SD5630-002 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SD5630-002 is an optical sensor manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, designed as a photo detector with logic output in a TO-46-3 Lens Top Metal Can package. This component operates at 935nm wavelength and provides open collector output for digital signal processing applications.

The SD5630-002 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for ongoing system maintenance, design updates, and procurement continuity when original inventory becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SD5630-002 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Wavelength Compatibility: The substitute must operate at 935nm to maintain optical system alignment and sensor responsivity characteristics.

Functional Type: The substitute must be a photo detector with logic output capability to preserve signal processing functionality.

Output Configuration: The substitute must provide open collector output to ensure compatibility with existing pull-up resistor networks and downstream logic circuits.

Environmental Operating Range: The substitute must support the required temperature range for the application environment.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute must maintain RoHS and REACH compliance status for supply chain and regulatory requirements.

Package Consideration: While the original uses TO-46-3 Lens Top Metal Can, substitute packages may differ if electrical and optical performance parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OPL801-OC from TT Electronics/Optek Technology is identified as a substitute for the SD5630-002 based on matching wavelength (935nm), functional type (photo detector with logic output), and regulatory compliance (RoHS and REACH).

Product Status Advantage: The OPL801-OC maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support compared to the obsolete SD5630-002.

Temperature Range Extension: The OPL801-OC supports an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C) compared to the SD5630-002 (-40°C ~ 100°C), providing broader environmental compatibility.

Output Logic Difference: The OPL801-OC provides open collector inverter output, whereas the SD5630-002 provides standard open collector output. This difference requires circuit-level evaluation to confirm signal polarity compatibility with downstream logic.

Package Difference: The OPL801-OC uses TO-18 small package versus the TO-46-3 Lens Top Metal Can of the SD5630-002. Physical mounting and optical alignment must be verified for the specific application.

Compliance Status: Both components maintain equivalent regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH, MSL Level 1), supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OPL801-OC directly replace the SD5630-002 without circuit modifications?

A: The OPL801-OC matches the SD5630-002 in wavelength, functional type, and regulatory compliance. However, the OPL801-OC provides open collector inverter output while the SD5630-002 provides standard open collector output. Signal polarity must be verified in the application circuit. Additionally, the package difference (TO-18 versus TO-46-3) requires physical mounting verification.

Q: What is the significance of the "Open Collector Inverter" output in the OPL801-OC?

A: Open collector inverter output inverts the logic state compared to standard open collector output. In the OPL801-OC, a detected optical signal produces a low output state, whereas standard open collector produces a high output state. The application circuit must accommodate this polarity difference through logic inversion or circuit redesign.

Q: Are there any temperature range limitations when substituting the OPL801-OC for the SD5630-002?

A: The OPL801-OC supports a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C) than the SD5630-002 (-40°C ~ 100°C). If the application operates within the SD5630-002 range, the OPL801-OC is compatible. If the application requires temperatures below -40°C or above 100°C, the OPL801-OC provides additional margin.

Q: Does the package change from TO-46-3 to TO-18 affect optical performance?

A: Both packages are hermetic metal can designs with optical windows. The TO-18 small package is physically smaller than the TO-46-3 Lens Top Metal Can. Optical alignment, mounting geometry, and lens characteristics must be evaluated for the specific application to ensure equivalent optical performance.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The SD5630-002 is RoHS Compliant, and the OPL801-OC is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements for supply chain and regulatory purposes.

Q: What is the inventory status for each component?

A: The SD5630-002 has 690 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The OPL801-OC has 2007 pieces in stock (active status). The active status and higher inventory of the OPL801-OC support long-term procurement reliability.
