Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TLP266J is identified as a substitute for the TLP161J based on the following substitution criteria:

Common Classification Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage
• Category: Both are optoisolators
• Series: Both belong to the TLP series
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Regulatory Compliance: Both classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.49.8000

Functional Compatibility: The TLP266J represents an active product within the same manufacturer series, providing continued availability for isolation applications. The substitute maintains the same regulatory classification and environmental handling requirements as the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The TLP161J is obsolete and no longer in active production. The TLP266J is an active product within the same manufacturer series and regulatory framework, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment. The TLP266J carries explicit ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental standards for electronic components.

Availability: Current inventory indicates 1014 units of TLP266J available as new original stock, providing supply continuity for applications requiring optoisolator functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TLP266J directly replace the TLP161J in existing designs? A: Both parts are manufactured by Toshiba within the TLP optoisolator series and share identical MSL ratings and regulatory classifications. However, design verification is necessary to confirm compatibility with specific circuit requirements, as detailed electrical parameters for the TLP161J are not provided in this reference.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts? A: The TLP266J is specified as a triac output optoisolator with 3750Vrms isolation voltage and single-channel configuration. The TLP161J specifications are limited in this reference. The TLP266J is surface mount in 6-SOIC package format.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution? A: The TLP266J is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel packaging formats in 6-SOIC configuration. Verify that your assembly process and PCB layout accommodate this package type before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating? A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates both parts have unlimited shelf life and require no special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying inventory management and logistics.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same export regulations? A: Yes. Both the TLP161J and TLP266J are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.49.8000, ensuring identical regulatory treatment for export and trade purposes.
