Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OK162-12-USB-OG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Display Configuration: 16x2 character format with 32-character capacity
• Display Technology: OLED type with matching dot size (0.55mm W x 0.65mm H)
• Physical Dimensions: Identical outline (80.00mm x 36.00mm x 23.30mm) and viewing area (66.00mm x 16.00mm)
• Character Dimensions: Matching character size (5.55mm H x 2.95mm W)
• Electrical Interface: USB connectivity with 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range
• Operating Environment: Temperature range -20°C to 70°C
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 classification

The OK162-12-USB-OY meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is the text color (yellow versus green) and product status (active versus obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OK162-12-USB-OY is the designated substitute for the obsolete OK162-12-USB-OG. Both modules share identical electrical, mechanical, and functional specifications with the exception of text color presentation. The substitute part carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, providing advantages for new designs and long-term component availability.

Selection of the OK162-12-USB-OY is appropriate for applications where the green text color of the original part is not a critical functional requirement. The yellow text color output of the substitute maintains equivalent luminosity and readability characteristics within the same OLED display technology platform.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OK162-12-USB-OY directly replace the OK162-12-USB-OG in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both modules are mechanically and electrically identical. The primary difference is text color (yellow versus green). Direct substitution is possible provided the application does not require the specific green text color output.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two modules?

A: Yes. Both modules have identical outline dimensions (80.00mm x 36.00mm x 23.30mm) and viewing area (66.00mm x 16.00mm). No mechanical redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The OK162-12-USB-OG is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The OK162-12-USB-OY maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing supply and support from the manufacturer.

Q: Do both modules operate at the same supply voltage?

A: Yes. Both modules operate within the 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range and are compatible with identical power supply specifications.

Q: Is the OK162-12-USB-OY RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The OK162-12-USB-OY carries RoHS compliance certification. RoHS status for the original OK162-12-USB-OG is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these modules?

A: The OK162-12-USB-OG packaging is not specified. The OK162-12-USB-OY is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.
