IRM-8602S-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IRM-8602S-1 is a remote receiver sensor manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd, designed for infrared signal reception at 32.8kHz center frequency with an 8-meter sensing distance. This through-hole mounted optical sensor operates within the 4.5V to 5.5V supply range and draws 3mA during operation.

The IRM-8602S-1 is classified as an obsolete product. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when original stock is depleted or when design revisions require active product alternatives that maintain functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IRM-8602S-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: Top View
• Voltage Supply Range: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Current Supply: 3mA
• Sensing Distance: 8m
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 85°C (TA)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter:

• B.P.F. Center Frequency: The IRM-8602S-1 operates at 32.8kHz. Substitute parts may operate at different center frequencies provided the application circuit is designed to accept the alternative frequency.

The IRM-8602S from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd qualifies as a substitute part. It maintains identical electrical supply specifications, current draw, sensing distance, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is the B.P.F. center frequency of 38.0kHz instead of 32.8kHz. This frequency difference requires circuit-level compatibility verification in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IRM-8602S-1 (Obsolete Status): The IRM-8602S-1 is classified as obsolete. New designs should not incorporate this part number. Existing designs using this component require substitution planning for long-term supply continuity.

IRM-8602S (Active Status): The IRM-8602S is an active product from the same manufacturer with confirmed inventory availability. This part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the IRM-8602S-1 across all critical parameters except center frequency. The IRM-8602S carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.

The frequency difference between 32.8kHz and 38.0kHz represents the primary technical distinction. Selection of the IRM-8602S as a substitute requires confirmation that the receiving circuit or remote control transmitter operates at or accepts the 38.0kHz frequency band.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IRM-8602S directly replace the IRM-8602S-1 in existing designs?

A: The IRM-8602S maintains identical electrical supply voltage, current draw, sensing distance, mounting type, and operating temperature specifications. However, the center frequency differs: IRM-8602S-1 operates at 32.8kHz while IRM-8602S operates at 38.0kHz. Direct replacement is possible only if the remote control transmitter or receiving circuit is designed to operate at 38.0kHz or supports both frequencies.

Q: What is the significance of the B.P.F. center frequency difference?

A: The Band-Pass Filter (B.P.F.) center frequency determines which infrared signal frequency the sensor receives. The IRM-8602S-1 is tuned to 32.8kHz, while the IRM-8602S is tuned to 38.0kHz. These frequencies correspond to different remote control standards. Substitution requires the transmitting device to operate at the substitute frequency.

Q: Are the through-hole mounting dimensions identical?

A: Both parts are specified as through-hole mounted with top-view orientation. Detailed mechanical drawings are not provided in the available parameters. Physical dimension verification is required before PCB layout finalization.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean for the IRM-8602S?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the IRM-8602S meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements, restricting specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. This certification is relevant for applications subject to EU environmental regulations or equivalent standards.

Q: Why is the IRM-8602S-1 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production and support for this part number. The IRM-8602S represents the active alternative from the same manufacturer, maintaining functional compatibility while offering current production status and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these parts?

A: The IRM-8602S-1 shows 783 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The IRM-8602S shows 685 pieces in stock. Both parts are currently available, though the IRM-8602S-1 will not be replenished due to obsolete status.
