SLR-342PCTF7M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLR-342PCTF7M is a green LED indicator for discrete indication applications, manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor. This component is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating that the original manufacturer has discontinued or will discontinue production. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continuity of supply for new designs, production runs, and maintenance applications where this component is specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SLR-342PCTF7M are identified based on functional equivalence within the LED indication category. The primary substitution criterion is that the replacement component must serve the same discrete LED indication function. The RLI-343P8CT32 qualifies as a substitute based on its classification as an LED indication component from the same manufacturer, Rohm Semiconductor. While the RLI-343P8CT32 is specified as an LED with oval color transparent through-hole configuration (contrasting with the surface-mount form factor of the original), both components fall within the discrete LED indication product family and share the same functional purpose.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RLI-343P8CT32 is available as an active product with current inventory, making it suitable for applications requiring continuity beyond the Last Time Buy window of the SLR-342PCTF7M. Selection between these components should be based on form factor compatibility: the SLR-342PCTF7M is surface-mount, while the RLI-343P8CT32 is through-hole. PCB layout and assembly process requirements will determine which substitute is appropriate for a given application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RLI-343P8CT32 directly replace the SLR-342PCTF7M on existing PCBs?

A: Direct PCB replacement is not possible due to form factor differences. The SLR-342PCTF7M is surface-mount, while the RLI-343P8CT32 is through-hole. PCB redesign or adapter solutions would be required.

Q: What is the primary reason to consider substitution?

A: The SLR-342PCTF7M carries Last Time Buy status, meaning production will end. The RLI-343P8CT32 is an active product with ongoing availability.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes, both the SLR-342PCTF7M and RLI-343P8CT32 are manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor, ensuring consistency in quality and reliability standards.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility?

A: Both components are classified as discrete LED indication devices from Rohm Semiconductor. Functional equivalence in the LED indication category is the primary substitution criterion.
