Equivalent & Substitute Parts for LC-10.0

Part Overview

The LC-10.0 is a light pipe assembly manufactured by Bivar Inc., classified as a single clear flexible fiber optic component with a 4mm round lens and flat top configuration. The 10-inch (254mm) flexible design enables routing through constrained spaces while maintaining optical transmission characteristics. The product is Active in status, RoHS3 Compliant, and currently in stock with 714 units available. Alternative models are identified for cases where supply constraints or specific application requirements necessitate component substitution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FLPF-10.0 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following common parameters:

Common Electrical and Mechanical Parameters:

• Identical manufacturer (Bivar Inc.)
• Matching length specification: 10.0" (254mm)
• Identical configuration: Single
• Identical type: Flexible Fiber Optic
• Matching lens style: Round with Flat Top
• Identical color: Clear
• Matching product status: Active
• Identical RoHS3 compliance
• Identical MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Identical HTSUS code: 3926.90.9985
• Identical ECCN code: EAR99

Minor Variation:

• Lens size: 4mm (LC-10.0) versus 4.2mm (FLPF-10.0)

The lens size difference of 0.2mm falls within acceptable mechanical tolerances for light pipe assemblies where optical aperture compatibility is maintained across standard interconnect designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LC-10.0 and FLPF-10.0 are Active products from Bivar Inc. with identical RoHS3 compliance and regulatory classification (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985). The FLPF-10.0 provides slightly higher inventory availability (743 units versus 714 units). Both components satisfy identical moisture sensitivity and compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific lens aperture requirements relative to the 4mm and 4.2mm specifications provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FLPF-10.0 be used as a direct replacement for LC-10.0? A: The FLPF-10.0 shares all critical parameters with LC-10.0, including length, configuration, lens style, color, and compliance certifications. The lens size variation of 0.2mm (4mm versus 4.2mm) must be evaluated against your specific application interconnect design.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both components are RoHS3 Compliant, share identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited), and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts? A: Both LC-10.0 and FLPF-10.0 are supplied in Bag packaging.

Q: How do the lens specifications differ? A: LC-10.0 features a 4mm round flat-top lens, while FLPF-10.0 features a 4.2mm round flat-top lens. This 0.2mm difference affects the optical aperture diameter and should be verified against your mechanical interface requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected based on current availability? A: FLPF-10.0 has marginally higher inventory (743 units) compared to LC-10.0 (714 units). Both parts are readily available. Selection should prioritize lens size compatibility with your application.

Q: Are there any regulatory or environmental considerations? A: Both parts maintain identical regulatory status. FLPF-10.0 carries additional REACH Unaffected documentation; however, this does not create additional compliance obligations for either component.
