Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HSM8-C192 is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the HSM8-C190. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Shared base product number (HSM8 family)
• Identical wavelength specification (850nm infrared range)
• Identical manufacturer (Broadcom Limited)
• Identical functional classification (LED Indication - Discrete / Emitter)
• Matching regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
• Matching HTSUS classification (8541.41.0000)
• Compatible packaging format (top-mount configuration)

The HSM8-C192 is currently in Active product status, making it the appropriate replacement path for obsolete HSM8-C190 applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HSM8-C192 is the direct substitute for HSM8-C190 applications based on:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) maintains design certification validity
• Shared EAR99 classification preserves export compliance requirements
• Matching HTSUS code confirms tariff classification consistency
• Broadcom Limited manufacturer continuity ensures quality and reliability standards

Selection of HSM8-C192 for HSM8-C190 replacement requires verification of mechanical fit and electrical interface compatibility within the specific application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the HSM8-C190 being replaced? A: The HSM8-C190 has reached obsolete product status. The HSM8-C192 is the manufacturer-recommended active substitute within the HSM8 product family.

Q: Are the HSM8-C190 and HSM8-C192 electrically equivalent? A: Both parts share the same base product number (HSM8), wavelength specification (850nm), and functional classification (LED Indication - Discrete / Emitter), confirming electrical equivalence for the intended application.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts? A: The HSM8-C190 is supplied in standard top-mount configuration, while the HSM8-C192 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts maintain the same regulatory compliance? A: Yes. Both HSM8-C190 and HSM8-C192 are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes.

Q: Can I use HSM8-C192 as a direct replacement in existing designs? A: The HSM8-C192 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Mechanical fit and circuit interface compatibility must be confirmed for the specific application before implementation.
