Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MOU-AO162A-OR is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Display format (16 x 2 configuration)
• Character count (32 characters)
• Alphanumeric display type
• USB interface compatibility
• Physical dimensions (80.00mm x 36.00mm x 23.97mm)
• Voltage supply range (4.75V ~ 5.25V)
• Operating temperature range (0°C ~ 50°C)
• Character dimensions (5.55mm H x 2.95mm W)

The MOU-AO162A-OW meets all critical substitution parameters. This part maintains identical display format, character count, interface type, physical dimensions, voltage specifications, operating temperature range, and character size. The primary difference is the text color (white instead of red) and product status (Active instead of Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison
