COM-12025 Addressable LED Strip Serial RGB 1M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The COM-12025 is an addressable LED strip featuring 60 individual RGB LEDs arranged in a 1-meter configuration with serial shift register control. This component utilizes WS2812 LED elements and is designed for applications requiring individually addressable color control across the strip length.

The COM-12025 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure project feasibility for new implementations or component replenishment.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the COM-12025 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Count: 60 LEDs (exact match required)
• Color Configuration: Red, Green, Blue (RGB) (exact match required)
• Interface Type: Serial control mechanism (shift register protocol)
• Physical Length: 1000.00mm (exact match required)
• Mounting Configuration: Strip format with user-defined mounting

The COM-15206 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. While the LED type differs (APA104 versus WS2812), both are compatible with serial shift register control protocols and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the strip configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The COM-15206 is the designated substitute for the obsolete COM-12025. Selection of COM-15206 is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: COM-15206 maintains active product status with current inventory availability (957 Pcs), whereas COM-12025 is obsolete.
• Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical LED count (60), color configuration (RGB), interface protocol (serial), and physical dimensions (1000mm).
• Compliance Alignment: COM-15206 carries RoHS compliance classification (Not applicable status), providing improved regulatory alignment compared to the non-compliant COM-12025.
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts share identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can COM-15206 directly replace COM-12025 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical LED count (60), RGB color configuration, serial shift register interface, and 1-meter physical length. The APA104 LED type in COM-15206 operates within the same serial protocol framework as the WS2812 in COM-12025.

Q: What is the primary difference between COM-12025 and COM-15206?

A: The primary difference is product status and LED type. COM-12025 is obsolete and uses WS2812 LEDs, while COM-15206 is active and uses APA104 LEDs. Both LED types support serial shift register control and are functionally equivalent for this strip configuration.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: COM-12025 is supplied in standard packaging, while COM-15206 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: COM-12025 has 942 Pcs in stock but is classified as obsolete. COM-15206 has 957 Pcs in stock and maintains active product status.

Q: Do both parts share the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both COM-12025 and COM-15206 carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
