Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XL-980 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Rated voltage: 12V DC input requirement
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with 50mm flange
• Termination type: Wire leads
• Physical envelope: 50mm diameter constraint
• Driver type: Internally driven indicator buzzer
• Manufacturer: PUI Audio, Inc. (same product family)

The XL-5020-TF-LW150-S-R qualifies as a substitute based on matching voltage rating, mounting type, flange diameter, termination method, and driver circuitry classification. Both components are internally driven indicator buzzers from the same manufacturer's XL series, designed for identical mechanical installation in 50mm panel mount applications with wire lead connections.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XL-5020-TF-LW150-S-R is the designated substitute for the obsolete XL-980. Both components share identical mechanical mounting specifications, electrical input requirements, and driver architecture, enabling direct replacement in panel mount applications.

The XL-5020-TF-LW150-S-R offers active product status with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the XL-980 does not meet. The substitute component operates across an extended voltage range (3 ~ 16V) compared to the single 12V rating of the original part, providing design flexibility for systems requiring voltage tolerance.

Physical dimensions are compatible within standard assembly tolerances, with maximum seated height differing by 0.020" (0.50mm). Wire lead termination and 50mm flange mounting ensure mechanical interchangeability without modification to existing panel cutouts or connector interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XL-5020-TF-LW150-S-R be used as a direct replacement for the XL-980?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical 12V DC rated voltage, 50mm flange panel mount configuration, and wire lead termination. Mechanical installation and electrical connection are compatible without modification.

Q: What are the differences between the XL-980 and XL-5020-TF-LW150-S-R?

A: The primary differences are technology type (electromechanical/magnetic versus piezo), operating frequency (1.1kHz versus 2.3kHz), product status (obsolete versus active), and regulatory compliance (RoHS non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant). The substitute operates across a wider voltage range (3 ~ 16V versus 12V only).

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns with the substitute part?

A: No. Both components are designed for 50mm flange panel mount applications with wire lead termination. Maximum seated height differs by 0.50mm, which is within standard assembly tolerances and does not affect panel cutout compatibility.

Q: Does the substitute part require circuit modifications?

A: No. The XL-5020-TF-LW150-S-R is an internally driven indicator buzzer rated at 12V DC, matching the electrical interface of the XL-980. Direct connection to existing 12V supply circuits is supported.

Q: What is the regulatory compliance status of the substitute?

A: The XL-5020-TF-LW150-S-R is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, addressing modern regulatory requirements. The original XL-980 is RoHS non-compliant.
