LED Panel Indicator 5110F1LC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5110F1LC is a red LED panel indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), designed for low-current applications requiring panel-mount installation. This component features a 3mm T-1 lens with diffused red appearance, operating at 1.8V and 7mA maximum current, with a peak wavelength of 635nm and 2.5mcd brightness rating.

The 5110F1LC carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating that VCC has discontinued active development and support for this series. This status necessitates identification of functionally equivalent substitute components for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new application development where similar performance characteristics are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5110F1LC are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape and dimensions (0.16" round)
• Lens size and type (3mm T-1)
• Lens style (round with domed top)
• Termination method (wire leads)

Optical Compatibility:

• Lamp color (red)
• Lens transparency (diffused)
• Wavelength range (red spectrum, 635nm reference)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating (1.8V nominal operation)
• Current rating (7mA maximum operation)
• Functional operation within circuit design parameters

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The substitute part 5580101007F from Dialight meets the mechanical and optical requirements for panel-mount red LED indicators with identical panel cutout dimensions and lens specifications. However, electrical parameters differ, requiring circuit design evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution Consideration:

The 5580101007F from Dialight provides mechanical and optical compatibility with the 5110F1LC for panel-mount red LED indicator applications. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions (0.16" round), lens specifications (3mm T-1 round domed), and diffused red appearance, enabling physical interchangeability in panel installations.

Electrical Parameter Differences:

The 5580101007F operates at 2V (versus 1.8V) and 20mA maximum (versus 7mA), representing higher voltage and current requirements. These differences require circuit design evaluation to determine compatibility with existing current-limiting resistor networks and power supply specifications. The substitute component's 10mcd brightness rating exceeds the original 2.5mcd, providing increased visibility.

Regulatory and Compliance Status:

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements. The 5580101007F carries "Active" product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability, whereas the 5110F1LC is designated "Not For New Designs."

Lead Length Consideration:

The 5580101007F provides 14" (355.60mm) wire leads compared to the 5110F1LC's 4.4" (111.80mm). Installation environments requiring shorter lead lengths may necessitate lead trimming or alternative component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5580101007F directly replace the 5110F1LC without circuit modification?

A: Mechanical and optical compatibility exists due to matching panel cutout dimensions and lens specifications. However, electrical parameters differ (2V/20mA versus 1.8V/7mA), requiring circuit design evaluation. Existing current-limiting resistor values may require adjustment to accommodate the substitute component's higher voltage and current ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the 5110F1LC?

A: This designation indicates that VCC has discontinued active development and support for the 5110F series. Manufacturers and designers should transition to actively supported alternatives for new applications. The 5580101007F from Dialight carries "Active" status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and component availability.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical between these components?

A: Yes. Both the 5110F1LC and 5580101007F feature 0.16" (4.06mm) round panel cutouts, enabling mechanical interchangeability in panel installations without modification to panel drilling or mounting hardware.

Q: How do the brightness ratings compare?

A: The 5580101007F provides 10mcd brightness compared to the 5110F1LC's 2.5mcd rating. The substitute component delivers four times the brightness, which may affect visual appearance in applications where specific brightness levels are required.

Q: What is the wavelength difference between these red LEDs?

A: The 5110F1LC operates at 635nm peak wavelength, while the 5580101007F operates at 650nm. Both wavelengths fall within the red spectrum; the 15nm difference may produce slightly different red color appearance under identical lighting conditions.

Q: Do the wire lead lengths match?

A: No. The 5110F1LC provides 4.4" (111.80mm) leads, while the 5580101007F provides 14" (355.60mm) leads. Installation environments with space constraints may require lead trimming for the substitute component.

Q: Are both components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5110F1LC and 5580101007F maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.
