Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Display Format: 16 x 2 (identical)
• Number of Characters: 32 (identical)
• Display Type: OLED (identical)
• Character Size: 5.55mm H x 2.95mm W (identical)
• Outline Dimensions: 80.00mm x 36.00mm x 23.30mm (identical)
• Viewing Area: 66.00mm x 16.00mm (identical)
• Voltage - Supply: 4.75V ~ 5.25V (identical)
• Interface: USB (identical)
• Operating Temperature: -20°C ~ 70°C (identical)
• Dot Size: 0.55mm W x 0.65mm H (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the text color: the OK162-12-USB-OR displays red text, while the OK162-12-USB-OW displays white text. Both maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OK162-12-USB-OW is the active production equivalent to the obsolete OK162-12-USB-OR. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and thermal operating ranges. The OK162-12-USB-OW is RoHS Compliant and carries EAR99 classification, providing regulatory compliance for new designs and procurement.

Selection between these parts depends solely on display color requirements. If red text on black background is functionally required, the OK162-12-USB-OR remains available in existing inventory. If white text on black background is acceptable, the OK162-12-USB-OW is the recommended choice due to its active product status and continued manufacturer support.
