Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VM800B35A-BK qualifies as a direct substitute for the VM800BU35A-BK based on the following critical parameters:

• 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)
• Graphics Color: Red, Green, Blue (RGB) (identical)
• Backlight: LED - White (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

The primary difference is the interface configuration: VM800B35A-BK supports both SPI and USB connectivity, whereas VM800BU35A-BK supports USB only. This expanded interface capability makes VM800B35A-BK suitable for applications requiring either or both communication protocols.
