Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SM232K10L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Cell Type: Monocrystalline construction
• Voltage - Open Circuit: 6.91 V (system voltage compatibility)
• Voltage @ Pmpp: 5.58 V (maximum power point voltage)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 90°C (thermal compatibility)
• Package / Case: Cells (form factor)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Manufacturer: ANYSOLAR Ltd (series consistency)

The SM262K10L qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. While maximum power output and current specifications differ, these variations remain within the allowable range for functional substitution in systems designed for the SM232K10L electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SM232K10L and SM262K10L are obsolete products from the ANYSOLAR Ltd IXOLAR™ series. Selection between these components should be based on the following factors:

Voltage Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical open circuit voltage (6.91 V) and maximum power point voltage (5.58 V), ensuring direct electrical compatibility in series and parallel array configurations.

Power Output: The SM262K10L delivers 12.6% higher maximum power (5.71 W versus 5.07 W) and proportionally higher current specifications. This increased output may provide performance benefits in power-limited applications.

Physical Dimensions: Dimensional differences exist between the two cells. The SM262K10L is slightly larger in length (220.0 mm versus 215.0 mm) and width (126.0 mm versus 132.0 mm), with marginally increased thickness (2.1 mm versus 2.0 mm). Mechanical fit within existing mounting structures must be verified.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements.

Inventory Status: Component availability should be confirmed with the supplier, as both products are classified as obsolete.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SM262K10L directly replace SM232K10L in existing installations?

A: Electrical substitution is supported based on matching voltage specifications (6.91 V open circuit, 5.58 V @ Pmpp) and identical operating temperature range. Physical installation compatibility must be verified due to dimensional variations.

Q: What are the key differences between these monocrystalline cells?

A: The primary differences are maximum power output (5.71 W versus 5.07 W), current specifications (1.02 A @ Pmpp versus 909 mA @ Pmpp), and physical dimensions. Voltage characteristics remain identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both SM232K10L and SM262K10L are ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: How do dimensional differences affect installation?

A: The SM262K10L is approximately 5 mm longer and 6 mm narrower than the SM232K10L, with 0.1 mm additional thickness. Mounting frame and mechanical assembly compatibility must be assessed for your specific application.

Q: What is the impact of higher current output in the SM262K10L?

A: The SM262K10L delivers approximately 12% higher current at maximum power point (1.02 A versus 909 mA). Wiring, connectors, and charge controller specifications must accommodate this increased current to prevent thermal stress or component degradation.

Q: Are these parts still available for purchase?

A: Both components are classified as obsolete. Availability is limited to existing inventory. Contact ANYSOLAR Ltd or authorized distributors to confirm current stock status.
