LED GREEN 3/16" HOLE PNL MNT 5200F5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5200F5 is a panel-mount LED indicator in green, designed for 3/16" (4.83mm) panel cutout applications. This component operates at 2.2V forward voltage with a maximum current rating of 30mA, delivering 12mcd luminous intensity. The 5200F5 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete VCC 5200F5 is based on strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Lamp color must be green to maintain visual indication function
• Forward voltage must be 2.2V to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign
• Maximum current rating must accommodate the 30mA design specification
• Luminous intensity (12mcd minimum) must provide adequate visibility

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape must be round
• Panel cutout dimensions must accommodate 0.19" to 0.20" (4.83mm to 5.08mm) hole diameter
• Lens style must be round with domed top for consistent appearance
• Termination must support panel-mount installation

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited storage)

The substitute part SSI-RM3091GD-150 meets all established substitution criteria within the allowed parameter tolerances.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150

The Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 is the designated substitute for the obsolete VCC 5200F5. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Alignment:

• Forward voltage matches at 2.2V, eliminating circuit redesign requirements
• Maximum current rating of 25mA is lower than the original 30mA specification; existing current-limiting resistor values remain valid
• Luminous intensity of 20mcd exceeds the original 12mcd, providing enhanced visibility

Mechanical Fit:

• Panel cutout dimensions of 0.20" (5.08mm) accommodate the original 0.19" (4.83mm) specification with minimal tolerance
• Round domed lens style maintains visual consistency with the original design
• Wire lead termination (6" length) supports panel-mount installation

Regulatory Compliance:

• ROHS3 compliance maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited) matches original specification
• REACH unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification align with original part
• HTSUS code 8541.41.0000 classification identical

Product Availability:

• Active manufacturing status ensures long-term supply continuity
• Inventory availability of 11,651 pieces supports production requirements

Design Considerations:

• Diffused lens transparency provides improved light distribution compared to unspecified original lens
• 60° viewing angle specification provides defined optical performance
• 565nm peak wavelength confirms standard green LED characteristics

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 directly replace the VCC 5200F5 without circuit modification?

A: Yes, for most applications. Both components operate at 2.2V forward voltage. The substitute's 25mA maximum current rating is lower than the original 30mA specification, but existing current-limiting resistor values will remain valid. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference in panel cutout size between the two parts?

A: The VCC 5200F5 requires a 0.19" (4.83mm) round hole, while the Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 requires a 0.20" (5.08mm) round hole. The 0.01" (0.25mm) difference is within standard mechanical tolerance. Existing panel cutouts may require minor enlargement.

Q: Why is the lens size different between the original and substitute?

A: The VCC 5200F5 has a 5.33mm diameter lens, while the Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 uses a 3mm T-1 lens. This difference will affect the visual appearance and light distribution. The substitute's smaller lens and diffused transparency provide a different aesthetic presentation.

Q: Does the higher brightness of the substitute (20mcd vs. 12mcd) affect compatibility?

A: The increased brightness is not a compatibility issue; it represents an improvement in visibility. If the original design relied on specific brightness levels for visual indication, the higher output may require evaluation in the application context.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the parts?

A: The VCC 5200F5 packaging format is not specified in the available data. The Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 is supplied in bulk packaging with 6" wire leads for panel-mount installation. Confirm that wire lead length and bulk packaging are compatible with your assembly process.

Q: What is the viewing angle of the original VCC 5200F5?

A: The viewing angle for the VCC 5200F5 is not specified in the available technical data. The Lumex substitute provides a defined 60° viewing angle, which is standard for diffused green LEDs in this size category.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the VCC 5200F5 and Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both carry HTSUS code 8541.41.0000.

Q: Why is the VCC 5200F5 classified as obsolete?

A: The VCC 5200F5 is no longer manufactured by Visual Communications Company. The Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 is an active product with current manufacturing and supply availability.

Q: Can the SSI-RM3091GD-150 be used in new designs?

A: Yes. The Lumex SSI-RM3091GD-150 is an active product suitable for new design implementations. It meets all current regulatory compliance requirements and is available in production quantities.
