COM-12584 Addressable LED Matrix RGB - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The COM-12584 is a 1024 LED (32 x 32) addressable RGB matrix module manufactured by SparkFun Electronics. This component is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The COM-12584 provides a matrix configuration for addressable lighting applications requiring individual RGB control across 1024 discrete LED positions.

Due to its obsolete status, sourcing replacement units from original inventory may become increasingly difficult. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures continuity for applications currently utilizing this component or for new designs requiring comparable functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the COM-12584 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Count and Configuration: 1024 LEDs in 32 x 32 matrix arrangement
• Color Specification: Red, Green, Blue (RGB) addressable lighting
• Mounting Type: User Defined installation method
• Compliance Profile: RoHS non-compliant status and MSL Level 1 rating

The COM-14646 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components share identical LED count, matrix configuration, RGB color capability, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: COM-14646 is active in production, whereas COM-12584 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The COM-14646 is the direct substitute for COM-12584 applications. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. Selection of COM-14646 is appropriate for:

• Replacement of obsolete COM-12584 units in existing designs
• New designs requiring 1024 LED addressable RGB matrix functionality
• Applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable per design requirements

The COM-14646 provides the advantage of active production status and documented physical dimensions (190.50mm L x 190.50mm W), supporting design integration and procurement planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can COM-14646 directly replace COM-12584 in existing applications?
