LPA-C011301S-23 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LPA-C011301S-23 is a 3mm single light pipe from Lumex Opto/Components Inc., designed for SMT vertical board mount applications with press-fit installation. This component is part of the TransBrite™ series and features a clear rigid construction with a round flat-top lens geometry. The part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or procurement preferences necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LPA-C011301S-23 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Lens Size: 3mm (fixed requirement)
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top (optical geometry requirement)
• Configuration: Single unit (functional requirement)
• Type: Rigid construction (mechanical requirement)
• Mounting Type: Board Mount, Press Fit (assembly compatibility requirement)
• Color: Clear (optical transmission requirement)
• Series: TransBrite™ (product line consistency)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected (regulatory requirement)

The substitute part LPA-C011301S-20 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters, differing only in internal pipe length designation (20mm vs. 23mm suffix notation). Both parts share the same base product number LPA-C011301 and are manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LPA-C011301S-23 and LPA-C011301S-20 are Active products with identical electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: LPA-C011301S-20 maintains significantly higher inventory (70365 units) compared to LPA-C011301S-23 (682 units), making it suitable for high-volume procurement or extended lead-time mitigation.

Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory equivalence for all applications.

Functional Equivalence: Identical lens geometry (3mm round flat-top), mounting method (board mount press-fit), and material composition (clear rigid) ensure direct functional substitution in circuit board assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LPA-C011301S-20 be used as a direct replacement for LPA-C011301S-23?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for lens size, lens style, configuration, mounting type, color, and compliance ratings. The suffix designation (20 vs. 23) reflects internal pipe length variation that does not affect board-level compatibility or optical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 ratings. They are equivalent for all regulatory and environmental requirements.

Q: What is the primary reason to select LPA-C011301S-20 over LPA-C011301S-23?

A: Inventory availability. LPA-C011301S-20 has substantially higher stock levels, reducing procurement lead time and supporting larger production volumes.

Q: Do these parts require different mounting procedures?

A: No. Both parts use identical board mount press-fit installation methods and are compatible with the same assembly equipment and processes.

Q: Are the optical properties identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature clear rigid construction with 3mm round flat-top lens geometry, providing equivalent light transmission and optical performance.
