TSMP6000TT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSMP6000TT is a remote receiver sensor manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, designed for infrared signal reception across the 20–60kHz frequency band with a 5-meter sensing distance. This optical sensor operates on supply voltages between 2.5V and 5.5V with a current draw of 700µA, supporting both side and top view orientations in surface mount applications across the industrial temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.

The TSMP6000TT is classified as obsolete. 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 component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSMP6000TT is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: The TSMP6000TT operates at 5m. Substitute parts must maintain equivalent or superior sensing distance capability to preserve system detection range.
• B.P.F. Center Frequency: The TSMP6000TT operates across 20–60kHz. Substitute parts must support compatible frequency bands to ensure proper signal reception from existing infrared transmitters.
• Supply Voltage Range: The TSMP6000TT accepts 2.5V–5.5V. Substitute parts must support the voltage levels present in the target application.
• Mounting Type: The TSMP6000TT uses surface mount packaging. Substitute parts must use identical mounting technology.
• Operating Temperature Range: The TSMP6000TT operates from -25°C to 85°C. Substitute parts must support the same or broader temperature range.
• Orientation Capability: The TSMP6000TT supports side or top view orientations. Substitute parts must support at least one compatible orientation.

The TSMP96000TT is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While it exhibits differences in sensing distance (1.8m versus 5m), center frequency (45.0kHz versus 20–60kHz), and orientation capability (top view only), it remains within the optical sensor category and shares the same mounting type, overlapping voltage range, and identical operating temperature specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TSMP96000TT is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TSMP6000TT. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division and share identical operating temperature specifications (-25°C to 85°C) and export classification (EAR99).

The TSMP96000TT offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The substitute part operates at reduced supply current (350µA versus 700µA), providing improved power efficiency in battery-powered or power-constrained applications.

Selection of the TSMP96000TT requires verification that the application can accommodate the reduced sensing distance (1.8m versus 5m) and the narrower frequency specification (45.0kHz fixed versus 20–60kHz range). The substitute part supports top view orientation only, whereas the original part accommodates both side and top view mounting configurations. Applications requiring side view orientation or extended sensing distance beyond 1.8m may require alternative component evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TSMP96000TT directly replace the TSMP6000TT in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application requirements align with the TSMP96000TT specifications. The reduced sensing distance (1.8m) and fixed center frequency (45.0kHz) must be compatible with the target system design. Applications requiring the full 5m sensing distance or frequency range flexibility of the original part require alternative evaluation.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are sensing distance (5m versus 1.8m), B.P.F. center frequency (20–60kHz range versus 45.0kHz fixed), orientation support (side or top view versus top view only), and supply current (700µA versus 350µA). Both parts share identical operating temperature range, surface mount packaging, and manufacturer origin.

Q: Does the TSMP96000TT support side view orientation?

A: No. The TSMP96000TT supports top view orientation only. Applications requiring side view mounting must evaluate alternative components or confirm that top view orientation is acceptable for the target design.

Q: What is the impact of the reduced sensing distance on system performance?

A: The TSMP96000TT operates at 1.8m maximum sensing distance compared to 5m for the original part. This reduction directly limits the maximum distance at which the sensor can detect infrared signals. Applications requiring detection beyond 1.8m must use the original part or identify alternative components with extended range capability.

Q: Is the TSMP96000TT compatible with existing power supply designs?

A: The TSMP96000TT operates within the voltage range 2V–5.5V, which overlaps with the original part's 2.5V–5.5V specification. Applications supplying 2.5V–5.5V are compatible. Applications operating at exactly 2V require confirmation that the TSMP96000TT meets minimum voltage requirements for the specific design.

Q: What is the advantage of using the TSMP96000TT over the obsolete TSMP6000TT?

A: The TSMP96000TT is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability. It also provides reduced power consumption (350µA versus 700µA), which is beneficial for power-sensitive applications. These factors support long-term design sustainability and production continuity.
