ED-23012-000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ED-23012-000 is a 760 Ohms balanced armature receiver speaker manufactured by Knowles, designed for audio applications requiring top-port rectangular configuration with 107 dB sensitivity across the 200 Hz to 5 kHz frequency range. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and design continuity. The substitute part ED-21992-000 provides functional equivalence while maintaining active product status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ED-21992-000 qualifies as a direct substitute for ED-23012-000 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Impedance: 760 Ohms (exact match)
• Frequency Range: 200 Hz ~ 5 kHz (exact match)
• Efficiency: 107.00 dBA (exact match)
• Port Location: Top (exact match)
• Shape: Rectangular (exact match)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.248" L x 0.169" W, Height 0.248" (exact match)
• Termination: Solder Pads (exact match)
• Technology: Magnetic, Balanced Armature (exact match)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ED-21992-000 is the appropriate selection for new designs and production continuity. This part maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Both parts satisfy EAR99 export classification and share identical tariff codes. The transition from ED-23012-000 to ED-21992-000 introduces no functional or compliance risk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ED-21992-000 replace ED-23012-000 in existing designs? A: Yes. All electrical parameters (impedance, frequency response, sensitivity), mechanical dimensions, and termination methods are identical. Direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the difference between these parts? A: ED-23012-000 is obsolete with standard packaging. ED-21992-000 is active with bulk packaging. Functional performance is identical.

Q: Are there compliance differences? A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, share EAR99 classification, and carry identical HTSUS codes.

Q: Does packaging affect electrical performance? A: No. Packaging configuration does not alter the electrical or mechanical specifications of the balanced armature receiver.

Q: Should I use ED-21992-000 for new production? A: Yes. Active product status ensures supply continuity and manufacturing support.
