physical dimensions that define the operational and mechanical compatibility of this component category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 69-ELW3.2-BL from NTE Electronics, Inc is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete COM-10195. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Identical EL wire configuration and blue color specification
• Matching 3-meter length dimension
• Active product status with current availability (1276 pieces in stock)
• ROHS3 compliance, providing improved environmental and regulatory alignment compared to the non-compliant original part
• Equivalent export classification (EAR99)

For applications where RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement, the 69-ELW3.2-BL provides superior compliance posture while maintaining functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 69-ELW3.2-BL directly replace the COM-10195 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are EL wire products with identical color (blue) and length (9.84 feet / 3 meters). The configuration and physical dimensions are equivalent, supporting direct substitution in applications where the original part was specified.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The COM-10195 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 69-ELW3.2-BL is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the substitute part provides better regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain the same functional performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The COM-10195 packaging is not specified in available data. The 69-ELW3.2-BL is supplied in bag packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific application and procurement process.

Q: Why is the COM-10195 marked as obsolete?

A: The obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by SparkFun Electronics. The 69-ELW3.2-BL from NTE Electronics, Inc is an active product with current manufacturing and inventory support.

Q: Are both parts classified under the same export regulations?

A: Yes. Both the COM-10195 and 69-ELW3.2-BL are classified as EAR99, indicating equivalent export control treatment.
