MOS-AL202C-FB3SE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MOS-AL202C-FB3SE is a 40-character alphanumeric LCD display module manufactured by Matrix Orbital, featuring a 20 x 2 character format with I2C, RS-232, and TTL interface options. This Economy Series module measures 116.00mm x 37.00mm x 26.10mm and operates at 5V supply voltage across a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations where this display format is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts for the MOS-AL202C-FB3SE maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications: 40-character alphanumeric display, 20 x 2 format, 5V supply voltage, I2C/RS-232/TTL interfaces, 0°C to 50°C operating temperature range, and identical physical dimensions (116.00mm x 37.00mm x 26.10mm). The substitutes differ only in text color display option while maintaining the black background. All substitute parts are currently in Active product status with RoHS compliance certification, providing improved availability compared to the obsolete main part number.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MOS-AL202C-FB3SE is obsolete and no longer in production. Direct substitution is available through four active Matrix Orbital alternatives: MOS-AL202C-FA3SE (Amber), MOS-AL202C-FG3SE (Green), MOS-AL202C-XR3SE (Red), and MOS-AL202C-XY3SE (Yellow). All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and interface protocols. All active substitutes carry RoHS compliance certification. Selection among substitutes should be based on display color requirements for your application, as all other parameters remain constant. Inventory availability is higher for all active substitutes compared to the obsolete main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MOS-AL202C-FA3SE, MOS-AL202C-FG3SE, MOS-AL202C-XR3SE, and MOS-AL202C-XY3SE be used interchangeably with MOS-AL202C-FB3SE?

A: Yes, these parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. All maintain identical 40-character, 20 x 2 alphanumeric display format, 5V supply voltage, I2C/RS-232/TTL interface options, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. The only difference is text color display.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the MOS-AL202C-FB3SE?

A: The MOS-AL202C-FB3SE is obsolete and no longer manufactured. Active substitute parts ensure continued availability for system support and new designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all four active substitute parts (MOS-AL202C-FA3SE, MOS-AL202C-FG3SE, MOS-AL202C-XR3SE, MOS-AL202C-XY3SE) are RoHS compliant.

Q: Do the substitute parts require any firmware or software modifications?

A: No modifications are required. All substitute parts share identical interface protocols (I2C, RS-232, TTL) and electrical specifications.

Q: How do I select between the available substitute colors?

A: Selection depends on your application's display visibility requirements and user interface design. All color options maintain identical brightness and contrast characteristics with black background.
