Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SLMD960H09L is determined by the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Cell Type: Monocrystalline construction
• Manufacturer: ANYSOLAR Ltd (IXOLAR™ series)
• Voltage Class: Open circuit voltage in the 5.67 V to 6.22 V range
• Power Output: 162 mW to 198 mW range
• Physical Dimensions: Cells compatible with 44.5mm x 21.5mm base footprint with thickness variations up to 2.10mm
• Current Characteristics: Short circuit current (Isc) between 39 mA and 41.9 mA

The identified substitute parts SM940K09L and SM101K09L maintain monocrystalline technology from the same manufacturer and series, with electrical performance within acceptable tolerance bands for the application class. Both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing status and enhanced compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SM940K09L is the primary direct substitute for SLMD960H09L. This part maintains the same base footprint (44.5mm x 21.5mm) with minimal thickness increase (1.8mm vs. 1.30mm). It delivers 184 mW output with 6.22 V open circuit voltage, representing a 13.6% power increase. The part is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 90°C), providing enhanced environmental specification documentation compared to the obsolete SLMD960H09L.

SM101K09L serves as an alternative substitute with higher power output (198 mW, 22.2% increase) and identical open circuit voltage (6.22 V). This part features a larger footprint (47.00mm x 23.00mm x 2.10mm) and is suitable for applications where increased physical dimensions are acceptable. SM101K09L also carries ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature range.

Both substitutes are manufactured by ANYSOLAR Ltd within the IXOLAR™ series, ensuring consistency with the original component's design lineage and supply chain. Selection between SM940K09L and SM101K09L depends on mechanical space constraints and power output requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SM940K09L directly replace SLMD960H09L in existing assemblies?

A: SM940K09L maintains the same base footprint (44.5mm x 21.5mm) with a thickness increase from 1.30mm to 1.8mm. Mechanical compatibility depends on available clearance in the assembly. Electrical compatibility is confirmed within the monocrystalline solar cell class, with higher power output (184 mW vs. 162 mW) and open circuit voltage (6.22 V vs. 5.67 V).

Q: What are the key electrical differences between the three parts?

A: SLMD960H09L operates at 5.67 V open circuit with 162 mW maximum power. SM940K09L and SM101K09L both operate at 6.22 V open circuit, representing a 0.55 V increase. Power outputs are 184 mW (SM940K09L) and 198 mW (SM101K09L), both higher than the original. Current characteristics remain within comparable ranges (Isc: 39-41.9 mA across all three parts).

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitutes?

A: SLMD960H09L is specified as Cell (9) packaging. SM940K09L is supplied in Bulk packaging, while SM101K09L is supplied in Tray packaging. These packaging formats affect handling, storage, and integration into manufacturing processes but do not alter component electrical or mechanical specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: SM940K09L and SM101K09L both carry ROHS3 compliance certification, indicating conformance to Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements. Both are REACH Affected, requiring compliance documentation for European Union supply chains. SLMD960H09L is listed as REACH Unaffected due to its obsolete status. All three parts carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: Does operating temperature specification affect substitution decisions?

A: SLMD960H09L does not specify an operating temperature range. SM940K09L and SM101K09L both specify -40°C ~ 90°C operating range. For applications requiring temperature-rated components, the substitute parts provide documented thermal performance specifications. For applications where the original part operated without documented temperature limits, the substitute specifications establish defined operating boundaries.
