Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HSM9-C190 is determined by the following criteria:

• Base Product Series: Both parts share the HSM9 base product number, ensuring mechanical and functional compatibility
• Wavelength Specification: 940nm infrared LED wavelength maintained across all substitutes
• Mounting Configuration: Top-mount package type preserved for PCB assembly compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status required for equivalent substitution
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating maintained for storage and handling consistency

The HSM9-C192 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters, with the primary distinction being product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HSM9-C192 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete HSM9-C190. Both parts maintain identical functional specifications for 940nm infrared LED indication applications. The HSM9-C192 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support from Broadcom Limited.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintain equivalent regulatory standing under REACH and export classification (EAR99). The MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating applies uniformly across both parts, eliminating moisture sensitivity as a selection constraint.

The primary operational difference is packaging format: HSM9-C190 is supplied in bulk packaging, while HSM9-C192 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This distinction affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HSM9-C192 directly replace HSM9-C190 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share the HSM9 base product number and maintain identical 940nm wavelength, top-mount configuration, and regulatory compliance status. Functional substitution is direct.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting HSM9-C190?

A: HSM9-C190 is classified as Obsolete. HSM9-C192 is the Active equivalent, ensuring continued supply and manufacturing support from Broadcom Limited.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging in HSM9-C192 versus bulk packaging in HSM9-C190 affects procurement and automated assembly processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under identical ECCN and HTSUS codes. Regulatory standing is equivalent.

Q: What is the MSL rating significance for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. Standard component storage conditions apply.
