LED Panel Indicator 5110F3-5V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5110F3-5V is an amber diffused LED panel indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), designed for 5V applications with 15mA maximum current. This component features a 3mm T-1 lens with a round domed top and wire leads measuring 4.4 inches (111.80mm). The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with the 0.16" (4.06mm) round panel cutout and preserve the functional characteristics of amber diffused LED indication.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5110F3-5V is determined by strict alignment of mechanical and electrical parameters. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Panel cutout shape must be round
• Panel cutout dimensions must be 0.16" (4.06mm)
• Lens size must be 3mm, T-1
• Lens style must be round with domed top
• Termination style must be wire leads

Optical Requirements:

• Lamp color must be amber
• Lens transparency must be diffused

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance mandatory
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) required

The PM3ADW6.0 from Bivar Inc. satisfies all mechanical and optical compatibility criteria. Electrical parameter variations (voltage: 2V vs. 5V; current: 20mA vs. 15mA; millicandela: 25mcd vs. 8mcd; wavelength: 605nm vs. 583nm) and lead length differences (6" vs. 4.4") represent functional enhancements rather than incompatibilities, as the substitute operates within the same panel mounting interface and optical classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PM3ADW6.0 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 5110F3-5V based on mechanical and optical parameter alignment. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The PM3ADW6.0 is currently in active production status with 1049 units available in inventory, compared to the 5110F3-5V's obsolete status with limited remaining stock of 798 units. For new designs and production continuity, the PM3ADW6.0 is the appropriate selection.

Electrical parameter differences require circuit-level evaluation. The PM3ADW6.0 operates at 2V with 20mA maximum current, compared to the 5110F3-5V's 5V and 15mA specifications. The substitute provides higher luminous intensity (25mcd vs. 8mcd) and a longer wavelength peak (605nm vs. 583nm), both within the amber spectrum. The 6-inch wire lead length of the PM3ADW6.0 exceeds the 4.4-inch length of the original part; lead trimming or routing adjustments may be necessary depending on panel depth and internal wiring constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PM3ADW6.0 directly replace the 5110F3-5V in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical panel mounting compatibility is confirmed through identical panel cutout dimensions (0.16" round) and lens specifications (3mm T-1 round domed top). The longer wire leads (6" vs. 4.4") require verification of available panel depth and internal routing space. Electrical circuit redesign is necessary due to voltage (2V vs. 5V) and current (20mA vs. 15mA) rating differences.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility criteria?

A: Panel cutout shape (round), panel cutout dimensions (0.16" / 4.06mm), lens size (3mm T-1), lens style (round with domed top), and termination style (wire leads) must match exactly. The PM3ADW6.0 satisfies all these requirements.

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

A: Both the 5110F3-5V and PM3ADW6.0 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. No compliance barriers exist for substitution from a regulatory standpoint.

Q: How do the optical characteristics differ?

A: Both parts are amber diffused LEDs with identical lens specifications. The PM3ADW6.0 provides higher brightness (25mcd vs. 8mcd) and a longer wavelength peak (605nm vs. 583nm), representing a shift within the amber spectrum toward the red end. The PM3ADW6.0 includes a specified 40° viewing angle, whereas the original part does not specify this parameter.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The 5110F3-5V is supplied without specified packaging notation, while the PM3ADW6.0 is packaged in bags. This difference does not affect component functionality or panel mounting compatibility.

Q: Why is the 5110F3-5V classified as obsolete?

A: The 5110F3-5V is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The PM3ADW6.0 is actively produced and represents the current equivalent offering for amber diffused 3mm T-1 LED panel indicators with matching mechanical specifications.
