Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SFH 2716 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wavelength Matching: The substitute part must operate at 620nm to maintain spectral response characteristics in the target application.

Diode Configuration: PIN diode type is required to preserve photodiode operational characteristics and signal processing behavior.

Electrical Specifications: Maximum reverse voltage (16 V) and active area (0.35mm²) must remain constant to ensure circuit compatibility and sensor performance.

Optical Properties: Viewing angle (120°) and spectral range (350nm ~ 1000nm) define the sensor's field of view and detection bandwidth.

Package Compatibility: The 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) must be maintained for reliability in target environments.

The SFH 2716 A01 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing a direct functional and mechanical equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SFH 2716 A01 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete SFH 2716. Both components share identical electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The SFH 2716 A01 carries an Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The original SFH 2716 is obsolete and should not be selected for new designs or production.

Compliance Status: The SFH 2716 A01 is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Packaging Difference: The primary distinction between the two parts is packaging format. The SFH 2716 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT), while the SFH 2716 A01 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). This difference affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact component functionality or performance.

Dark Current Specification: The SFH 2716 A01 exhibits a lower typical dark current (10pA) compared to the SFH 2716 (5nA). This represents improved performance characteristics in the substitute part.

For all new applications and component replacements, the SFH 2716 A01 is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SFH 2716 A01 be used as a direct replacement for the SFH 2716?

A: Yes. The SFH 2716 A01 is functionally and mechanically equivalent to the SFH 2716 across all critical parameters including wavelength, diode type, voltage rating, active area, viewing angle, operating temperature range, and package dimensions. Both components are 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount photodiodes with identical electrical specifications.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components in individual strips cut from the reel, suitable for manual assembly or small-volume production. Tape & Reel packaging maintains components on the continuous reel, optimized for high-volume automated assembly processes. The components themselves are identical; only the delivery format differs.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the SFH 2716 and SFH 2716 A01?

A: The SFH 2716 A01 demonstrates lower typical dark current (10pA versus 5nA), representing improved performance. All other electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Why is the SFH 2716 classified as obsolete?

A: The SFH 2716 has reached end-of-life status with the manufacturer. The SFH 2716 A01 is the active replacement part and should be used for all new designs and production applications.

Q: Does the SFH 2716 A01 meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. The SFH 2716 A01 is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution in regulated markets.

Q: Will the SFH 2716 A01 fit the same PCB footprint as the SFH 2716?

A: Yes. Both components use the 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package with identical mechanical dimensions and pin configuration, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts without design modification.
