Substitutability

What decides substitutability here

These are the attributes a reviewer compares, datasheet against datasheet, before XrefBase publishes one part as a substitute for another.

Must match

A candidate has to match on every one of these before anything else is compared.

Also compared

Compared too, but a difference here is weighed rather than disqualifying.

XrefBase does not yet hold these values for individual parts. This is the checklist a reviewer works through against each datasheet — not a record that any part below has been assessed on it.

What the labels on each part mean

A label says XrefBase has published that kind of relationship for the part, and how many. Replacement means the part has a published replacement; Predecessor means it replaced an older part. A part with no label has not been assessed yet — not assessed and found to have no alternative.

ReplacementAsserts substitution
Published replacements. The only results asserting a replacement relationship. Confirm application-specific fit before use.
FunctionalNot a substitute
Functional equivalents. Similar function, not a confirmed drop-in. Engineering review is required before substitution.
Same seriesNot a substitute
Same series. Same family, different configuration. Family navigation, not a substitution claim.
VariantNot a substitute
Variants. The same part in a different keying, colour or packaging suffix.
PredecessorNot a substitute
Superseded predecessors. Product history, shown for context only — not an alternative to this part.
Mates withNot a substitute
Mating counterparts. What this component plugs into. These are never substitutes for it.
