LED Circuit Board Indicator 5300H1LC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5300H1LC is a red LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component is a single red tinted LED with a 2.00mm diameter round domed top lens, designed for through-hole right-angle PCB mounting. The device operates at 1.8V with a 2mA current rating and produces 2.3 millicandela at a peak wavelength of 635nm.

The 5300H1LC is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and production requirements for legacy systems and equipment utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5300H1LC with the SSF-LXH100LID-01 is based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Color: Red (both components)
• Configuration: Single LED (both components)
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top (both components)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (both components)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (both components)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (both components)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (both components)

Differing Parameters: The SSF-LXH100LID-01 operates at a higher voltage (2V versus 1.8V) and higher current (20mA versus 2mA). The lens size is larger (5mm T-1 3/4 versus 2.00mm Dia). The substitute part features a diffused lens type compared to the tinted lens of the original component. The substitute part is currently active in production, whereas the original is obsolete.

These differences require circuit-level evaluation to determine functional compatibility within the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSF-LXH100LID-01 is suitable as a substitute for the obsolete 5300H1LC based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating equivalent moisture handling and storage requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature through-hole right-angle mounting with round domed top lens styles, supporting direct PCB mounting compatibility.

Electrical Differences: The substitute part operates at 2V with 20mA current capacity, compared to the original 1.8V at 2mA. Circuit design modifications may be required to accommodate these electrical parameter differences. The larger 5mm lens size of the substitute part requires PCB layout verification to ensure physical fit within the original mounting footprint.

Optical Characteristics: The substitute part features a diffused lens type versus the tinted lens of the original. This difference affects light distribution and intensity characteristics and must be evaluated against application-specific visibility and brightness requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSF-LXH100LID-01 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 5300H1LC?

A: Direct physical mounting is possible due to matching through-hole right-angle configurations. However, electrical circuit modifications are required due to the higher voltage (2V versus 1.8V) and current (20mA versus 2mA) ratings. PCB layout verification is necessary to confirm the larger 5mm lens size fits within the original mounting space.

Q: What are the key differences between these two components?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (1.8V versus 2V), current rating (2mA versus 20mA), lens size (2.00mm versus 5mm), and lens type (tinted versus diffused, tinted). Both components share identical mounting type, color, configuration, and regulatory compliance status.

Q: Are there any compliance concerns with using the substitute part?

A: No compliance concerns exist. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: How does the lens size difference affect component selection?

A: The substitute part features a 5mm T-1 3/4 lens compared to the 2.00mm diameter lens of the original. This larger size requires verification that the PCB mounting footprint and surrounding component layout can accommodate the increased physical dimensions.

Q: What impact does the diffused lens type have on performance?

A: The diffused lens type of the substitute part produces a wider light distribution pattern compared to the tinted lens of the original component. This affects brightness intensity and viewing angle characteristics and must be evaluated against specific application requirements for indicator visibility.

Q: Is the substitute part currently available?

A: Yes. The SSF-LXH100LID-01 is classified as active product status with current manufacturing availability, whereas the original 5300H1LC is obsolete.
