LED COOL WHITE CLEAR 3MM T/H 3UWC5.035N-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3UWC5.035N-F is a cool white LED indication component rated at 5000mcd with a 3.4V forward voltage and 3mm T-1 through-hole mounting configuration. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The cool white spectral output at 5000K wavelength and clear domed lens design are primary functional characteristics that define substitution compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the 3UWC5.035N-F is determined by alignment across the following critical parameter categories:

Optical Characteristics: Color (White, Cool), wavelength dominance (5000K), lens transparency (Clear), and lens color (Colorless) establish the spectral output profile. Substitute parts must maintain these optical properties to preserve circuit indication function.

Electrical Characteristics: Forward voltage (Vf) and test current define the power supply interface. Substitute parts with different Vf or current ratings require circuit redesign and are not direct substitutes.

Mechanical Characteristics: Lens size (3mm, T-1), lens style (Round with Domed Top), mounting type (Through Hole), package configuration (Radial), and maximum height establish the physical form factor. These parameters determine PCB footprint compatibility and mechanical clearance.

Luminous Intensity: The 5000mcd rating specifies brightness level. Substitute parts with different millicandela ratings alter the visual indication intensity and are not equivalent.

Viewing Angle: The 35° specification defines the directional light emission cone. Substitute parts with different viewing angles alter the visibility characteristics.

Compliance & Status: Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and regulatory classifications (ECCN, HTSUS) must be maintained for equivalent substitution.

The substitute part 3UWC1.035N-F shares the same manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), series designation (3UWC), lens size (3mm, T-1), lens style (Round with Domed Top), lens color (Colorless), lens transparency (Clear), viewing angle (35°), mounting type (Through Hole), package configuration (Radial), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). However, critical differences exist in color specification, wavelength dominance, millicandela rating, and forward voltage, which affect direct substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 3UWC5.035N-F is classified as obsolete, while the 3UWC1.035N-F is active. The active status of the substitute part ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Compliance & Certification: The 3UWC1.035N-F carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. Both parts share identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8541.41.0000).

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical lens size (3mm, T-1), lens style (Round with Domed Top), mounting type (Through Hole), and package configuration (Radial). The maximum height difference (5.30mm vs. 5.55mm) represents a 0.25mm increase, which may require verification against specific PCB clearance constraints.

Optical & Electrical Specification Gaps: The substitute part 3UWC1.035N-F does not provide explicit specifications for wavelength dominance, millicandela rating, forward voltage, or test current. These unspecified parameters prevent confirmation of direct electrical and optical equivalence. Applications requiring specific cool white spectral output (5000K), exact luminous intensity (5000mcd), or precise forward voltage (3.4V) characteristics cannot be confirmed as compatible with the substitute part based on available data.

Inventory Availability: The 3UWC1.035N-F has 771 pieces in stock (active inventory), compared to 876 pieces of the obsolete 3UWC5.035N-F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Direct replacement cannot be confirmed based on available specifications. While both parts share identical mechanical form factors (3mm T-1 through-hole radial package) and optical lens characteristics (clear, colorless, domed), the substitute part does not provide specifications for wavelength dominance, millicandela rating, forward voltage, or test current. Applications dependent on the specific cool white spectral output (5000K) or exact luminous intensity (5000mcd) of the original part require electrical and optical verification before substitution.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts are identical in lens size (3mm, T-1), lens style (Round with Domed Top), mounting type (Through Hole), and package configuration (Radial). The maximum height increases from 5.30mm to 5.55mm (0.25mm difference). PCB designs with tight vertical clearance constraints must account for this height increase.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8541.41.0000). The substitute part 3UWC1.035N-F carries explicit ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental standards.

Q: Why are electrical specifications missing from the substitute part data?

A: The provided data for 3UWC1.035N-F does not include forward voltage (Vf), test current, wavelength dominance, or millicandela rating specifications. These parameters must be obtained from the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm electrical and optical compatibility.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification, and does it differ between parts?

A: Both parts specify a 35° viewing angle, indicating identical directional light emission characteristics. This parameter matches between the main part and substitute.

Q: How does the obsolete status of the main part affect substitution decisions?

A: The 3UWC5.035N-F is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 3UWC1.035N-F is active, ensuring ongoing supply and manufacturing support. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the active substitute part provides supply chain continuity.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: The obsolete 3UWC5.035N-F has 876 pieces in current stock. The active substitute 3UWC1.035N-F has 771 pieces in stock, providing alternative procurement options.
