Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LXZ1-PL03 is the direct substitute for the obsolete LXZ1-PL01-0048. Both components share identical mechanical specifications, package geometry, and mounting requirements, enabling direct board-level replacement without PCB redesign.

Product Status Consideration: The LXZ1-PL03 carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The LXZ1-PL01-0048 is classified as Obsolete, making it unsuitable for new production or long-term inventory planning.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Electrical Performance Differences: The LXZ1-PL03 operates at 599nm wavelength compared to 588nm for the main part, representing a 11nm shift within the amber color spectrum. The forward voltage increases from 2.15V to 2.25V (0.10V differential), which is within standard LED driver tolerance margins. The lumens per watt specification differs (18 lm/W vs. 48 lm/W at test current), reflecting different measurement conditions and device characterization.

Thermal Characterization: The LXZ1-PL03 is tested at 85°C versus 25°C for the main part, indicating enhanced thermal stability validation for the substitute component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LXZ1-PL03 be used as a direct replacement for LXZ1-PL01-0048 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 0705 (1713 Metric) SMD packages with matching footprints, dimensions (0.067" L x 0.051" W), and maximum seated heights (0.038"). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the wavelength difference between these parts, and does it affect circuit operation?

A: The LXZ1-PL03 operates at 599nm compared to 588nm for the LXZ1-PL01-0048, a difference of 11nm within the amber color spectrum. Both wavelengths fall within the amber classification. Circuit operation is not affected by this wavelength shift; however, visual color perception may show a slight difference in hue.

Q: How does the forward voltage difference (2.15V vs. 2.25V) impact LED driver design?

A: The 0.10V increase in typical forward voltage for the LXZ1-PL03 is within standard LED driver tolerance ranges. Existing driver circuits designed for the LXZ1-PL01-0048 will operate the substitute part without modification. Current limiting resistors or active current regulation will maintain proper LED operation.

Q: Why is the lumens per watt specification different between the two parts?

A: The LXZ1-PL01-0048 is characterized at 25°C test temperature, while the LXZ1-PL03 is tested at 85°C. Different test conditions produce different efficiency measurements. The 85°C test condition for the substitute part represents a more stringent thermal environment, reflecting real-world operating scenarios.

Q: Are both parts compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?

A: Yes. Both the LXZ1-PL01-0048 and LXZ1-PL03 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Q: What is the maximum current rating for both parts?

A: Both components have a maximum current rating of 700mA. The test current is 500mA for both parts. Circuit designs must not exceed the 700mA maximum rating.

Q: Is the LXZ1-PL03 available in the same packaging format as the main part?

A: The LXZ1-PL03 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the LXZ1-PL01-0048 packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Both use the same SMD package type (0705 Metric). Tape & Reel format is standard for automated assembly processes and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Why should I transition from LXZ1-PL01-0048 to LXZ1-PL03?

A: The LXZ1-PL01-0048 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited future availability. The LXZ1-PL03 carries Active product status, ensuring reliable supply, ongoing manufacturer support, and long-term design viability for new and existing production programs.
