OPL536-OC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPL536-OC is an optical sensor from the Photologic® series manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology. This component functions as a 935nm photo detector with logic output and open collector inverter configuration in a 3-SIP side view package. The OPL536-OC is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain functional equivalence across optical wavelength, output type, and package configuration to ensure direct compatibility in existing applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the OPL536-OC are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Wavelength: 935nm optical detection capability
• Type: Photo detector with logic output functionality
• Output Configuration: Open collector output stage
• Package: 3-SIP side view form factor
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Series Compatibility: Photologic® series

The OPL530-OC qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While the OPL530-OC maintains open collector output (non-inverter configuration), it preserves all other critical parameters including wavelength, package type, temperature range, and series designation. The primary distinction is the output inversion characteristic; however, this represents a functional variation within the same product family rather than a fundamental incompatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OPL530-OC is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete OPL536-OC. Both components maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN classification) and share equivalent electrical and thermal specifications. The OPL530-OC holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

The primary design consideration is the output inversion characteristic. The OPL536-OC provides open collector inverter output, while the OPL530-OC provides standard open collector output. Circuit designs utilizing the OPL536-OC must account for this output logic inversion when transitioning to the OPL530-OC, potentially requiring signal conditioning or logic gate modifications depending on downstream circuit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OPL530-OC directly replace the OPL536-OC without circuit modifications?

A: Physical and electrical compatibility exists for package, wavelength, temperature range, and supply requirements. However, the output logic inversion difference between the OPL536-OC (inverter) and OPL530-OC (non-inverter) requires evaluation of the receiving circuit logic. Direct substitution is possible only if the downstream circuit logic accommodates the inverted output signal.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging options?

A: Both the OPL536-OC and OPL530-OC utilize identical 3-SIP side view package configurations, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts and socket designs.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Moisture sensitivity level is rated at MSL 1 (unlimited) for both parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Why is the OPL536-OC obsolete while the OPL530-OC remains active?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The OPL530-OC continues in active production, providing a direct path for designs requiring 935nm photo detector functionality with logic output in the Photologic® series.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental differences between the parts?

A: Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and share equivalent moisture sensitivity classifications, indicating no environmental performance differentiation.
