Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LPC_120_CTP is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Configuration: Single
• Type: Rigid
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Clamping
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Lens Size: 4.83mm
• Color: Clear
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Packaging: Bulk

The LPC_125_CTP meets all specified substitution criteria and is identified as a direct equivalent part. Both components share identical mechanical, optical, and environmental compliance characteristics. The primary distinction between these parts is their product lifecycle status and current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Existing Designs Using LPC_120_CTP:

The LPC_125_CTP is a direct functional equivalent with identical mechanical, optical, and environmental specifications. The LPC_120_CTP carries "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it has been superseded in the product lifecycle. The LPC_125_CTP maintains "Active" product status and is the current recommended part for ongoing applications.

Compliance Considerations:

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. No compliance barriers exist for substitution. Both parts are classified under the same HTSUS code and ECCN designation, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Inventory and Availability:

The LPC_120_CTP currently has 2092 units in stock. The LPC_125_CTP has 1851 units available. Selection between these parts should consider current inventory levels and long-term supply chain requirements, with preference toward the active product status of LPC_125_CTP for future-oriented applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LPC_125_CTP be used as a direct replacement for LPC_120_CTP in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The LPC_125_CTP is a direct equivalent. All mechanical dimensions, optical properties, mounting configuration, and environmental compliance parameters are identical. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on LPC_120_CTP?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's product lifecycle. While existing inventory remains available for support and maintenance, new designs should utilize the LPC_125_CTP, which carries "Active" status.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between LPC_120_CTP and LPC_125_CTP?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging with identical specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both LPC_120_CTP and LPC_125_CTP are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this light pipe category?

A: Substitution is determined by matching configuration (single), type (rigid), mounting method (panel mount clamping), lens style (round with flat top), lens size (4.83mm), color (clear), and all environmental compliance certifications.

Q: Is there any performance difference between these two part numbers?

A: No performance differences exist. Both parts share identical specifications for lens size, optical clarity, mounting characteristics, and environmental ratings.
