LED Circuit Board Indicator 5300E17 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5300E17 is a 2.00mm diameter green LED circuit board indicator designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component operates at 2.1V with a 10mA current rating and delivers 6.3 millicandela output at a peak wavelength of 585nm. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility while accommodating potential differences in physical form factor and performance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Dialight 5502207100F is identified as a direct substitute for the VCC 5300E17 based on the following electrical and optical compatibility criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Both components operate at 2.1V
• Color: Both emit green light
• Wavelength - Peak: Both specified at 585nm
• Configuration: Both are single-element indicators
• Mounting Type: Both are through-hole, right-angle configurations
• RoHS Status: Both are ROHS3 compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: Both are REACH unaffected

Differing Parameters:

• Lens Size: 5300E17 uses 2.00mm diameter; 5502207100F uses 5mm (T-1 3/4)
• Current Rating: 5300E17 rated at 10mA; 5502207100F rated at 25mA
• Millicandela Rating: Both specified at 6.3mcd
• Lens Type: 5300E17 is standard; 5502207100F is diffused
• Viewing Angle: 5300E17 not specified; 5502207100F specified at 50°

The substitution is valid where circuit design accommodates the higher current rating and where the larger physical form factor and diffused lens characteristics are acceptable for the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Dialight 5502207100F is electrically compatible with the VCC 5300E17 for applications where the following conditions are met:

Electrical Compatibility: The identical 2.1V voltage rating ensures direct circuit compatibility. The substitute's 25mA current rating exceeds the original 10mA specification. Circuit design must accommodate this higher current draw through appropriate series resistor adjustment or current-limiting circuit modification.

Physical Compatibility: The substitute's 5mm lens diameter represents a significant increase from the original 2.00mm specification. PCB layout modifications are required to accommodate the larger form factor. The right-angle through-hole mounting orientation remains identical, preserving lead configuration compatibility.

Optical Compatibility: Both components deliver 6.3 millicandela output at 585nm peak wavelength. The substitute's diffused lens type alters light distribution characteristics compared to the original standard lens. The substitute provides a 50° viewing angle specification, whereas the original specification does not include this parameter.

Regulatory and Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level remains at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both parts, ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Product Status: The original part is obsolete, while the substitute is in active production. This status difference ensures long-term component availability and supply chain continuity for the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5502207100F directly replace the 5300E17 without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution requires circuit evaluation. The substitute's 25mA current rating differs from the original 10mA specification. Series resistor values must be recalculated to accommodate the higher current rating and maintain proper LED brightness. Direct mechanical substitution is not possible due to the 5mm lens diameter versus the original 2.00mm specification.

Q: What are the physical installation differences between these two parts?

A: The 5300E17 features a 2.00mm diameter lens, while the 5502207100F uses a 5mm (T-1 3/4) lens. Both maintain through-hole, right-angle mounting orientation. PCB footprint modifications are necessary to accommodate the larger lens diameter of the substitute part.

Q: Do both parts have identical optical output characteristics?

A: Both parts deliver 6.3 millicandela output at 585nm peak wavelength, ensuring equivalent brightness. The substitute features a diffused lens type compared to the original standard lens, resulting in different light distribution patterns. The substitute specifies a 50° viewing angle, providing wider light dispersion than the original specification.

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

A: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both parts. No regulatory barriers exist to substitution from a compliance perspective.

Q: Why is the substitute part rated for higher current?

A: The 5502207100F is rated at 25mA compared to the 5300E17's 10mA specification. This difference reflects the substitute's design characteristics and does not indicate a requirement for higher current operation. Circuit design must limit current to appropriate levels through series resistor selection, regardless of the component's maximum rating.

Q: What is the significance of the substitute part being in active production status?

A: The Dialight 5502207100F is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing and supply chain availability. The original VCC 5300E17 is obsolete, making the active substitute part essential for long-term production continuity and component procurement reliability.
