Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EAPLRAA1 is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Voltage Supply Range Compatibility: The substitute part must operate within or encompass the supply voltage range of the main part. The EAPLRAA1 operates at 2.4V ~ 5.5V. A substitute operating at 3V ~ 5.5V demonstrates partial overlap, with the lower voltage threshold elevated by 0.6V.

Optical Application Alignment: Both the main part and substitute must serve optical receiver functions within the Photolink series from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd.

Regulatory and Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental and handling requirements.

Data Rate and Sensitivity: The EAPLRAA1 specifies 16Mbps operation with -27dBm minimum receivable power. Substitute parts without explicitly stated data rate or sensitivity parameters are evaluated based on their application category and series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PLR237/T10BK serves as an active substitute for the obsolete EAPLRAA1 based on the following criteria:

Manufacturer Continuity: Both components are manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd within the Photolink series, ensuring design lineage and technical support consistency.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental qualification and handling requirements.

Voltage Supply Compatibility: The PLR237/T10BK operates at 3V ~ 5.5V, which overlaps the upper portion of the EAPLRAA1 supply range (2.4V ~ 5.5V). Applications operating at supply voltages of 3V or higher are directly compatible. Applications requiring operation below 3V require circuit-level evaluation.

Active Product Status: The PLR237/T10BK is classified as active, ensuring ongoing availability, technical documentation, and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete EAPLRAA1.

Optical Application Alignment: Both components are designated for optical receiver applications, confirming functional category alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PLR237/T10BK directly replace the EAPLRAA1 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is applicable for systems operating at supply voltages of 3V or higher. Systems requiring operation below 3V require circuit-level evaluation to confirm compatibility with the elevated minimum voltage threshold of the PLR237/T10BK.

Q: What is the significance of the EAPLRAA1 being classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the component is no longer manufactured or supported by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. The PLR237/T10BK, classified as active, represents the current production alternative within the Photolink series.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these components?

A: The EAPLRAA1 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The PLR237/T10BK is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging differences may affect procurement, handling, and assembly processes.

Q: Do both components meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the EAPLRAA1 and PLR237/T10BK are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), confirming equivalent regulatory and environmental qualification.

Q: What parameters are not specified for the PLR237/T10BK?

A: The PLR237/T10BK does not specify data rate or minimum receivable power in available documentation. Selection should be based on application requirements and Everlight Electronics Co Ltd technical documentation for this part number.
