Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SA36-11GWA serves as a direct substitute for the LTS-360G based on matching primary electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components are active products with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming suitability for current manufacturing and regulatory requirements.

The SA36-11GWA exhibits a 0.1V higher forward voltage (2.2V vs. 2.1V) and increased luminous intensity (3.5mcd vs. 2mcd), while maintaining identical package footprint and pin configuration. The lower maximum power dissipation (62.5mW vs. 75mW) reflects improved efficiency characteristics. Physical dimensions remain within standard 10-DIP tolerance ranges.

Component selection between LTS-360G and SA36-11GWA depends on circuit design requirements for forward voltage tolerance and brightness specifications. Both parts maintain electrical compatibility with standard logic-level driver circuits operating at 5V or 3.3V supply voltages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA36-11GWA replace LTS-360G in existing PCB designs without layout modifications?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 10-DIP (0.200", 5.08mm) package footprints and pin configurations. Physical dimensions are within standard tolerance ranges for DIP package specifications, confirming direct PCB compatibility without layout changes.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.1V forward voltage difference between these parts?

A: The SA36-11GWA operates at 2.2V typical forward voltage compared to 2.1V for the LTS-360G. This difference is within standard LED operating tolerances and does not affect circuit functionality in designs using current-limiting resistors. Standard driver circuits accommodate this variation without modification.

Q: Why does SA36-11GWA have higher brightness (3.5mcd vs. 2mcd)?

A: The increased millicandela rating reflects improved luminous efficiency in the Kingbright design. Applications requiring higher display visibility benefit from this characteristic. Designs sensitive to brightness levels should account for this difference when selecting between parts.

Q: Are both parts suitable for RoHS-compliant manufacturing?

A: Yes. Both LTS-360G and SA36-11GWA carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, confirming compliance with current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these 7-segment displays?

A: Both components are supplied in Tube packaging, standard for DIP-format electronic components. Tube packaging provides protection during storage and handling while maintaining component accessibility for automated assembly processes.

Q: How do the power dissipation specifications affect circuit design?

A: The LTS-360G maximum power dissipation is 75mW, while SA36-11GWA is 62.5mW. Both values are well within thermal management capabilities of standard PCB designs. The lower dissipation of SA36-11GWA indicates improved efficiency without affecting thermal design requirements for typical applications.
