Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OK162-12-USB-OR-E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Display format and character capacity (16 x 2, 32 characters)
• Display technology (OLED)
• Physical dimensions (80.00mm x 36.00mm x 23.30mm)
• Character and dot dimensions (5.55mm H x 2.95mm W; 0.55mm W x 0.65mm H)
• Interface type (USB)
• Voltage supply range (4.75V ~ 5.25V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 80°C)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The OK162-12-USB-OW-E meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria. The primary difference is the text color specification (white instead of red), which does not affect functional substitution in applications where display color is not a critical design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OK162-12-USB-OW-E is the direct substitute for the obsolete OK162-12-USB-OR-E. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Identical mechanical form factor and mounting compatibility
• Identical electrical specifications and interface requirements
• Identical display resolution and character dimensions
• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain support
• RoHS compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards

The text color difference (white versus red) represents the only functional distinction and should be evaluated based on specific application requirements and user interface design constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OK162-12-USB-OW-E be used as a direct replacement for the OK162-12-USB-OR-E?

A: Yes. The OK162-12-USB-OW-E is mechanically and electrically compatible with the OK162-12-USB-OR-E. Both modules share identical display format, character capacity, physical dimensions, interface type, and electrical specifications. The primary difference is text color (white versus red).

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

A: The OK162-12-USB-OR-E is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The OK162-12-USB-OW-E maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing support, documented supply chain availability, and compliance with current standards.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The OK162-12-USB-OR-E packaging specification is not provided. The OK162-12-USB-OW-E is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on application requirements.

Q: Does the text color difference affect electrical compatibility?

A: No. Text color is a display characteristic determined by the OLED emitter material and does not affect electrical interface, signal compatibility, or functional operation. Selection should be based on visual design requirements.

Q: Is the OK162-12-USB-OW-E RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The OK162-12-USB-OW-E is certified RoHS compliant. RoHS compliance status for the OK162-12-USB-OR-E is not specified in available documentation.
