Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VM800P43A-BK are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Display Type: TFT - Color
• Display Mode: Transmissive
• Touchscreen Type: Resistive
• Diagonal Screen Size: 4.3" (109.22mm)
• Resolution: 480 x 272 pixels
• Backlight: LED - White
• Graphics Color: Red, Green, Blue (RGB)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

VM800B43A-BK (Bridgetek Pte Ltd.) — Active product status with identical display specifications. Supports both SPI and USB interfaces, providing expanded interface flexibility compared to the original USB-only design.

GTT43A-TPR-BLM-B0-H1-CU-V5 (Matrix Orbital) — Discontinued at DiGi Electronics but maintains identical core display parameters. Includes specified dot pitch (0.20mm W x 0.20mm H) and differs in viewing area dimensions (98.70mm W x 57.50mm H versus 111.50mm W x 74.60mm H).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VM800B43A-BK is the primary substitute for new designs and ongoing production. This part maintains active product status with Bridgetek Pte Ltd., ensuring continued manufacturer support and supply chain availability. It provides identical display specifications to the VM800P43A-BK while adding SPI interface capability, offering design flexibility without compromising compatibility. RoHS compliance and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) match the original specification.

GTT43A-TPR-BLM-B0-H1-CU-V5 serves as an alternative substitute where Matrix Orbital components are already integrated into existing designs. Although discontinued at DiGi Electronics, this part maintains identical core display parameters and RoHS compliance. The viewing area difference (98.70mm W x 57.50mm H versus 111.50mm W x 74.60mm H) must be evaluated for mechanical fit and optical performance in the target application.

Both substitutes maintain RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting regulatory requirements equivalent to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VM800B43A-BK directly replace VM800P43A-BK in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical display specifications: 4.3" transmissive TFT color display, 480 x 272 resolution, resistive touchscreen, LED-white backlight, and USB interface. VM800B43A-BK adds SPI interface support, which does not affect USB-only implementations. Mechanical form factor and electrical interface compatibility must be confirmed for the specific application.

Q: What is the primary difference between VM800B43A-BK and GTT43A-TPR-BLM-B0-H1-CU-V5?

A: Both parts meet core display parameter requirements. The key difference is viewing area: VM800B43A-BK provides 111.50mm W x 74.60mm H, while GTT43A-TPR-BLM-B0-H1-CU-V5 provides 98.70mm W x 57.50mm H. This affects physical display dimensions and must be evaluated for mechanical fit within the enclosure. GTT43A-TPR-BLM-B0-H1-CU-V5 specifies dot pitch (0.20mm W x 0.20mm H), which is not provided for the other parts.

Q: Why is VM800P43A-BK classified as obsolete?

A: The part is no longer manufactured or actively supported by Bridgetek Pte Ltd. VM800B43A-BK is the active successor product, maintaining equivalent display functionality with expanded interface options.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. VM800P43A-BK is packaged with a dash designation (not specified). VM800B43A-BK is packaged in a box. GTT43A-TPR-BLM-B0-H1-CU-V5 is packaged in a tray. Packaging selection depends on inventory management and handling requirements for the application.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8524.91.1000 classifications. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
