Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PLR135/T is based on the following critical parameters that define functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Everlight Electronics Co Ltd (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility within the Photolink series)
• Series: Photolink (maintains product line consistency)
• Supply Voltage Range: Overlap or compatibility with 2.4V ~ 5.5V specification
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)

The PLR237/T10BK qualifies as a substitute based on manufacturer alignment, series continuity, overlapping voltage specifications, and matching compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PLR237/T10BK is available as an active product from the same manufacturer and series, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete PLR135/T. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity specifications, ensuring regulatory and environmental handling compatibility.

The PLR237/T10BK operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V, which overlaps with the PLR135/T specification of 2.4V to 5.5V. Applications requiring operation below 3V supply voltage require evaluation of system requirements against the substitute's minimum voltage specification.

Selection of the PLR237/T10BK is supported by active product status, ensuring availability and manufacturer support for ongoing procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PLR237/T10BK directly replace PLR135/T in all applications?

A: Both components are manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd within the Photolink series and share ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 specifications. The PLR237/T10BK supply voltage range (3V ~ 5.5V) overlaps with the PLR135/T range (2.4V ~ 5.5V). Applications operating at supply voltages below 3V require verification against system requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status for PLR135/T?

A: Obsolete status indicates the PLR135/T is no longer manufactured or supported by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. The PLR237/T10BK, classified as active, provides continued availability and manufacturer support for equivalent functionality.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The PLR237/T10BK is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging specifications for the PLR135/T are not provided in the reference data. Packaging compatibility should be evaluated based on assembly and handling requirements.

Q: Do both components meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both the PLR135/T and PLR237/T10BK are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to these requirements.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by manufacturer alignment (Everlight Electronics Co Ltd), series continuity (Photolink), supply voltage range compatibility, RoHS compliance status, and moisture sensitivity level matching.
