Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDLS-40466-SS-G-HV-LED-04-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Display specifications: 40 x 4 format with 160 characters, 5 x 8 dot character matrix, STN display type, and transflective display mode must remain constant.

Electrical interface: Parallel interface with 5V supply voltage is mandatory for direct substitution.

Physical dimensions: Outline dimensions of 196.00mm x 56.00mm x 11.30mm and viewing area of 154.40mm x 27.60mm must be maintained.

Backlight configuration: LED green backlight is required.

Operating environment: Temperature range of -10°C ~ 60°C must be supported.

The substitute part MDLS-40466-GHVLED4G meets all these criteria and belongs to the same MDL(S)-40466 series, confirming its status as a direct equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDLS-40466-GHVLED4G be used as a direct replacement for MDLS-40466-SS-G-HV-LED-04-G?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in display format (40 x 4), character specifications (5 x 8 dots), display type (STN transflective), backlight configuration (LED green), electrical interface (parallel, 5V), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. MDLS-40466-SS-G-HV-LED-04-G is obsolete, while MDLS-40466-GHVLED4G is active. The substitute part also carries RoHS compliance certification. The part numbers reflect different packaging and designation conventions from Varitronix, but the functional specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part number does not specify packaging details. The substitute part MDLS-40466-GHVLED4G is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Display format (40 x 4), character matrix (5 x 8 dots), display type (STN), display mode (transflective), backlight (LED green), interface (parallel), supply voltage (5V), physical dimensions (196.00mm x 56.00mm x 11.30mm), and operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 60°C) must all remain constant for direct substitution.

Q: Is the substitute part compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. MDLS-40466-GHVLED4G is RoHS compliant and carries the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications as the original part, confirming regulatory equivalence.
