Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SM261K05TL with the SM261K05TF is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical performance metrics: maximum power output (285.4 mW), open-circuit voltage (3.45 V), maximum power point voltage (2.79 V), maximum power point current (102.3 mA), short-circuit current (108.9 mA), cell type (monocrystalline), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 90°C), and physical dimensions (67.00 mm × 25.00 mm × 1.50 mm). The primary distinction is product status: SM261K05TL is obsolete, while SM261K05TF is active. Both components maintain MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and are RoHS compliant, confirming full functional and environmental compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SM261K05TF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete SM261K05TL. Selection of SM261K05TF is appropriate for all applications currently using or specifying SM261K05TL, as electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and environmental operating parameters are identical. The SM261K05TF maintains enhanced RoHS3 compliance and carries REACH Unaffected status, providing improved regulatory alignment for new designs. Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. No performance degradation or functional compromise results from this substitution.
