LPA-C011301S-40 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LPA-C011301S-40 is a 3mm single-unit light pipe manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. as part of the TransBrite™ series. This component is a rigid board mount, press-fit light pipe with a clear color and round flat-top lens design. The part is currently Active in product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance is required due to inventory constraints, application-specific requirements, or design flexibility needs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LPA-C011301S-40 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: lens size (3mm), lens style (round with flat top), configuration (single), type (rigid), mounting method (board mount, press fit), color (clear), series designation (TransBrite™), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The substitute part LPA-C011301S-50 maintains identical specifications across all these critical parameters. The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the vertical height specification (40mm versus 50mm), which represents a dimensional variation within the same product family and base product number (LPA-C011301).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LPA-C011301S-40 and LPA-C011301S-50 are Active products with identical compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on the vertical height requirement of the application. The LPA-C011301S-40 provides a 40mm vertical dimension, while the LPA-C011301S-50 provides a 50mm vertical dimension. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance (MSL 1), and REACH unaffected status. The choice between these substitutes depends solely on the mechanical height constraint of the printed circuit board assembly and the optical path length requirement within the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LPA-C011301S-50 be used as a direct replacement for LPA-C011301S-40?

A: LPA-C011301S-50 is a substitute part with identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for vertical height. Substitution is valid only if the application accommodates the 50mm height dimension instead of 40mm. All other parameters including lens size, mounting type, color, and compliance certifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the vertical height specification. LPA-C011301S-40 has a 40mm vertical dimension, while LPA-C011301S-50 has a 50mm vertical dimension. Both parts share the same base product number (LPA-C011301) and all other functional characteristics.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both LPA-C011301S-40 and LPA-C011301S-50 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: LPA-C011301S-40 is available in standard packaging, while LPA-C011301S-50 is available in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional or mechanical equivalence.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in SMT assembly?

A: Both parts are designed for SMT vertical board mount, press-fit installation. Interchangeability depends on the PCB design accommodating the specific height dimension of the selected part.
