Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the OV13860-GA5A is based on the following criteria derived from provided specifications:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer alignment (OmniVision Technologies Inc)
• Functional category (Optical Sensors)
• Component type (Image Sensor)
• Product status transition (from Obsolete to Active)

The OV13870-GA5A qualifies as a substitute part based on shared manufacturer origin and identical functional classification as an image sensor within the optical sensors category. Both components are produced by OmniVision Technologies Inc and serve the same functional role in imaging applications. The OV13870-GA5A maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support, which addresses the primary limitation of the obsolete OV13860-GA5A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

OV13860-GA5A Status Consideration: The OV13860-GA5A is classified as obsolete. While current inventory of 906 pieces is available, this represents a finite supply without manufacturer replenishment. Long-term production planning and new design implementations should not depend on this component.

OV13870-GA5A Selection Basis: The OV13870-GA5A is an active product manufactured by the same supplier (OmniVision Technologies Inc) and classified within the identical functional category (Optical Sensors, Image Sensor type). This component demonstrates RoHS compliance, indicating alignment with current environmental and regulatory standards. Active product status ensures continued manufacturer support, technical documentation availability, and supply chain reliability.

Compliance Consideration: The OV13870-GA5A's RoHS Compliant status provides regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental compliance requirements. The OV13860-GA5A's ECCN classification (EAR99) should be cross-referenced with applicable export control requirements for your specific application and jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason the OV13860-GA5A requires a substitute? A: The OV13860-GA5A is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and no future availability from OmniVision Technologies Inc. Substitute identification ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Q: Why is the OV13870-GA5A identified as a substitute? A: The OV13870-GA5A is manufactured by the same supplier (OmniVision Technologies Inc), belongs to the identical product category (Optical Sensors), and serves the same functional role (Image Sensor). Critically, it maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there electrical or mechanical parameter differences between these parts? A: The provided specifications do not include detailed electrical parameters (voltage supply, operating temperature) or mechanical parameters (package type, pixel size, active pixel array) for either component. System integration decisions must be based on complete technical datasheets from OmniVision Technologies Inc.

Q: What does MSL 3 (168 Hours) indicate for the OV13860-GA5A? A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 with 168-hour floor life indicates the component's moisture absorption characteristics and handling requirements during assembly operations. This specification applies to the OV13860-GA5A; equivalent MSL data for the OV13870-GA5A is not provided in available specifications.

Q: Is the OV13870-GA5A RoHS compliant? A: Yes, the OV13870-GA5A is RoHS Compliant. RoHS compliance status for the OV13860-GA5A is not provided in available specifications.

Q: Can I use remaining OV13860-GA5A inventory alongside OV13870-GA5A components? A: Both components are manufactured by OmniVision Technologies Inc and serve identical functional roles. However, compatibility determination requires complete technical datasheets and system-level design review to confirm electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What inventory status should influence my selection? A: The OV13860-GA5A has 906 pieces in stock; the OV13870-GA5A has 657 pieces in stock. For new designs or long-term production, the OV13870-GA5A's active status takes precedence over current inventory levels, as the OV13860-GA5A represents a finite, non-replenishable supply.
