Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CSMW-LWG0-NRSJE is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Color specification: White, Warm (2700K)
• Forward voltage range compatible with 3.22V nominal operation
• Current rating capability: minimum 240mA maximum rating
• Luminous flux output: 53 lm at 150mA test current
• Efficiency: 110 lm/W at test current

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 1113 (2835 Metric) surface-mount form factor
• Footprint dimensions: 3.50mm x 2.80mm
• Height constraint: 0.90mm maximum seated height
• Thermal characteristics: 47°C/W package thermal resistance

Compliance & Qualification:

• Automotive grade classification
• AEC-Q101 qualification requirement
• ROHS3 compliance
• EAR99 export classification

The substitute part CSMW-LWG0-NR0JE maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility within these defined parameters while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CSMW-LWG0-NR0JE is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete CSMW-LWG0-NRSJE. Both components share identical base product lineage (CSMW-L series) and maintain full compatibility across electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The main part CSMW-LWG0-NRSJE carries obsolete status with limited inventory (785 pieces). The substitute CSMW-LWG0-NR0JE maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (100,905 pieces), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. The substitute part retains automotive-grade qualification and AEC-Q101 certification requirements for automotive lighting applications.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which is standard for high-volume surface-mount assembly operations. The main part packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Moisture Sensitivity: The main part specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the substitute specifies MSL 3 (168 Hours). This difference requires adherence to standard moisture control procedures during storage and handling for the substitute component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CSMW-LWG0-NR0JE be used as a direct replacement for CSMW-LWG0-NRSJE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2700K color temperature, 3.22V forward voltage, 150mA test current, 53 lm flux output), mechanical form factor (1113/2835 package, 3.50mm x 2.80mm footprint), and thermal characteristics (47°C/W). The components are pin-compatible and footprint-compatible for surface-mount assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the different Moisture Sensitivity Levels?

A: The main part (MSL 1) has unlimited shelf life under standard conditions. The substitute part (MSL 3) requires storage at controlled humidity levels (≤60% RH) with a maximum shelf life of 168 hours after exposure to higher humidity. Standard moisture control procedures during component storage and handling are required for the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts qualified for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both components carry automotive grade classification and AEC-Q101 qualification, meeting automotive lighting application requirements.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The substitute part CSMW-LWG0-NR0JE is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated surface-mount assembly. The main part packaging format is not specified in the available data.

Q: Why is the substitute part recommended despite the MSL difference?

A: The substitute part is manufacturer-recommended and maintains active product status with superior supply availability. The MSL 3 specification is standard for modern LED components and does not impact performance when standard moisture control procedures are followed during manufacturing and assembly.

Q: Are the thermal characteristics identical between both parts?

A: The thermal resistance of the package is specified as 47°C/W for the main part. Identical thermal performance is maintained in the substitute part due to identical package construction and form factor.
