Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DSD-40BCD-RL-C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Display Type: 7-Segment configuration
• Number of Characters: 4.5-character format
• Digit/Alpha Size: 0.52" (13.21mm)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.920" H x 2.170" W x 0.560" D
• Color: Red
• Package / Case: Module form factor
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part DSD-40BCD-RS-C belongs to the same DSD-40BCD series and maintains identical mechanical specifications and display configuration. Electrical parameters differ, requiring evaluation based on application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DSD-40BCD-RL-C and DSD-40BCD-RS-C are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts must account for the following factors:

Mechanical compatibility is assured, as both parts share identical physical dimensions and module form factor, enabling direct mechanical substitution in existing designs.

Electrical parameter differences exist between the two parts. The DSD-40BCD-RS-C operates at 5V with 85mA test current and 175mW maximum power dissipation, compared to the DSD-40BCD-RL-C at 35mA test current. The wavelength peak differs slightly (635nm versus 630nm), representing a minor shift within the red spectrum.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DSD-40BCD-RS-C directly replace DSD-40BCD-RL-C in existing applications?

A: Mechanical substitution is direct due to identical physical dimensions and module form factor. Electrical compatibility depends on the application's power supply and current handling capability. The substitute part requires 85mA versus 35mA, necessitating verification of the power delivery circuit.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are electrical: DSD-40BCD-RS-C operates at 5V with higher current consumption (85mA) and specified power dissipation (175mW), while DSD-40BCD-RL-C operates at lower current (35mA) with unspecified voltage and power parameters. Wavelength peak differs by 5nm (635nm versus 630nm), both within the red spectrum.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both DSD-40BCD-RL-C and DSD-40BCD-RS-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: DSD-40BCD-RL-C is packaged with a dash designation, while DSD-40BCD-RS-C is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain the same module form factor and physical specifications.

Q: Why are both parts classified as obsolete?

A: Both parts are listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Availability is limited to existing inventory. For new designs, evaluation of current-generation display modules from Murata Power Solutions Inc. or alternative manufacturers is recommended.
