TSAL7300 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSAL7300 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 design continuity and ensure supply chain availability. The TSAL7300 delivers 30mW/sr radiant intensity at 100mA forward current with a 44° viewing angle and 1.35V typical forward voltage.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSAL7300 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Wavelength: Must be 940nm (infrared spectrum requirement)
• Forward Current Rating: Must support 100mA maximum DC forward current
• Forward Voltage: Must match 1.35V typical specification
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole radial configuration
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -40°C to 85°C
• Compliance Standards: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The TSAL6200 meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division) with identical electrical specifications and compatible mechanical packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TSAL6200 is the direct substitute for the obsolete TSAL7300. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division and maintain identical electrical specifications for wavelength, forward current, and forward voltage. The TSAL6200 is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements. The TSAL6200 exhibits higher radiant intensity (40mW/sr versus 30mW/sr) and a narrower viewing angle (34° versus 44°), which represent performance enhancements suitable for applications requiring increased optical output or more focused beam characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TSAL6200 directly replace the TSAL7300 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TSAL6200 maintains identical electrical specifications (940nm wavelength, 100mA forward current, 1.35V forward voltage) and compatible through-hole radial mounting. Both components operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and meet identical compliance standards.

Q: What are the differences between TSAL7300 and TSAL6200?

A: The primary differences are product status and optical characteristics. The TSAL7300 is obsolete, while the TSAL6200 is active. The TSAL6200 provides higher radiant intensity (40mW/sr versus 30mW/sr at 100mA) and a narrower viewing angle (34° versus 44°). These differences represent performance improvements rather than incompatibilities.

Q: Are there any package or mounting considerations when substituting?

A: Both components use through-hole radial mounting. The TSAL6200 is specified as 5mm diameter (T 1 3/4) radial package, which is compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts designed for the TSAL7300 radial configuration.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TSAL7300 and TSAL6200 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. They share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications.

Q: Why is the TSAL7300 listed as obsolete?

A: The TSAL7300 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The TSAL6200 represents the active equivalent product line, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support for new designs and production requirements.
