Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the SE5470-004 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Wavelength: 880nm ± tolerance band
• Forward Current Rating: 100mA maximum
• Forward Voltage: 1.9V nominal operating point
• Viewing Angle: 20° beam width
• Package Configuration: Through-hole mounting
• Temperature Operating Range: Compatibility with -55°C to 125°C envelope

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Radiant Intensity output characteristics
• RoHS and environmental compliance certifications
• Product status (active vs. obsolete)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - unlimited)

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: direct wavelength equivalents (880nm-890nm range) and near-equivalent alternatives (935nm) that maintain electrical and thermal compatibility while operating within specified current and voltage parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

OED-CL-1L1 (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.) provides the closest electrical match to SE5470-004, with identical wavelength (880nm), forward current (100mA), forward voltage (1.9V), and viewing angle (20°). This component is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance. The primary design consideration is the radial package configuration, which differs from the TO-46-2 metal can of the original part. This substitution is suitable for applications where PCB layout accommodates radial lead geometry. Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) is narrower than the original specification.

OP233 (TT Electronics/Optek Technology) offers the closest wavelength proximity (890nm) within the near-infrared band, maintaining 100mA forward current capability and 20° viewing angle. Forward voltage is 2V, representing a 0.1V increase from the original 1.9V specification. This component features extended temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) exceeding the original specification and is available in active production status with ROHS3 compliance. The TO-46-2 lens top metal can package provides mechanical compatibility with original through-hole mounting requirements.

OP130 (TT Electronics/Optek Technology) operates at 935nm wavelength, representing a longer wavelength alternative suitable for applications tolerant of spectral shift. Forward current (100mA) and voltage (1.75V) remain compatible. Viewing angle is 18°, slightly narrower than the original 20°. Extended temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) and active production status with ROHS3 compliance support long-term availability. TO-46-2 lens top metal can package maintains mechanical compatibility.

All substitute components maintain RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating, and through-hole mounting capability. Selection should prioritize OED-CL-1L1 for direct electrical equivalence or OP233 for package form factor matching with the original TO-46-2 metal can configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OED-CL-1L1 be used as a direct replacement for SE5470-004 in existing PCB designs?

A: OED-CL-1L1 provides electrical equivalence (880nm, 100mA, 1.9V, 20° viewing angle) but uses radial lead geometry instead of the TO-46-2 axial configuration. PCB footprint modification is required. Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) is narrower than the original (-55°C to 125°C), limiting use in extended temperature applications.

Q: What is the wavelength difference between SE5470-004 and OP233?

A: SE5470-004 operates at 880nm while OP233 operates at 890nm, representing a 10nm shift toward longer wavelength. Both wavelengths fall within the near-infrared spectrum. Applications requiring specific wavelength matching should evaluate detector sensitivity at 890nm versus 880nm.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. SE5470-004 is RoHS Compliant. OED-CL-1L1, OP130, and OP233 are all ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: Both OP130 and OP233 offer -65°C to 125°C operating range, exceeding the original SE5470-004 specification of -55°C to 125°C. OED-CL-1L1 is limited to -25°C to 85°C.

Q: What is the forward voltage difference between substitutes?

A: SE5470-004 operates at 1.9V typical. OED-CL-1L1 matches at 1.9V. OP130 operates at 1.75V (0.15V lower). OP233 operates at 2V (0.1V higher). Circuit designs with fixed current sources are tolerant of these variations; voltage-regulated designs may require adjustment.

Q: Can OP130 be used in applications requiring 880nm wavelength?

A: OP130 operates at 935nm, a 55nm shift from the 880nm requirement. Substitution is valid only for applications where detector spectral response encompasses 935nm or where wavelength-specific matching is not critical to system function.

Q: What package considerations apply when selecting a substitute?

A: SE5470-004 uses TO-46-2 metal can with axial leads. OED-CL-1L1 uses radial lead configuration requiring different PCB footprint. OP130 and OP233 use TO-46-2 lens top metal can, maintaining mechanical compatibility with original through-hole mounting. Package selection depends on existing PCB design constraints.

Q: Are all substitutes available in active production?

A: Yes. SE5470-004 is obsolete. OED-CL-1L1, OP130, and OP233 are all in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.
