Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the SMP2-PGC are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

Electrical Parameters:

• Wavelength - Dominant: 557nm (green spectrum)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 2V
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Millicandela Rating: 11mcd
• Viewing Angle: 120°

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 2-PLCC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Size / Dimension: 3.20mm L x 2.80mm W
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 4 (72 Hours)

Manufacturer Consistency:

• Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design continuity)

The substitute part SMTL2-PGC maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the exception of packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and maximum height specification (2.10mm versus 2.00mm), which remain within acceptable tolerance for direct substitution in surface mount applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SMTL2-PGC serves as the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete SMP2-PGC. Selection of the SMTL2-PGC is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The SMTL2-PGC maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support compared to the obsolete SMP2-PGC.

Compliance Enhancement: The SMTL2-PGC carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment for new designs and production runs.

Electrical and Optical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 11mcd brightness) and optical specifications (557nm wavelength, 120° viewing angle, clear round flat-top lens) are identical between the two components.

Mechanical Compatibility: The 2-PLCC surface mount package, footprint dimensions (3.20mm L x 2.80mm W), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 4) are identical. The maximum height variance (2.10mm versus 2.00mm) represents a 0.10mm increase and remains within standard PCB assembly tolerances for surface mount applications.

Packaging Consideration: The SMTL2-PGC is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume production environments and provides improved handling and automated placement capabilities compared to bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. The SMTL2-PGC is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical characteristics (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 11mcd brightness, 557nm wavelength) and mechanical specifications (2-PLCC package, 3.20mm x 2.80mm footprint, 120° viewing angle). The 0.10mm height difference (2.10mm versus 2.00mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the primary difference between SMP2-PGC and SMTL2-PGC?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. The SMP2-PGC is obsolete with bulk packaging, while the SMTL2-PGC is an active product supplied in Tape & Reel format. The SMTL2-PGC also carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these components?

A: No. Both components operate at identical forward voltage (2V), test current (20mA), brightness rating (11mcd), and wavelength (557nm). Optical performance including viewing angle (120°) and lens characteristics are also identical.

Q: Is the height difference between the two parts significant for PCB assembly?

A: No. The 0.10mm height variance (SMP2-PGC at 2.00mm maximum versus SMTL2-PGC at 2.10mm maximum) is within standard surface mount assembly tolerances and does not affect placement, reflow, or functional performance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for both components?

A: Both the SMP2-PGC and SMTL2-PGC carry an MSL rating of 4 (72 Hours), indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of SMTL2-PGC affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format that improves handling and automated placement efficiency. It does not alter electrical or optical performance of the component itself.

Q: Is ROHS3 compliance a requirement for substitution?

A: ROHS3 compliance is an enhancement provided by the SMTL2-PGC and supports regulatory alignment for new designs. The SMP2-PGC compliance status is not specified in available documentation.
