SMP2-OC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMP2-OC is an orange 605nm LED indication component manufactured by Bivar Inc. in a 2-PLCC surface mount package. This discrete LED operates at 1.9V forward voltage with a 270mcd brightness rating and 120° viewing angle. The SMP2-OC is classified as obsolete product status, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for ongoing design requirements and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SMTL2-OC qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the SMP2-OC based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitution is valid when the following critical parameters are identical:

• Wavelength - Dominant: 605nm
• Color: Orange
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 1.9V
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Millicandela Rating: 270mcd
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Package / Case: 2-PLCC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Size / Dimension: 3.20mm L x 2.80mm W
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 4 (72 Hours)

The primary distinction between these components is product status and packaging format. The SMP2-OC is obsolete, while the SMTL2-OC maintains active status with Tape & Reel packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SMTL2-OC is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete SMP2-OC. Both components share identical electrical characteristics, optical properties, and mechanical dimensions within the 2-PLCC package format. The SMTL2-OC maintains active product status and is available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting high-volume manufacturing operations.

The maximum height differential of 0.10mm (SMP2-OC: 2.00mm vs. SMTL2-OC: 2.10mm) remains within typical PCB assembly tolerances and does not impact functional performance or board-level integration.

The SMTL2-OC carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SMTL2-OC directly replace the SMP2-OC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SMTL2-OC is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, optical output, and mechanical dimensions. Both components operate at 1.9V forward voltage, 20mA test current, and deliver 270mcd brightness at 605nm wavelength in a 2-PLCC surface mount package.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The SMP2-OC has a maximum height of 2.00mm, while the SMTL2-OC measures 2.10mm maximum height. This 0.10mm difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect component placement, reflow soldering, or functional performance.

Q: Why is packaging format different between SMP2-OC and SMTL2-OC?

A: The SMP2-OC is supplied in bulk packaging, while the SMTL2-OC is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations and provides improved handling, automated placement compatibility, and inventory management.

Q: Does the SMTL2-OC meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The SMTL2-OC is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and procurement.

Q: Are the optical and viewing characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical lens style (Round with Flat Top), lens transparency (Clear), viewing angle (120°), and dominant wavelength (605nm). Optical performance is equivalent.
