Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PLR135/T6 is based on the following critical parameters:

Supply Voltage Compatibility: The PLR135/T6 operates within 2.4V to 5.5V. Substitute components must support overlapping or compatible voltage ranges to ensure proper circuit operation.

Fiber Optic Receiver Function: Both the main part and substitute must function as fiber optic receivers within the Photolink series, maintaining optical signal reception capability.

Manufacturer Consistency: Everlight Electronics Co Ltd manufactures both the original and substitute components, ensuring design continuity and technical support alignment.

Compliance Standards: Both components must maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings to meet regulatory and environmental requirements.

The PLR237/T10BK is identified as a substitute based on these parameters. While the PLR237/T10BK does not specify data rate or minimum receivable power in the provided documentation, it operates as an active fiber optic receiver within the same Photolink series and manufacturer ecosystem.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The PLR135/T6 is obsolete, while the PLR237/T10BK is active. Selection of the PLR237/T10BK provides access to current manufacturing, inventory availability, and ongoing technical support from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd.

Voltage Range Overlap: The PLR237/T10BK supply voltage range (3V ~ 5.5V) overlaps with the PLR135/T6 range (2.4V ~ 5.5V) across 3V to 5.5V. Applications operating at or above 3V supply voltage are compatible with the substitute component.

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements for equivalent deployment.

Packaging Availability: The PLR237/T10BK is available in tube packaging with confirmed inventory of 7512 pieces, supporting production requirements and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PLR237/T10BK directly replace the PLR135/T6 in all applications?

A: The PLR237/T10BK is compatible with applications operating at supply voltages of 3V or higher. Applications requiring operation below 3V supply voltage are not compatible with this substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status of the PLR135/T6?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the PLR135/T6 is no longer manufactured or supported by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. The PLR237/T10BK, classified as active, represents the current alternative within the Photolink series.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two components?

A: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent regulatory and environmental compliance.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The PLR237/T10BK is supplied in tube packaging. The original PLR135/T6 packaging specification is not provided in the available documentation.

Q: How does the voltage range difference affect circuit design?

A: The PLR237/T10BK minimum supply voltage is 3V, compared to 2.4V for the PLR135/T6. Circuits designed for the original part operating below 3V require redesign or alternative components for the substitute.

Q: Are both components from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes, both the PLR135/T6 and PLR237/T10BK are manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd and belong to the Photolink series.
