Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TMP236A2DBZT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Sensor Type: Analog, Local
  • Sensing Temperature Range: -10°C ~ 125°C
  • Output Type: Ratiometric, Voltage
  • Resolution: 19.5mV/°C
  • Supply Voltage: 3.1V ~ 5.5V
  • Accuracy: ±2°C
  • Package / Case: SOT-23-3
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part TMP236A2DBZR maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) and product status (Active versus Obsolete).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TMP236A2DBZR is the direct substitute for the TMP236A2DBZT. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical electrical specifications and package geometry. The primary distinction is product status: the TMP236A2DBZT is obsolete while the TMP236A2DBZR maintains active production status. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the TMP236A2DBZR is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMP236A2DBZR be used as a direct replacement for TMP236A2DBZT in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TMP236A2DBZR is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the TMP236A2DBZT. Both devices operate identically within the specified temperature range, supply voltage, and accuracy parameters. The SOT-23-3 package geometry is identical, allowing direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® are different distribution formats for the same component. Tape & Reel is supplied on continuous carrier tape in reel format, typically for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® provides the same components in cut tape segments or alternative reel formats. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the component itself remain unchanged.

Q: Why is the TMP236A2DBZT listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on production lifecycle decisions. The TMP236A2DBZR, which is functionally identical, remains in active production and is the recommended source for current procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both the TMP236A2DBZT and TMP236A2DBZR maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and regulatory certifications. They are equivalent for applications requiring these compliance standards.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in sensor type, sensing temperature range, output type, resolution, supply voltage, accuracy, operating temperature range, package type, and mounting method. The TMP236A2DBZR meets all these criteria for the TMP236A2DBZT.
