Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SLMD960H12 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical performance and mechanical compatibility parameters. The primary substitute identified is the SLMD960H12L, which maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions while differing only in packaging format. Both parts are manufactured by ANYSOLAR Ltd within the IXOLAR™ series and share the same cell classification (Cell 12).

The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

• Maximum power output: 218 mW
• Open-circuit voltage: 7.56 V
• Short-circuit current: 40 mA
• Voltage at maximum power point: 6.06 V
• Current at maximum power point: 36 mA
• Cell type: Monocrystalline
• Physical dimensions: 35.00mm x 42.00mm x 2.00mm
• Package classification: Cell (12)
• Regulatory compliance: REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SLMD960H12L serves as the direct equivalent substitute for the SLMD960H12. Both components are obsolete products from ANYSOLAR Ltd and maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility. The distinction between these parts lies solely in packaging format: the SLMD960H12 uses standard packaging while the SLMD960H12L is supplied in tube packaging.

Selection between these two part numbers should be based on inventory availability and packaging requirements for your application. Both parts carry identical regulatory compliance status (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99) and are suitable for equivalent system integration. The SLMD960H12L currently maintains higher inventory availability (1596 pieces) compared to the SLMD960H12 (776 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SLMD960H12L be used as a direct replacement for the SLMD960H12?

A: Yes. The SLMD960H12L is electrically and mechanically identical to the SLMD960H12. Both components deliver 218 mW at 6.06 V with identical open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and physical dimensions. The only difference is packaging format (tube versus standard).

Q: What determines whether a solar cell can substitute for the SLMD960H12?

A: Substitution requires matching across all electrical parameters (maximum power, voltage at maximum power point, current at maximum power point, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current), cell type (monocrystalline), physical dimensions (35.00mm x 42.00mm x 2.00mm), and package classification (Cell 12).

Q: Why is the SLMD960H12 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates this component is no longer in active production by the manufacturer. The SLMD960H12L, also obsolete, remains available through existing inventory channels.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tube packaging and standard packaging do not alter the electrical characteristics or performance of the solar cell. Packaging selection is based on handling, storage, and assembly requirements.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between SLMD960H12 and SLMD960H12L?

A: No. Both parts carry identical regulatory status: REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8541.42.0080.
