Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the QSE214C is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The QSE113 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 880nm wavelength detection, 50° viewing angle, 30V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 100nA maximum dark current, 100mW maximum power dissipation, through-hole mounting, side view orientation, and -40°C to 100°C operating temperature range. Both components utilize the same radial, side view package configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QSE113 is the appropriate substitute for QSE214C applications. Both components are manufactured by onsemi and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: QSE214C is obsolete while QSE113 maintains active production status. QSE113 carries RoHS3 compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and ongoing production. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. The QSE113 offers superior supply chain availability with 30,550 units in stock compared to the QSE214C's 913 units, supporting production continuity and cost efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QSE113 directly replace QSE214C in existing designs? A: Yes. The QSE113 maintains identical electrical parameters (880nm wavelength, 30V breakdown voltage, 100nA dark current, 100mW power rating) and mechanical configuration (through-hole, side view radial package). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from QSE214C to QSE113? A: QSE214C is classified as obsolete. QSE113 is an active product with equivalent specifications, ensuring long-term supply availability and design support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components? A: Both components use radial, side view package configuration suitable for through-hole PCB mounting. QSE214C is supplied in standard packaging while QSE113 is available in bulk packaging.

Q: Do compliance certifications differ between QSE214C and QSE113? A: Both maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. QSE113 carries RoHS3 compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification for both components? A: Both QSE214C and QSE113 feature a 50° viewing angle, maintaining identical optical detection characteristics.
