SFH 3600-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SFH 3600-Z is an active phototransistor optical sensor manufactured by ams-OSRAM USA INC., designed for infrared detection at 990nm wavelength in a 2-SMD surface mount package with top view orientation. This component is classified as an Active product with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The sensor is suitable for applications requiring near-infrared photodetection with specified collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 35V and maximum collector current of 15mA. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance parameters and compliance certifications are maintained across alternative package configurations, enabling design flexibility and supply chain optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SFH 3600-Z with the SFH 3219-Z is valid based on the following electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria:

Electrical Parameter Equivalence:

• Wavelength: Both operate at 990nm infrared detection
• Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max): Both rated at 35V
• Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): Both rated at 15mA
• Current - Dark (Id) (Max): Both rated at 50nA
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate from -40°C to 100°C

Compliance & Certification Equivalence:

• RoHS Status: Both ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both MSL 2 (1 Year)
• REACH Status: Both REACH Unaffected
• ECCN Classification: Both EAR99
• HTSUS Code: Both 8541.49.7080

Package Configuration Difference:

• SFH 3600-Z: 2-SMD package
• SFH 3219-Z: 2-PLCC package

The primary distinction between these parts is the package form factor and associated mechanical specifications (viewing angle and power dissipation capability), while all critical electrical parameters and compliance certifications remain equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SFH 3600-Z Selection Criteria: The SFH 3600-Z in 2-SMD package configuration is appropriate for applications requiring compact surface mount footprints with standard 40° viewing angle and 130mW maximum power dissipation. This part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, suitable for regulated industrial and consumer applications.

SFH 3219-Z Selection Criteria: The SFH 3219-Z in 2-PLCC package configuration provides equivalent electrical performance with enhanced viewing angle of 50° and increased power dissipation capability of 165mW. This alternative maintains identical Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected certification. Selection of the SFH 3219-Z is appropriate when PCB layout constraints favor PLCC package geometry or when applications require the extended viewing angle and thermal performance characteristics.

Compliance Assurance: Both parts satisfy identical regulatory requirements including ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS commodity code 8541.49.7080. Moisture sensitivity level MSL 2 (1 Year) applies uniformly to both configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SFH 3219-Z directly replace the SFH 3600-Z in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on equivalent wavelength (990nm), voltage rating (35V), collector current (15mA), dark current (50nA), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). However, mechanical substitution requires PCB layout modification due to package form factor difference (2-SMD versus 2-PLCC). Verify PCB footprint compatibility and mounting requirements before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are package configuration (2-SMD versus 2-PLCC), viewing angle (40° versus 50°), and maximum power dissipation (130mW versus 165mW). All electrical parameters, wavelength specification, voltage ratings, current ratings, temperature range, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both SFH 3600-Z and SFH 3219-Z are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity level MSL 2 (1 Year) and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications requiring wider optical detection angle?

A: The SFH 3219-Z provides 50° viewing angle compared to the SFH 3600-Z at 40°, making it suitable for applications requiring broader angular detection range while maintaining all other electrical specifications.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these substitute parts?

A: Inventory availability differs between parts. Verify current stock levels with your supplier, as availability may impact component selection and procurement timelines.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 2 (1 Year), indicating standard moisture sensitivity with one-year floor life under controlled storage conditions.
