SFW8C32A-CE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SFW8C32A-CE is a Chip On Board (COB) LED lighting module manufactured by Seoul Semiconductor Inc., designed for warm white linear light strip applications with a color temperature of 2700K. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for continued system design and procurement. The SFW8C32A-CE delivers 210 lumens at 15mA test current with a forward voltage of 86V and efficiency of 163 lm/W, making it suitable for warm-tone architectural and decorative lighting applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SFW8C31A-CE qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Manufacturer: Seoul Semiconductor Inc. (same source)
• Type: Chip On Board (COB) linear light strip configuration
• Color: White, Warm (identical color specification)
• CCT: 2700K (identical color temperature)
• Lens Type: Flat (identical optical configuration)
• CRI: 80 (identical color rendering index)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equivalent compliance)

Differing Parameters (Design Considerations):

• Luminous Flux: 105 lm (vs. 210 lm in main part)
• Current - Test: 10mA (vs. 15mA in main part)
• Forward Voltage: 68V (vs. 86V in main part)
• Lumens/Watt: 154 lm/W (vs. 163 lm/W in main part)
• Product Status: Active (vs. Obsolete in main part)

The SFW8C31A-CE maintains identical optical and thermal characteristics while operating at reduced current and voltage levels, making it suitable for applications where the lower luminous flux output is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SFW8C31A-CE is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, providing a compliant alternative to the obsolete SFW8C32A-CE. Both parts share identical optical characteristics (2700K CCT, 80 CRI, flat lens) and are manufactured by the same supplier within the same product family (base product number SFW8C31).

Selection of the SFW8C31A-CE requires system-level evaluation of luminous flux requirements. The substitute part delivers 50% of the main part's luminous output (105 lm vs. 210 lm) at proportionally reduced current (10mA vs. 15mA) and voltage (68V vs. 86V). Applications requiring full 210 lumen output cannot use this substitute without parallel configuration or alternative sourcing.

The active product status of SFW8C31A-CE ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity, eliminating procurement risk associated with the obsolete SFW8C32A-CE.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SFW8C31A-CE directly replace the SFW8C32A-CE in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application can operate with 105 lumens instead of 210 lumens. The identical color temperature (2700K), CRI (80), and lens type (flat) ensure optical compatibility. However, the reduced luminous flux and lower operating current and voltage must be evaluated against system brightness requirements.

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

A: The primary differences are luminous flux (210 lm vs. 105 lm), operating current (15mA vs. 10mA), and forward voltage (86V vs. 68V). Both parts maintain identical color specifications and are ROHS3 compliant. The SFW8C31A-CE is active, while the SFW8C32A-CE is obsolete.

Q: Are there packaging or mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: Both parts are Chip On Board (COB) linear light strips with flat lens configuration. No packaging or mechanical dimension data is provided in the specifications. Physical compatibility should be confirmed through mechanical drawings or direct supplier consultation.

Q: What is the compliance status of the SFW8C31A-CE?

A: The SFW8C31A-CE is ROHS3 compliant and classified as EAR99 for export purposes, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: Why is the SFW8C32A-CE obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The SFW8C31A-CE represents the active equivalent within Seoul Semiconductor's product line for warm white 2700K COB linear light strip applications.
