XL-501 RED Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XL-501 RED is a piezo buzzer indicator with internally driven circuitry, designed for base mount applications with a 93mm diameter footprint. This component operates on DC voltage in the 9–28V range and features pin-selectable operating modes. The XL-501 RED is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AW-15SBR qualifies as a direct substitute for the XL-501 RED based on the following critical parameters:

• Technology: Both components utilize piezo technology with internally driven indicator circuitry
• Input Type: Both operate on DC voltage
• Voltage Compatibility: The AW-15SBR voltage range of 9–28V matches the XL-501 RED specification exactly
• Operating Mode: Both feature pin-selectable operation
• Mounting Configuration: Both employ base mount design
• Physical Footprint: Both share identical 93mm diameter dimensions with compatible height specifications (75.00mm vs. 75.50mm)

The AW-15SBR represents an active product from the same manufacturer, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete XL-501 RED.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AW-15SBR is the designated substitute for the obsolete XL-501 RED. This substitution is supported by:

• Identical voltage range specification (9–28V), ensuring direct electrical compatibility
• Matching physical dimensions and base mount configuration for mechanical interchangeability
• Active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability
• ROHS3 compliance of the AW-15SBR provides regulatory advantage over the non-compliant XL-501 RED for new designs and updated systems

Systems currently operating with the XL-501 RED can transition to the AW-15SBR without modification to electrical interfaces or mechanical mounting structures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AW-15SBR directly replace the XL-501 RED in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage range (9–28V), pin-selectable operating mode, base mount configuration, and 93mm diameter footprint. The height difference of 0.5mm (75.00mm vs. 75.50mm) is within typical mechanical tolerances for base mount applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The XL-501 RED is classified as obsolete. The AW-15SBR is an active product from the same manufacturer with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring supply continuity.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these components?

A: Yes. The AW-15SBR is ROHS3 compliant, while the XL-501 RED is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, the AW-15SBR is the appropriate selection.

Q: What packaging options are available for the AW-15SBR?

A: The AW-15SBR is supplied in bulk packaging, with 648 pieces currently in stock.

Q: Are there performance specifications that differ between these parts?

A: The AW-15SBR provides additional documented specifications including rated voltage (24V), current supply range (6–33mA), sound pressure level (84dB @ 24V, 100cm), operating temperature range (–10°C to 60°C), and ingress protection rating (IP54). The XL-501 RED does not include these detailed performance parameters in available documentation.
