Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 4302F3-5V

Part Overview

The 4302F3-5V is an amber LED indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring discrete 5V radial LED indication. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing production support, maintenance, and design continuity.

The 4302F3-5V features a diffused amber lens with 3mm T-1 form factor, 8mcd brightness rating, and 60° viewing angle. Its obsolete status necessitates evaluation of active alternative components that maintain functional compatibility within system requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 4302F3-5V are evaluated based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Amber
• Lens Size: 3mm, T-1 form factor
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Radial configuration
• Viewing Angle: 60°
• Package / Case: Radial

Secondary Consideration Parameters:

• Lens Transparency (Diffused vs. Clear affects light distribution)
• Forward Voltage (Vf) and Test Current (affects circuit design requirements)
• Millicandela Rating (brightness level)
• Wavelength - Peak (color consistency)
• Height (Max) (PCB clearance and mechanical fit)
• Product Status (Active vs. Obsolete)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH, MSL)

The two substitute parts listed—HLMP-NL06 and SSL-LX3044AD—share the primary compatibility criteria with the 4302F3-5V. However, they differ in secondary parameters, particularly forward voltage, brightness, and lens transparency, which must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HLMP-NL06 (Broadcom Limited):

The HLMP-NL06 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, matching the 4302F3-5V compliance profile. This part shares identical lens size (3mm T-1), viewing angle (60°), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial). The primary differences are forward voltage (2.02V vs. 5V), test current (20mA vs. 10mA), and lens transparency (clear vs. diffused). The HLMP-NL06 delivers significantly higher brightness (96.2mcd vs. 8mcd) and operates at substantially lower forward voltage. Selection of this substitute requires circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage requirement and higher current draw. The clear lens provides focused light output compared to the diffused lens of the original part.

SSL-LX3044AD (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.):

The SSL-LX3044AD is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. This part maintains the diffused lens transparency of the 4302F3-5V, providing equivalent light distribution characteristics. Lens size (3mm T-1), viewing angle (60°), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial) are identical. Forward voltage (2.1V vs. 5V) and test current (20mA vs. 10mA) differ from the original part, requiring circuit modification. Brightness rating (15mcd vs. 8mcd) is moderately higher. The wavelength peak (605nm) differs from the original (583nm), representing a slight shift toward longer wavelengths within the amber spectrum. Maximum height (4.60mm vs. 6.35mm) provides improved PCB clearance.

Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the 4302F3-5V. Selection between them depends on specific application requirements regarding lens transparency, brightness level, and circuit voltage/current capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HLMP-NL06 or SSL-LX3044AD be used as direct drop-in replacements for the 4302F3-5V?

A: No. While both substitute parts share the same lens size (3mm T-1), viewing angle (60°), and through-hole radial mounting configuration, they cannot be used as direct drop-in replacements. The 4302F3-5V operates at 5V forward voltage with 10mA test current, while both substitutes operate at approximately 2V forward voltage with 20mA test current. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences.

Q: What is the primary difference between HLMP-NL06 and SSL-LX3044AD?

A: The HLMP-NL06 features a clear lens with 96.2mcd brightness, providing focused, high-intensity light output. The SSL-LX3044AD features a diffused lens with 15mcd brightness, providing dispersed light output similar to the original 4302F3-5V. Lens transparency selection depends on application requirements for light distribution pattern and intensity.

Q: Are both substitute parts compliant with the same standards as the 4302F3-5V?

A: Yes. Both HLMP-NL06 and SSL-LX3044AD are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and have moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), matching the compliance profile of the 4302F3-5V.

Q: Does the wavelength difference between parts affect compatibility?

A: The wavelength peak differences (4302F3-5V: 583nm, HLMP-NL06: 592nm, SSL-LX3044AD: 605nm) represent variations within the amber spectrum. All three parts are classified as amber LEDs. Wavelength selection depends on specific color matching requirements for the application. The SSL-LX3044AD wavelength (605nm) represents a shift toward longer wavelengths compared to the original part.

Q: What are the mechanical considerations when substituting these parts?

A: All three parts use 3mm T-1 form factor with through-hole radial mounting. Maximum heights differ: 4302F3-5V (6.35mm), HLMP-NL06 (6.20mm), SSL-LX3044AD (4.60mm). The SSL-LX3044AD provides the most clearance above the PCB. Verify PCB layout and component spacing accommodate the selected substitute's height specification.

Q: Why is the 4302F3-5V obsolete?

A: The 4302F3-5V is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
