LPA-C011306S-30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LPA-C011306S-30 is a custom light pipe manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. It is a single clear rigid panel mount light pipe with press-fit front mounting, featuring a round lens with flat top design and 3.18mm lens size. The part is currently in active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent optical and mechanical performance can be achieved through alternative manufacturers while maintaining compatibility with the specified mounting interface, lens configuration, and environmental compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LPA-C011306S-30 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Press Fit, Front
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Type: Rigid
• Configuration: Single

Optical Parameters:

• Color: Clear
• Lens Size: 3.18mm (or equivalent nominal dimension)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 51513011000F from Dialight meets these criteria through matching mechanical mounting interface, rigid construction, single clear configuration, and equivalent lens geometry. The lens size specification of 3mm on the substitute part represents a compatible nominal dimension within the light pipe category standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LPA-C011306S-30 and 51513011000F are active products with identical compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: The substitute part 51513011000F (Dialight Optopipe® series) currently maintains higher inventory levels (2018 pcs) compared to the primary part (784 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3, REACH, and EAR99 requirements with identical MSL ratings, making either part suitable for applications with standard environmental exposure conditions.

Mechanical Interface: Both parts feature identical mounting specifications (Panel Mount, Press Fit, Front) and lens configuration (Round with Flat Top), ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in panel-mounted applications.

Lens Dimension Tolerance: The lens size difference (3.18mm vs 3mm) falls within standard light pipe dimensional tolerances for this product category and does not affect functional substitution in typical optical coupling applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 51513011000F directly replace the LPA-C011306S-30 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (Panel Mount, Press Fit, Front), lens style (Round with Flat Top), rigid construction, and single clear configuration. The lens size difference (3.18mm vs 3mm) is within standard tolerance ranges for light pipe applications and does not affect mechanical or optical compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 classification. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, making them equivalent for regulatory and environmental requirements.

Q: What is the primary reason to consider the substitute part?

A: The Dialight 51513011000F offers higher current inventory availability (2018 pcs vs 784 pcs), which may reduce lead times for procurement and support higher-volume production schedules.

Q: Does the packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (Bulk for the substitute vs standard for the primary part) does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both parts suitable for long-term supply chain planning?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Either part can be specified for new designs or design revisions requiring light pipe components with these specifications.
