These parameters ensure direct compatibility with existing PCB designs and optical system requirements.

Performance Enhancement: The substitute part delivers higher luminous flux output (161mW vs. 111mW) and improved thermal characteristics (11°C/W vs. 13°C/W), providing performance benefits within the same form factor.

Handling and Storage: Identical moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks) ensures equivalent handling, storage, and reflow requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MLEROY-A1-0000-000402 be used as a direct replacement for the MLCROY-A1-0000-000202 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package configuration (4-SMD, J-Lead Exposed Pad), physical dimensions (4.60mm x 3.15mm x 1.33mm max height), and electrical interface (3.2V forward voltage). No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part operates at higher test current (150mA vs. 100mA), supports higher maximum current (350mA vs. 250mA), delivers greater luminous flux output (161mW vs. 111mW), and exhibits improved thermal resistance (11°C/W vs. 13°C/W). Wavelength, color, forward voltage, and viewing angle remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the main part packaging format is unspecified in the provided data. Both parts maintain identical component-level specifications and handling requirements (MSL 2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: Does the substitute part meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification, confirming equivalent regulatory compliance for all markets.

Q: Why is the main part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The substitute part represents the active continuation within the XLamp® ML-E series, offering equivalent functionality with enhanced performance characteristics.

Q: Are there thermal management considerations when switching to the substitute?

A: The substitute part exhibits lower thermal resistance (11°C/W vs. 13°C/W), indicating improved heat dissipation. This represents a thermal advantage and does not impose additional cooling requirements compared to the main part.
