LED Circuit Board Indicator 5300E1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5300E1 is a 2mm red circuit board indicator LED designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting on printed circuit boards. This component features a single red tinted lens with domed top, rated for 20mA operation at 1.7V, and delivers 6.5 millicandela output. The 5300E1 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives to support ongoing production and maintenance requirements. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with existing PCB layouts, electrical specifications, and performance characteristics while offering current market availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5300E1 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and physical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Configuration: Single LED
• Color: Red
• Current Rating: 20mA (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: Tolerance range 1.7V to 2.0V acceptable for series-limiting resistor applications

Physical Compatibility Criteria:

• Lens Type: Tinted (diffused tinted acceptable for indicator applications)
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top (exact match required)
• Mounting orientation: Right angle PCB mount (exact match required)

Regulatory & Environmental Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliance (mandatory)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (mandatory)
• REACH Unaffected status (mandatory)

The Lumex Opto/Components Inc. SSF-LXH100HD-01 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical current, configuration, color, mounting type, and regulatory compliance. The 5mm lens size represents a physical variation that may require PCB layout evaluation but does not preclude functional substitution in indicator applications where space permits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Lumex Opto/Components Inc. SSF-LXH100HD-01 is an active substitute for the obsolete VCC 5300E1. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for current rating (20mA) and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle PCB mount). Both components satisfy mandatory regulatory requirements: ROHS3 compliance, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, and REACH Unaffected status.

The primary design consideration is the lens size differential: the substitute features a 5mm lens diameter compared to the original 2mm specification. This larger lens size may require PCB layout modification to accommodate the increased physical footprint. The substitute's diffused tinted lens type provides equivalent optical functionality for circuit board indicator applications.

The voltage rating difference (1.7V original versus 2V substitute) is within acceptable tolerance for typical series-resistor-limited LED circuit implementations and does not preclude substitution.

Selection of the SSF-LXH100HD-01 is appropriate for applications where PCB layout can accommodate the larger lens diameter and where active component availability is prioritized over maintaining the original compact form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Lumex SSF-LXH100HD-01 be used as a direct replacement for the VCC 5300E1 without circuit modification?

A: The SSF-LXH100HD-01 maintains electrical compatibility (20mA current, through-hole right-angle mounting) and regulatory compliance. However, the 5mm lens diameter requires verification that the PCB mounting hole pattern and surrounding component layout can accommodate the larger physical size. The original 2mm lens diameter is significantly smaller.

Q: What is the impact of the voltage rating difference between 1.7V and 2V?

A: In typical LED indicator circuits using series current-limiting resistors, the 0.3V voltage difference is accommodated by standard resistor value selection. This difference does not prevent functional substitution. The series resistor value may require minor adjustment to maintain the 20mA operating current.

Q: Are both parts compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?

A: Yes. Both the VCC 5300E1 and Lumex SSF-LXH100HD-01 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited shelf life).

Q: What is the difference between tinted and diffused tinted lens types?

A: Both lens types are tinted red for color filtering. The diffused tinted lens of the substitute provides light scattering characteristics suitable for indicator applications. The original tinted lens provides similar color filtering. Both are appropriate for circuit board indicator functions.

Q: Does the larger 5mm lens size affect the brightness perception?

A: The substitute's 5mm lens size is larger than the original 2mm specification. Brightness perception is determined by the millicandela rating and viewing angle. The larger lens may distribute light over a wider area due to its increased size, which is a physical characteristic that should be evaluated in the specific application context.

Q: What mounting hole modifications are required for the larger lens?

A: The SSF-LXH100HD-01 uses standard T-1 3/4 (5mm) through-hole mounting, which requires a 5mm mounting hole. The original 5300E1 uses 2mm mounting holes. PCB redesign or hole enlargement is necessary to accommodate the substitute component.
