Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TSOP6238TT qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the TSOP6238APTT based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Same base product family (TSOP6238)
• Identical manufacturer (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division)
• Same product category (Optical Sensors)
• Equivalent RoHS3 compliance status
• Equivalent REACH unaffected status
• Equivalent MSL rating (4, 72 Hours)

Functional Equivalence:

• Operating frequency: 38.0kHz (identical IR reception frequency)
• Sensing distance: 40m
• Supply voltage range: 2.5V ~ 5.5V
• Supply current: 700µA
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 85°C

The TSOP6238TT maintains the same electrical and optical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TSOP6238TT is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TSOP6238APTT. Selection of the TSOP6238TT is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical RoHS3 compliance certification
• Equivalent REACH unaffected status
• Same base product family designation (TSOP6238)
• Maintained regulatory and environmental compliance requirements

For applications currently using the TSOP6238APTT, transition to the TSOP6238TT presents no compliance or certification barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TSOP6238TT directly replace the TSOP6238APTT?

A: Yes. The TSOP6238TT is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both components share the same base product number (TSOP6238), operate at 38.0kHz, and maintain equivalent compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH unaffected).

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The TSOP6238APTT is obsolete. The TSOP6238TT is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring component availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The TSOP6238APTT packaging is not specified in available documentation. The TSOP6238TT is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats as a surface mount component.

Q: Do these components have identical electrical specifications?

A: Both components operate at 38.0kHz center frequency and share equivalent RoHS3 and REACH compliance status. The TSOP6238TT specifies 40m sensing distance, 2.5V ~ 5.5V supply voltage, 700µA supply current, and -25°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range.

Q: Is there a risk in using the TSOP6238TT as a replacement?

A: No technical or compliance risk exists. The substitution is manufacturer-recommended and maintains all relevant certifications and regulatory requirements.
