Dialight 5151016 Light Pipe LED Accessory - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Dialight 5151016 is a light pipe LED accessory designed as a single clear rigid panel mount component with press fit, right angle configuration. This part features a round lens with flat top design and 1.63mm lens size for optical light transmission applications.

The 5151016 is classified as obsolete product status. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production, repair, and maintenance applications where this light pipe is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Dialight 5151016 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Lens Size: 1.63mm (exact match required)
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top (exact match required)
• Color: Clear (exact match required)
• Configuration: Single (exact match required)
• Type: Rigid (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Press Fit (core mounting method)
• Series: 515 (Dialight product family)

The substitute part 5151016F maintains all critical optical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the mounting angle specification and packaging format, with 5151016F specified as Panel Mount, Press Fit without the right angle designation, and supplied in bulk packaging versus the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Dialight 5151016F serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 5151016 light pipe. Both parts share identical optical specifications (1.63mm round clear lens with flat top) and core mounting methodology (panel mount, press fit).

The 5151016F is classified as active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring ongoing availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and production applications. The original 5151016 carries obsolete status, making the 5151016F the appropriate selection for component replacement and procurement.

The mounting angle difference (right angle versus standard panel mount) must be evaluated against specific application requirements. If right angle orientation is mandatory for the application, mounting configuration compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5151016F directly replace 5151016 in all applications?

A: The 5151016F matches all critical optical and mechanical parameters: 1.63mm round clear lens with flat top, single configuration, rigid type, and panel mount press fit mounting. The primary consideration is the mounting angle specification. The original 5151016 specifies right angle mounting, while 5151016F specifies standard panel mount configuration. Application compatibility depends on whether the right angle orientation is functionally required.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 5151016 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5151016F is supplied in bulk packaging format. Bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume production environments and does not affect component performance or specifications.

Q: Why is 5151016 classified as obsolete?

A: The 5151016 is listed as obsolete product status. The 5151016F, classified as active, represents the current production equivalent within the Dialight 515 series light pipe product line.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 5151016 lists RoHS status as not applicable. The 5151016F is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use in regulated markets.

Q: What are the critical parameters for light pipe substitution?

A: Lens size (1.63mm), lens style (round with flat top), color (clear), configuration (single), type (rigid), and mounting method (panel mount, press fit) are the parameters that determine substitution eligibility. All these parameters are identical between 5151016 and 5151016F.
