Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The OK162-12-OW-V-E qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Display Format & Character Capacity: Both parts maintain identical 16x2 display format with 32-character capacity
• Physical Dimensions: Outline dimensions (80.00mm x 36.00mm x 25.10mm) and viewing area (66.00mm x 16.00mm) are identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing mounting configurations
• Character Size: Identical 5.55mm H x 2.95mm W character dimensions maintain visual consistency
• Electrical Interface: Both support I2C, RS-232, and TTL communication protocols
• Voltage Supply: Both operate within 9V ~ 15V supply range
• Operating Temperature Range: Both support -40°C ~ 80°C operating conditions
• Display Technology: Both utilize OLED technology with identical dot size (0.55mm W x 0.65mm H)

The primary difference is text color (red vs. white) and product status (obsolete vs. active).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OK162-12-OW-V-E is the designated substitute for the obsolete OK162-12-OR-V-E. Selection of the substitute part is justified by:

• Product Status: The OK162-12-OW-V-E maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical, mechanical, and interface parameters are identical between the two parts
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical physical dimensions and mounting footprint enable direct replacement without enclosure or PCB modifications

The only functional difference is display color (white text instead of red). Applications requiring red text display specifically should evaluate alternative display modules from the Matrix Orbital product line or other manufacturers offering red OLED character displays with equivalent specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OK162-12-OW-V-E directly replace the OK162-12-OR-V-E in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical display format (16x2), character capacity (32), physical dimensions (80.00mm x 36.00mm x 25.10mm), electrical interfaces (I2C, RS-232, TTL), and operating parameters. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is possible without design modifications.

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

A: The primary difference is display color. The OK162-12-OR-V-E features red text on black background, while the OK162-12-OW-V-E features white text on black background. Both use identical OLED technology and character sizing.

Q: Why is the OK162-12-OR-V-E classified as obsolete?

A: The part is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The OK162-12-OW-V-E serves as the active replacement, offering equivalent functionality with current regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The OK162-12-OR-V-E is specified with "-" packaging notation, while the OK162-12-OW-V-E is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts maintain identical physical dimensions and mounting characteristics.

Q: Do both parts support the same communication protocols?

A: Yes. Both the OK162-12-OR-V-E and OK162-12-OW-V-E support I2C, RS-232, and TTL interfaces, enabling compatibility with existing communication infrastructure.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these display modules?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 80°C, supporting industrial and extended temperature applications.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for these parts?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
