TSAL7200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSAL7200 is an infrared (IR) emitter operating at 940nm wavelength, designed for through-hole radial mounting applications. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing production requirements. The TSAL7200 delivers 40mW/sr radiant intensity at 100mA forward current with a 34° viewing angle, making it suitable for IR sensing and communication applications requiring this specific spectral output.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSAL7200 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Wavelength: 940nm (exact match required)
• Maximum forward current: 100mA (exact match required)
• Typical forward voltage: 1.35V (exact match required)
• Radiant intensity: 40mW/sr @ 100mA (exact match required)
• Viewing angle: 34° (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The TSAL6200 meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division and share identical performance characteristics across all critical operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TSAL6200 is the appropriate substitute for the TSAL7200 based on the following factors:

• All electrical parameters are identical, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit operation
• Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements
• The TSAL6200 carries active product status with substantial inventory availability (563,840 Pcs), ensuring reliable supply chain access
• The TSAL7200, classified as obsolete with limited remaining inventory (29,400 Pcs), presents supply risk for new designs and ongoing production
• Mechanical compatibility is maintained through identical radial through-hole mounting configuration

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TSAL6200 directly replace the TSAL7200 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The TSAL6200 matches all electrical and mechanical specifications of the TSAL7200, including wavelength, forward current, forward voltage, radiant intensity, viewing angle, and operating temperature range. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The TSAL7200 is obsolete with limited inventory, while the TSAL6200 is an active product with full manufacturing support and substantial stock availability. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the TSAL7200 and TSAL6200?

A: Both components use radial through-hole mounting in a 5mm diameter package (T 1 3/4 form factor). No package adaptation is necessary for substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TSAL7200 and TSAL6200 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The TSAL6200 should be selected for new designs due to its active product status and assured long-term availability.
