Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3UWC1.035C-F serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 3UWC5.035C-F based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete main part.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental standards.

Electrical Parameters: Forward voltage differs by 0.2V (3.2V vs. 3.4V), remaining within acceptable tolerance for standard LED indication circuits. Test current remains constant at 20mA. The substitute part provides increased brightness at 6000mcd versus 5000mcd, representing improved luminous intensity at equivalent current draw.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts utilize identical 3mm through-hole radial mounting with round domed lens configuration and 35° viewing angle, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Environmental Specifications: Moisture sensitivity level remains MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both parts, maintaining identical handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3UWC1.035C-F replace the 3UWC5.035C-F in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at compatible forward voltages (3.2V vs. 3.4V) with identical test current (20mA) and viewing angle (35°). The mechanical package is identical: 3mm through-hole radial configuration with round domed lens. Circuit designs using current-limiting resistors will accommodate the 0.2V voltage difference without modification.

Q: What is the brightness difference between these parts?

A: The substitute part 3UWC1.035C-F provides 6000mcd compared to 5000mcd for the main part. This represents a 20% increase in luminous intensity at the same 20mA test current.

Q: Are there any regulatory or compliance differences?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which the main part does not specify. This represents an advantage for applications requiring environmental compliance documentation.

Q: Will the substitute part fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts use 3mm through-hole radial mounting with identical lens style (round with domed top) and equivalent height specifications. Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status ensures continued manufacturing, availability, and supply chain support. The obsolete main part may face procurement challenges and extended lead times. The active substitute part provides long-term component availability.

Q: Are the color specifications identical?

A: The main part specifies "White, Cool" while the substitute specifies "White." Both parts operate in the white LED spectrum. The main part includes specific cool white color temperature designation (6500K dominant wavelength), which is not specified for the substitute part in the provided data.
