Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PLR135/T10 is based on the following critical parameters:

Voltage Supply Compatibility: The PLR135/T10 operates within 2.4V to 5.5V. Substitute components must support this voltage range or a range that encompasses it.

Fiber Optic Receiver Function: Both the main part and substitute must function as fiber optic receivers within the Photolink series.

RoHS Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both components share MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements.

The PLR237/T10BK is identified as a direct substitute based on shared manufacturer origin, series classification, and compliance certifications. However, voltage supply range differences require engineering evaluation for specific circuit implementations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The PLR135/T10 is obsolete, while the PLR237/T10BK is active. Selection of the PLR237/T10BK provides access to current manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain continuity.

Voltage Supply Range: The PLR237/T10BK operates at 3V to 5.5V, compared to the PLR135/T10 range of 2.4V to 5.5V. Applications requiring operation below 3V cannot use the PLR237/T10BK as a direct substitute without circuit modification.

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL classification, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance.

Packaging: The PLR237/T10BK is supplied in Tube packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging specification. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly and handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PLR237/T10BK replace the PLR135/T10 in all applications?

A: The PLR237/T10BK is compatible with applications operating at supply voltages of 3V to 5.5V. Applications requiring operation at 2.4V to 2.99V require alternative solutions or circuit redesign.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The PLR135/T10 is obsolete. The PLR237/T10BK is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, providing continued availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these components?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification. No compliance barriers exist for substitution in regulated applications.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution compatibility?

A: The PLR237/T10BK is supplied in Tube packaging. Verify that your assembly process and component handling procedures accommodate this packaging format.

Q: What parameters differ between these components?

A: The primary difference is the minimum supply voltage: PLR135/T10 supports 2.4V minimum, while PLR237/T10BK requires 3V minimum. Data rate and minimum receivable power specifications are not provided for the PLR237/T10BK in the available documentation.
