Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VM800B35A-BK qualifies as a direct substitute for the VM800B35A-PL based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

  • Display Type: TFT - Color (identical)
  • Display Mode: Transmissive (identical)
  • Touchscreen Type: Resistive (identical)
  • Diagonal Screen Size: 4.6" (88.90mm) (identical)
  • Viewing Area: 82.90mm W x 70.30mm H (identical)
  • Resolution: 320 x 240 (QVGA) (identical)
  • Interface: SPI, USB (identical)
  • Graphics Color: Red, Green, Blue (RGB) (identical)
  • Backlight: LED - White (identical)
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

The primary distinction between these parts is the bezel color (pearl vs. black) and product status (Obsolete vs. Active). The VM800B35A-BK maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the VM800B35A-PL.
