Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EAPLRAA6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Everlight Electronics Co Ltd (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility within the Photolink series)
• Series: Photolink (maintains product line consistency)
• Application Category: Optical fiber reception capability
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)

Electrical Parameter Constraints:

• Supply Voltage Range: Substitute must support the operating voltage window or be contained within it
• Minimum Receivable Power: Substitute specifications must meet or exceed sensitivity requirements
• Data Rate: Substitute must support the required bandwidth for the application

The PLR237/T8BK qualifies as a substitute based on manufacturer alignment, series continuity, optical application capability, and matching RoHS and MSL specifications. However, the PLR237/T8BK operates within a narrower supply voltage range (3V ~ 5.5V) compared to the EAPLRAA6 (2.4V ~ 5.5V), which represents a functional constraint in applications requiring operation below 3V.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PLR237/T8BK Substitution Considerations:

The PLR237/T8BK is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete EAPLRAA6. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and handling compatibility.

The PLR237/T8BK operates within a reduced supply voltage range (3V ~ 5.5V versus 2.4V ~ 5.5V). Applications operating the EAPLRAA6 at supply voltages below 3V cannot use the PLR237/T8BK as a direct substitute without circuit modification.

The PLR237/T8BK is available in Tube packaging, whereas the EAPLRAA6 packaging specification is not provided. Verify packaging compatibility with existing assembly and handling processes.

Data rate and minimum receivable power specifications are not provided for the PLR237/T8BK. Consult the component datasheet to confirm these electrical parameters meet application requirements for 16Mbps digital audio and optical reception at -27dBm sensitivity levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PLR237/T8BK directly replace the EAPLRAA6 in all applications?

A: The PLR237/T8BK is suitable for applications where the supply voltage remains at 3V or above. Applications requiring operation below 3V require circuit redesign or alternative components.

Q: What is the primary reason for seeking substitutes for the EAPLRAA6?

A: The EAPLRAA6 is classified as obsolete. The PLR237/T8BK, being an active product from the same manufacturer and series, provides continued availability for optical fiber reception applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the EAPLRAA6 and PLR237/T8BK?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental handling compatibility.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these components?

A: The PLR237/T8BK is supplied in Tube packaging. The EAPLRAA6 packaging specification is not provided in the available documentation. Confirm packaging compatibility with your assembly process.

Q: Where can I find detailed electrical specifications for the PLR237/T8BK?

A: Consult the PLR237/T8BK component datasheet from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd to verify data rate, minimum receivable power, and current consumption specifications for your specific application requirements.
