OPV314YF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPV314YF is an 850nm laser diode module with 0.5mW output power and 20mA current rating, designed for panel mount applications with FC connector termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new designs requiring similar functionality.

The OPV314YF operates at a wavelength of 850nm, a standard infrared wavelength used in fiber optic communications, sensing, and measurement applications. Substitution is required due to product discontinuation while maintaining compatibility with existing panel mount installations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the OPV314YF are identified based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence:

• Wavelength: 850nm (exact match required for optical system compatibility)
• Package Configuration: Panel mount form factor with connector termination
• Manufacturer: TT Electronics/Optek Technology (same product family, OPV314 base series)
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1

The substitute parts OPV314YAT and OPV314YBT share the same wavelength, panel mount configuration, and manufacturer lineage. Both are active products, addressing the obsolescence of the OPV314YF. Differences in power output, current rating, input voltage, and connector type (ST vs. FC) represent design variations within the same product family and must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between OPV314YAT and OPV314YBT as substitutes for the obsolete OPV314YF must account for the following factors:

Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the original part.

The primary differentiation between substitutes lies in connector type: the OPV314YF uses FC connectors, while both OPV314YAT and OPV314YBT employ ST connectors. This connector change requires mechanical interface modification in the host system. Additionally, OPV314YAT and OPV314YBT operate at reduced current (7mA vs. 20mA) and lower input voltage (2.2V vs. unspecified for OPV314YF), representing different electrical operating points within the 850nm laser diode family.

OPV314YAT provides specified power output of 1.4mW, exceeding the original 0.5mW specification. OPV314YBT does not specify power output but shares identical electrical parameters with OPV314YAT. Selection should be based on application-specific power requirements and connector compatibility with existing optical interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OPV314YAT or OPV314YBT directly replace OPV314YF without modification?

A: Direct replacement requires connector interface modification. The OPV314YF uses FC connectors while both substitutes use ST connectors. Mechanical and optical interface changes are necessary.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The OPV314YF is classified as obsolete. OPV314YAT and OPV314YBT are active products from the same manufacturer and product family, providing continued availability.

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically compatible?

A: Both substitutes operate at 850nm wavelength, matching the original specification. However, electrical parameters differ: substitutes require 2.2V input and draw 7mA, compared to the original 20mA specification. System power supply and control circuitry must accommodate these differences.

Q: Do substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both OPV314YAT and OPV314YBT are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 rating, matching the compliance profile of OPV314YF.

Q: What is the difference between OPV314YAT and OPV314YBT?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.2V, 7mA, 850nm). OPV314YAT specifies 1.4mW power output; OPV314YBT does not provide power specification. Packaging differs: OPV314YAT is supplied in bulk, OPV314YBT in trays.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application power requirements and packaging preferences. OPV314YAT provides explicit power specification (1.4mW) suitable for applications requiring defined optical output. Both parts are active products with equivalent compliance and reliability characteristics.
