Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SC616J is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Range: 6–16V DC
• Frequency: 2.9kHz
• Sound Pressure Level: 68dB @ 6V, 61cm
• Current Supply: 2–9mA
• Operating Mode: Pulse, Slow
• Duration: 0.5–2.5 PPS
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Termination: Screw Terminal, Quick Connect Tab – 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Physical Dimensions: 1.687" Dia (42.85mm), Height 1.399" (35.54mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: –30°C to 65°C

The SC616JR is classified as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC616J is obsolete and no longer in active production. The SC616JR provides functional and electrical equivalence with the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection of SC616JR is appropriate for applications requiring current component availability and regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards. Both components share identical electrical performance characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and termination specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in existing circuit designs and panel mount installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC616JR be used as a direct replacement for SC616J? A: Yes. The SC616JR maintains identical voltage range (6–16V DC), frequency (2.9kHz), sound pressure level (68dB @ 6V, 61cm), current supply (2–9mA), operating mode, duration, mounting type, termination style, and physical dimensions. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the primary difference between SC616J and SC616JR? A: The SC616J is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status. The SC616JR is an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification, providing current availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical? A: Yes. Both components have a diameter of 1.687" (42.85mm) and maximum seated height of 1.399" (35.54mm), ensuring identical panel mount fit and installation requirements.

Q: Do both parts use the same termination configuration? A: Yes. Both SC616J and SC616JR use screw terminal and quick connect tab termination with 0.250" (6.35mm) spacing, allowing direct wiring compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts? A: Both components operate across –30°C to 65°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications.

Q: Is packaging different between the two parts? A: SC616J packaging is listed as dash (–), while SC616JR is supplied in bulk packaging. This reflects distribution format only and does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.
