Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OSA-SS-212DM5000 serves as the active production equivalent to the obsolete OSA-SS-212DM5,000. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical, establishing direct functional interchangeability for circuit design and board-level replacement applications.

Product Status Consideration: The main part is obsolete with 969 units in stock. The substitute part is active with 998 units available, providing assured long-term procurement and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Difference: The main part carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The substitute part is listed as RoHS non-compliant. This distinction requires evaluation against system-level regulatory requirements. The REACH status differs between parts: the main part is REACH Unaffected, while the substitute part indicates REACH information is available upon request. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.41.0020) classifications.

Selection Basis: Choose OSA-SS-212DM5000 for new designs and ongoing production where active component status and supply availability are priorities. Verify RoHS and REACH compliance requirements against end-application specifications before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
