Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SFH 2711 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for wavelength detection, response characteristics, voltage ratings, thermal performance, and physical form factor to ensure functional compatibility within existing circuit designs.

The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

• Wavelength: 580nm (exact match required)
• Spectral Range: 470nm ~ 670nm (exact match required)
• Diode Type: PIN (exact match required)
• Response Time: 60ns (exact match required)
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) Max: 16V (exact match required)
• Current - Dark (Typ): 10pA (exact match required)
• Active Area: 0.35mm² (exact match required)
• Viewing Angle: 110° (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 100°C (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
