Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLVS4200 is determined by the following critical parameters: dominant wavelength (605nm orange spectrum), mounting type (through-hole radial), lens transparency (clear), and mechanical compatibility (3mm package family). The substitute parts listed demonstrate compatibility across these core criteria, though variations exist in forward voltage, test current, brightness rating, and lens geometry.

The EALP03RDDAA0 from Everlight Electronics maintains the 605nm dominant wavelength and 3mm through-hole package, with minor deviations in forward voltage (2V vs 2.4V) and brightness (80mcd vs 70mcd). The HLMP-1420, HLMP-1421, and HLMP-1421-F0002 from Broadcom Limited represent alternatives within the T-1 package family but operate at a different dominant wavelength (585nm yellow spectrum), making them suitable only for applications where color shift is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EALP03RDDAA0 from Everlight Electronics represents the closest functional equivalent to the TLVS4200, maintaining orange wavelength specification (605nm) and through-hole radial mounting. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The EALP03RDDAA0 is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability. Forward voltage differential (0.4V lower) and test current increase (5mA higher) require circuit-level verification but do not preclude substitution in most indication applications.

The Broadcom HLMP series (HLMP-1420, HLMP-1421, HLMP-1421-F0002) are active production alternatives suitable only for applications where yellow wavelength (585nm) is functionally acceptable as a color replacement for orange. These components exhibit significantly lower brightness (15mcd vs 70mcd) and narrower viewing angle (45° vs 170°), representing substantial performance trade-offs. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EALP03RDDAA0 directly replace the TLVS4200 without circuit modification?

A: The EALP03RDDAA0 maintains the same dominant wavelength (605nm) and mounting type (through-hole radial), enabling direct mechanical substitution. However, the 0.4V lower forward voltage and 5mA higher test current require circuit verification to ensure current-limiting resistor values remain appropriate for the application.

Q: What is the primary difference between the EALP03RDDAA0 and the HLMP series substitutes?

A: The EALP03RDDAA0 preserves the orange color specification (605nm wavelength) of the original TLVS4200. The HLMP series components operate at 585nm (yellow wavelength), representing a visible color shift. Selection depends on whether the application requires color fidelity or accepts color variation.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting the EALP03RDDAA0?

A: The EALP03RDDAA0 features a smaller lens diameter (3.00mm vs 3.40mm) and lower maximum height (4.10mm vs 4.90mm). These dimensional differences may affect optical performance and mechanical fit in applications with tight lens aperture or height constraints. PCB layout and mechanical housing must be evaluated.

Q: Why do the HLMP-1421 and HLMP-1421-F0002 have identical electrical specifications but different packaging?

A: HLMP-1421 is supplied in bulk packaging, while HLMP-1421-F0002 is supplied in tape and reel format. Both components are electrically and functionally identical; packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly process requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all listed substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts (EALP03RDDAA0, HLMP-1420, HLMP-1421, HLMP-1421-F0002) maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and EAR99 export classification, matching the regulatory status of the original TLVS4200.
