Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSOP39336 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• B.P.F. Center Frequency: 36.0kHz (must match exactly for remote control protocol compatibility)
• Sensing Distance: 45m (operational range requirement)
• Voltage Supply Range: 2.5 V ~ 5.5 V (power compatibility)
• Current Supply: 350 µA (power consumption specification)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical fit requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 85°C (environmental operating limits)
• Manufacturer: Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division (original equipment manufacturer)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)

The TSOP38336 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical electrical parameters and mounting specifications. The primary difference is the orientation specification (Side View versus Top View), which represents a mechanical variation that does not affect the core sensing functionality or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSOP39336 and TSOP38336 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific mechanical constraints of the application:

• TSOP39336 is suitable for applications requiring top-view orientation in the PCB layout.
• TSOP38336 is suitable for applications requiring side-view orientation in the PCB layout.

The TSOP38336 offers improved moisture handling characteristics with MSL 1 (Unlimited) compared to the TSOP39336 MSL 4 (72 Hours), which may be advantageous in high-humidity storage or operational environments. Both parts are electrically and functionally equivalent for 36.0kHz infrared remote receiver applications with 45-meter sensing distance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSOP38336 be used as a direct replacement for TSOP39336?

A: Yes, the TSOP38336 is a functional equivalent. The primary difference is the orientation specification (Side View versus Top View). Verify that your PCB layout accommodates the side-view orientation before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at 36.0kHz center frequency, support 2.5 V ~ 5.5 V supply voltage, consume 350 µA, and maintain -25°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: TSOP38336 has MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), while TSOP39336 has MSL 4 (72 Hours). MSL 1 indicates superior moisture resistance and allows unlimited shelf life without special storage conditions. MSL 4 requires controlled storage with desiccant for up to 72 hours after opening.

Q: Do both parts require the same PCB footprint?

A: Both parts use through-hole mounting. However, the orientation difference (Top View versus Side View) affects the physical placement and lead positioning on the PCB. Verify footprint compatibility with your specific board design.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both TSOP39336 and TSOP38336 are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications with regulatory compliance requirements.
