VM800P43A-PL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VM800P43A-PL is a resistive graphic LCD display module manufactured by Bridgetek Pte Ltd., featuring a 4.3-inch (109.22mm) transmissive TFT color display with 480 x 272 pixel resolution and USB interface connectivity. The module is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The VM800P series with pearl bezel finish has been superseded by active production variants, requiring engineers to evaluate compatible substitutes that maintain core display specifications while offering current product status and supply availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VM800P43A-PL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Display Specifications: Diagonal screen size of 4.3" (109.22mm), transmissive TFT color display technology, and 480 x 272 pixel resolution must remain constant. The viewing area dimensions (111.50mm W x 74.60mm H) establish the physical form factor compatibility.

Interface Requirements: The original module operates via USB interface. Substitute parts must support USB connectivity to maintain system integration without redesign of communication protocols.

Touchscreen Technology: Resistive touchscreen type is a core functional requirement for user interaction compatibility.

Color Specification: RGB (Red, Green, Blue) graphics color output must be maintained.

Environmental Compliance: MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status establish the baseline environmental and regulatory requirements.

The VM800B43A-BK qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters while offering active product status and dual interface support (SPI and USB).

Interface Compatibility: The VM800B43A-BK supports both SPI and USB interfaces, providing backward compatibility with existing USB-based designs while offering additional SPI connectivity options for future implementations.

Regulatory Compliance: The VM800B43A-BK carries RoHS Compliant certification, exceeding the baseline compliance of the original part and meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Environmental Specifications: Both modules share identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status, confirming equivalent environmental handling and regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. The VM800B43A-BK maintains identical display specifications (4.3" transmissive TFT, 480 x 272 resolution, resistive touchscreen, RGB color) and supports USB interface operation. The substitute is functionally equivalent for all core display and touchscreen functions.

Q: What is the difference between the pearl bezel (VM800P43A-PL) and black bezel (VM800B43A-BK) variants?

A: The primary difference is the bezel color finish and product status. The VM800P43A-PL features a pearl bezel and is obsolete. The VM800B43A-BK features a black bezel and is in active production. All electrical and display specifications remain identical.

Q: Does the VM800B43A-BK support the same USB interface as the original part?

A: Yes. The VM800B43A-BK supports USB interface operation identical to the VM800P43A-PL. Additionally, the substitute offers SPI interface as an alternative connectivity option.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these modules?

A: The VM800P43A-PL packaging is listed as "-" (not specified). The VM800B43A-BK is packaged in a Box. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The VM800B43A-BK has 984 Pcs New Original In Stock, providing immediate availability for component procurement and system integration.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Both modules are REACH Unaffected and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). The VM800B43A-BK additionally carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting enhanced regulatory requirements for current procurement standards.
