COM-14732 Addressable LED Strip Serial RGB 1M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The COM-14732 is an addressable LED strip featuring 144 individual RGB LEDs arranged in a 1-meter linear configuration. The strip utilizes SK6812 LED elements controlled via serial shift register interface, enabling independent color and brightness control for each LED. This product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent or substitute components necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The provided substitute part list identifies part number 1507 from Curtis Industries. However, this part is classified as a Terminal Block (Barrier Block Connector) and does not share functional equivalence with the COM-14732 addressable LED strip. The 1507 is a 7-circuit barrier block connector with screw termination, designed for general electrical interconnection applications.

Substitution logic for addressable LED strips requires matching on the following critical parameters:

• LED count and physical arrangement
• Color configuration (RGB)
• LED element type (SK6812 or compatible)
• Control interface (Serial shift register)
• Physical dimensions and form factor
• Electrical interface compatibility

The 1507 terminal block does not satisfy any of these criteria and cannot function as a substitute for the COM-14732 in addressable lighting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The COM-14732 is an obsolete addressable LED strip product. Selection of a functional equivalent requires identification of an alternative addressable LED strip with matching or compatible specifications in the following areas:

• LED count: 144 LEDs
• Physical length: 1000mm
• Color capability: RGB
• LED type: SK6812 or pin-compatible equivalent
• Control interface: Serial shift register protocol

The listed part 1507 is a terminal block connector and does not provide functional equivalence for addressable lighting applications. This part should not be considered as a substitute for the COM-14732.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, alternative addressable LED strips with RoHS3 certification should be evaluated. The COM-14732 is RoHS non-compliant and may not meet current procurement requirements in regulated environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1507 terminal block be used as a substitute for the COM-14732 LED strip?

A: No. The 1507 is a barrier block connector designed for electrical interconnection. It does not contain LED elements, does not provide addressable lighting functionality, and cannot replace the COM-14732 in any application requiring RGB LED control.

Q: What parameters must match for a valid substitute of the COM-14732?

A: Valid substitutes must match the following: 144 LED count, 1-meter physical length, RGB color configuration, SK6812 LED element type or compatible equivalent, and serial shift register control interface.

Q: Is the COM-14732 still available for purchase?

A: The COM-14732 is classified as obsolete. Current inventory availability should be verified with authorized distributors. Alternative addressable LED strips with equivalent specifications are recommended for new designs.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS non-compliant status?

A: The COM-14732 does not meet RoHS3 compliance requirements. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or procurement policies requiring RoHS compliance must specify alternative addressable LED strips with ROHS3 certification.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with the serial shift register interface?

A: The COM-14732 uses a serial shift register control protocol. Any substitute must support identical or compatible serial shift register signaling to ensure software and hardware compatibility with existing control circuits.
