Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SD5630-001 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Functional Parameters:

• Wavelength: 935nm (infrared detection band)
• Sensor Type: Photo Detector with Logic Output capability
• Output Type: Open Collector (digital switching output)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range compatibility
• RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating

Physical Considerations:

• Package form factor (TO-46-3 versus alternative TO packages)

The OPL800-OC from TT Electronics / Optek Technology meets the functional and compliance requirements as a substitute. While the package differs (TO-18 small versus TO-46-3 Lens Top Metal Can), both are hermetic metal can packages suitable for optical sensor applications. The substitute maintains identical wavelength, sensor type, and output configuration specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For SD5630-001 Replacement:

The OPL800-OC is qualified as a functional substitute based on matching wavelength (935nm), identical sensor type (Photo Detector with Logic Output), and identical output configuration (Open Collector). Both components maintain equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance status with unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings.

The OPL800-OC offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 110°C versus -40°C to 100°C), providing broader environmental tolerance. The component is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete SD5630-001.

Package Consideration:

The primary difference is the package form factor: TO-18 small (OPL800-OC) versus TO-46-3 Lens Top Metal Can (SD5630-001). Both are hermetic metal can packages. PCB layout and mechanical mounting must be evaluated for compatibility with the smaller TO-18 footprint. Optical performance characteristics remain equivalent at the specified 935nm wavelength.

Compliance Status:

Both components satisfy RoHS and REACH requirements. The OPL800-OC carries ROHS3 certification, representing current compliance standards. No regulatory barriers exist for substitution in applications requiring these certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OPL800-OC directly replace the SD5630-001 in existing designs?

A: Functional replacement is supported based on matching wavelength, sensor type, and output configuration. Physical package differences (TO-18 versus TO-46-3) require PCB layout verification. Mechanical mounting and optical alignment must be confirmed for the smaller TO-18 form factor.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Wavelength (935nm), sensor type (Photo Detector with Logic Output), and output type (Open Collector) are the primary functional determinants. Operating temperature range, RoHS compliance, and moisture sensitivity level must also align with application requirements.

Q: Is the OPL800-OC suitable for applications requiring the full -40°C to 100°C temperature range?

A: Yes. The OPL800-OC operates across -55°C to 110°C, which encompasses the SD5630-001 temperature specification. The extended range provides additional margin for demanding thermal environments.

Q: Are there compliance concerns with substituting the SD5630-001?

A: No compliance barriers exist. Both components are RoHS and REACH compliant. The OPL800-OC carries current ROHS3 certification, meeting modern regulatory standards.

Q: What is the primary design consideration when switching from SD5630-001 to OPL800-OC?

A: Package form factor is the primary consideration. The TO-18 small package is physically smaller than the TO-46-3 Lens Top Metal Can. PCB footprint, mounting hardware, and optical lens positioning must be re-evaluated for the new package geometry.

Q: Is the OPL800-OC available in production quantities?

A: Yes. The OPL800-OC is in active production status with current inventory availability, unlike the obsolete SD5630-001. This ensures reliable long-term supply for new designs and ongoing support applications.
