Procurement Notes

This component is no longer in production. Verification of availability should focus on aftermarket distributors rather than direct manufacturer stock. Buyers must confirm the authenticity of existing inventory due to the long-standing discontinuation status. Replacement strategies should prioritize the identified substitute part to ensure supply chain stability.

Selection Notes

Designers requiring this functionality must select an alternative component as the 8523CGILF is unavailable for new designs. The primary verified replacement is the 8SLVP1204ANLGI. Engineers should evaluate the electrical specifications and pinout compatibility of the substitute against the original design requirements before implementation.

Part Context
