OD-880LHT Infrared Emitter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OD-880LHT is an Infrared (IR) Emitter operating at 880nm wavelength, rated for 100mA DC forward current with a forward voltage of 1.55V typical. The device is housed in a TO-46-2 Lens Top Metal Can package with a 35° viewing angle and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

The OD-880LHT is classified as Obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for system redesign, production continuation, or long-term supply chain planning when original inventory becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OD-880LHT is evaluated based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Package / Case: TO-46-2 Lens Top Metal Can (mechanical fit and thermal characteristics)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (circuit board integration)
• Current - DC Forward (If) Max: 100mA (electrical rating compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 150°C (environmental operation)
• Type: Infrared (IR) Emitter (functional category)

Secondary Consideration Parameters:

• Wavelength: 880nm (application-specific performance)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) Typical: 1.55V (circuit design impact)
• Viewing Angle: 35° (optical performance)

The OD-850LHT is identified as a substitute part. While it operates at a different wavelength (850nm instead of 880nm) and exhibits different optical characteristics (70° viewing angle versus 35°), it shares identical electrical ratings (100mA maximum forward current), the same package type (TO-46-2), identical mounting methodology (Through Hole), and matching operating temperature specifications (-65°C to 150°C).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

OD-850LHT as Substitute for OD-880LHT:

The OD-850LHT is available as an Active product with current inventory (820 Pcs New Original In Stock), whereas the OD-880LHT is Obsolete. Both components share identical electrical current ratings (100mA), identical package specifications (TO-46-2 Lens Top Metal Can), identical mounting methodology (Through Hole), and identical operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 150°C).

The OD-850LHT exhibits a forward voltage of 1.6V typical compared to 1.55V for the OD-880LHT, representing a 0.05V difference. The OD-850LHT operates at 850nm wavelength versus 880nm for the main part, and provides a 70° viewing angle compared to 35° for the OD-880LHT.

The OD-850LHT carries RoHS Compliant status. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.41.0000.

Selection of the OD-850LHT as a substitute requires evaluation of application-specific requirements regarding wavelength sensitivity and optical beam angle characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OD-850LHT directly replace the OD-880LHT in existing circuit designs?

A: Both components share identical electrical ratings (100mA maximum forward current), identical package types (TO-46-2 Lens Top Metal Can), and identical operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 150°C). Direct physical and electrical substitution is supported from a package and current rating perspective. Application-specific requirements regarding wavelength (880nm versus 850nm) and viewing angle (35° versus 70°) must be evaluated independently.

Q: What is the voltage difference between these two parts?

A: The OD-850LHT has a typical forward voltage of 1.6V, while the OD-880LHT operates at 1.55V typical. This represents a 0.05V difference and may require minor circuit adjustments depending on the power supply design and current limiting resistor values.

Q: Are there packaging or mounting differences between these components?

A: No. Both the OD-880LHT and OD-850LHT use identical TO-46-2 Lens Top Metal Can packaging and Through Hole mounting methodology. Physical board layout and mechanical integration remain unchanged.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two infrared emitters?

A: The primary differences are wavelength (880nm versus 850nm) and viewing angle (35° versus 70°). The OD-850LHT provides a wider optical beam angle. Electrical specifications, package type, and operating temperature ranges are identical.

Q: Is the OD-850LHT currently available?

A: Yes. The OD-850LHT is classified as Active product status with 820 Pcs New Original In Stock. The OD-880LHT is Obsolete.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the OD-850LHT?

A: The OD-850LHT is RoHS Compliant. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.41.0000. Both carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited).
