Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EA-LCD-012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Display Type: TFT - Color (required match)
• Diagonal Screen Size: 5" (127.00mm) (required match)
• Resolution: 800 x 480 (WVGA) (required match)
• Interface: Parallel, 24-Bit (RGB) (required match)
• Display Mode: Transmissive (required match)
• Backlight: LED - White (required match)
• Dot Pitch: 0.14mm W x 0.14mm H (required match)

The substitute part EA TFT050-84ANN meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional compatibility in applications designed for the EA-LCD-012.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EA TFT050-84ANN is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete EA-LCD-012. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (parallel 24-bit RGB interface, 800 x 480 resolution, 5-inch transmissive TFT display) and mechanical dimensions within acceptable tolerances. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and legacy system support.

Both parts maintain compliance with export control classifications (EAR99) and tariff codes (8524.91.1000). The EA TFT050-84ANN carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EA TFT050-84ANN replace the EA-LCD-012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical display specifications (5-inch, 800 x 480 WVGA, transmissive TFT, parallel 24-bit RGB interface, LED-white backlight, 0.14mm dot pitch). The viewing area dimensions differ by approximately 1mm in width and height, which is within standard mechanical tolerance for display module mounting.

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

A: The EA-LCD-012 is supplied in box packaging, while the EA TFT050-84ANN is supplied in bag packaging. This affects storage and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or functional performance.

Q: Why is the EA-LCD-012 listed as obsolete?

A: The EA-LCD-012 has been discontinued by Embedded Artists. The EA TFT050-84ANN provides equivalent functionality and is actively manufactured, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are classified under the same export control (EAR99) and tariff code (8524.91.1000). The EA-LCD-012 is ROHS3 compliant, while the EA TFT050-84ANN is RoHS compliant. Both meet current regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on exact equivalence in display type (TFT color), screen size (5 inches), resolution (800 x 480), interface protocol (parallel 24-bit RGB), display mode (transmissive), backlight type (LED white), and dot pitch (0.14mm). Any deviation in these parameters requires re-evaluation of compatibility.
