Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PLED13SW is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 13V
• Clamping Voltage: 26V
• Technology: LED Shunt
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The PLED13S qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PLED13S is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete PLED13SW. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory compliance certifications. The PLED13S maintains active product status with Littelfuse Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Selection of the PLED13S is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications requiring LED protection at 13V with 26V clamping voltage. The component is ROHS3 compliant and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, meeting standard industrial reliability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PLED13S directly replace PLED13SW in existing designs?

A: Yes. The PLED13S is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the PLED13SW. Both components feature identical voltage ratings (13V), clamping voltage (26V), package type (DO-214AA, SMB), and mounting configuration (surface mount). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between PLED13SW and PLED13S?

A: The PLED13SW is obsolete, while the PLED13S maintains active product status. The PLED13S is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, whereas the PLED13SW uses standard packaging. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited). Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the PLED13S?

A: The PLED13S is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, suitable for automated assembly processes. This packaging format is standard for high-volume production environments.

Q: Are there any supply or inventory considerations?

A: The PLED13SW is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. The PLED13S is the active equivalent with established supply channels through Littelfuse Inc., ensuring reliable long-term availability for production requirements.
