LTS-367G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LTS-367G is a 7-segment LED display module manufactured by Lite-On Inc., designed for numeric and character display applications. This single-character green display operates as a common cathode configuration with a 0.36" digit height, suitable for panel-mount and PCB integration in industrial and consumer electronics. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for standard operating environments without special handling requirements.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support design flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative specifications better suit specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LTS-367G is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Display Configuration: Single-character 7-segment format with common cathode topology
• Physical Dimensions: 0.36" digit height and 10-DIP package footprint (0.200", 5.08mm pitch)
• Optical Specification: Green color at 565nm peak wavelength
• Electrical Operating Point: 20mA test current with forward voltage in the range of 2.1V to 2.2V
• Compliance & Certification: RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The SC36-11GWA from Kingbright meets all substitution criteria within these defined parameters. Minor variations in forward voltage (2.1V vs. 2.2V) and brightness rating (2mcd vs. 3.5mcd) remain within acceptable tolerance for common cathode 7-segment display applications and do not affect circuit-level compatibility when proper current-limiting resistors are employed.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LTS-367G and SC36-11GWA are active production parts with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, indicating equivalent environmental and regulatory standing. The SC36-11GWA offers a marginal brightness advantage (3.5mcd vs. 2mcd) and lower maximum power dissipation (62.5mW vs. 75mW), making it suitable for applications where reduced thermal load is beneficial. The forward voltage difference of 0.1V (2.1V to 2.2V) is negligible in typical circuit designs employing standard current-limiting resistor networks. Physical dimensions are equivalent within manufacturing tolerance. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, lead time, and cost considerations, as both meet identical functional and compliance requirements for 7-segment display applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC36-11GWA be used as a direct replacement for LTS-367G without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical display configuration (common cathode 7-segment), package type (10-DIP), digit height (0.36"), and test current (20mA). The forward voltage difference of 0.1V does not require circuit redesign when standard current-limiting resistor calculations are applied.

Q: What is the significance of the brightness rating difference (2mcd vs. 3.5mcd)?

A: The SC36-11GWA provides higher luminous intensity. This difference is application-dependent; higher brightness may be preferred in high-ambient-light environments, while lower brightness may reduce power consumption in controlled lighting conditions. Both ratings are suitable for standard numeric display applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are housed in 10-DIP packages with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. Dimensional variations (0.291" W vs. 0.295" W, and 0.332" D vs. 0.335" D) are within standard manufacturing tolerance and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Do both parts require identical handling and storage conditions?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard component storage practices apply to both.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both LTS-367G and SC36-11GWA are RoHS3 compliant and carry ECCN EAR99 classification. Both are subject to the same regulatory framework for electronic component distribution.
