TSMP58138 Remote Receiver Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSMP58138 is a remote receiver sensor manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, designed for infrared signal reception at 38.0kHz carrier frequency with a 20-meter sensing distance. This component is classified as an optical sensor for through-hole mounting applications and operates across a 2.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range.

The TSMP58138 has reached obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this sensor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSMP58138 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• B.P.F. Center Frequency: Must match 38.0kHz for signal compatibility with existing receiver circuits
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole to maintain PCB assembly compatibility
• Orientation: Must be Side View to fit existing mechanical constraints
• Voltage Supply Range: Must accommodate 2.5V ~ 5.5V operation
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -25°C ~ 85°C
• Manufacturer: Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division maintains design continuity

The TSMP98100 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While it maintains identical frequency, voltage, temperature, mounting, and orientation specifications, it differs in sensing distance (7m versus 20m) and supply current (700µA versus 900µA). These differences represent functional trade-offs rather than incompatibilities, as the substitute operates within the same electrical and mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TSMP98100 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TSMP58138. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for frequency, voltage supply range, and operating temperature. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

The primary functional difference is sensing distance: the TSMP98100 operates at 7 meters versus the TSMP58138's 20 meters. This reduction in range must be evaluated against application requirements. The TSMP98100 also draws 200µA less supply current (700µA versus 900µA), which may provide marginal power consumption benefits in battery-powered applications.

Selection of the TSMP98100 is appropriate for applications where the 7-meter sensing distance meets operational requirements. For applications requiring the full 20-meter range, alternative sensor models from Vishay or other manufacturers must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TSMP98100 directly replace the TSMP58138 in existing designs?

A: The TSMP98100 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the TSMP58138 for through-hole PCB assembly. Both operate at 38.0kHz, accept 2.5V to 5.5V supply voltage, and function across -25°C to 85°C. However, the reduced sensing distance (7m versus 20m) must be evaluated for your specific application. If your design requires 20-meter range, the TSMP98100 is not suitable.

Q: What is the significance of the B.P.F. Center Frequency parameter?

A: The B.P.F. (Band Pass Filter) Center Frequency of 38.0kHz is the carrier frequency at which the sensor receives infrared signals. Both the TSMP58138 and TSMP98100 operate at this identical frequency, ensuring compatibility with existing receiver circuits and remote control protocols designed for 38.0kHz operation.

Q: Why does the TSMP98100 have lower supply current than the TSMP58138?

A: The TSMP98100 draws 700µA compared to the TSMP58138's 900µA. This difference is associated with the reduced sensing distance specification. Lower current consumption may provide benefits in power-constrained applications, though this should not be the primary selection criterion.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TSMP58138 and TSMP98100 are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Q: What should I do if my application requires the 20-meter sensing distance?

A: The TSMP98100 substitute is not appropriate for applications requiring 20-meter range. Consult Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division documentation or contact the manufacturer for alternative remote receiver sensors that maintain the 20-meter specification while offering active product status.
