Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Matching Parameters:

• Display format: 16 x 2 characters (32 total)
• Display type: OLED technology
• Interface: USB connectivity
• Physical dimensions: 80.00mm x 36.00mm x 23.30mm (identical outline)
• Viewing area: 66.00mm L x 16.00mm W (identical)
• Character size: 5.55mm H x 2.95mm W (identical)
• Dot size: 0.55mm W x 0.65mm H (identical)
• Voltage supply range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 80°C (identical)
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Distinguishing Parameter:

• Text color: Yellow (substitute) vs. Green (original)

The substitute part maintains identical mechanical, electrical, and functional specifications with the exception of display color. Both parts share the same base product number (OK162-12) and are manufactured by Matrix Orbital.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OK162-12-USB-OY-E is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete OK162-12-USB-OG-E. Both parts are manufactured by Matrix Orbital and share identical mechanical, electrical, and interface specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, providing improved supply chain availability compared to the obsolete original part.

The primary distinction between the two parts is display color: the substitute provides yellow text output instead of green. This color difference does not affect electrical compatibility, mechanical fit, or functional operation. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific color requirements and visual preference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions, electrical specifications, interface protocols, and operating parameters. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is possible. The only difference is display color (yellow vs. green).

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical outline dimensions (80.00mm x 36.00mm x 23.30mm) and viewing area specifications (66.00mm x 16.00mm). Mounting and integration requirements are identical.

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

A: The original part (OK162-12-USB-OG-E) is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The substitute (OK162-12-USB-OY-E) is in active production, ensuring long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The OK162-12-USB-OY-E is RoHS compliant. The original part's RoHS status was not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are the USB interface and communication protocols identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use USB interface connectivity and operate within the same voltage supply range (4.75V ~ 5.25V) and temperature range (-40°C ~ 80°C).

Q: What is the primary consideration when choosing between these two parts?

A: Display color is the primary selection criterion. Choose the OK162-12-USB-OY-E (yellow text) if color-specific requirements are not mandated by the application. For applications requiring green text specifically, alternative display modules from other manufacturers may be necessary.
