LED Circuit Board Indicator 5300H7LC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5300H7LC is a yellow LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component is a single-configuration, through-hole right-angle mounted LED with a 2.00mm diameter domed lens, designed for applications requiring low-current indicator functionality at 2mA and 1.9V operation.

The 5300H7LC carries an Obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for ongoing production support, design updates, or inventory replenishment where original stock is unavailable or depleted.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute relationships for the 5300H7LC are determined by the following critical parameters:

Color Match: Yellow (585nm peak wavelength) - ensures consistent optical output for indicator applications.

Configuration: Single LED - maintains functional equivalence in circuit design.

Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle - preserves mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Compliance Certifications: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status - ensures regulatory alignment for production and distribution.

Electrical Parameters: Current rating, voltage rating, and millicandela output determine functional suitability. Substitutes may operate at different current and voltage levels while maintaining the same color and mounting configuration.

The substitute part 5511609F shares the core functional characteristics (yellow color, single configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and regulatory compliance) but operates at higher current (20mA vs. 2mA), higher voltage (2.1V vs. 1.9V), and delivers greater luminous intensity (30mcd vs. 2.1mcd). These differences require circuit design evaluation to confirm compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 5300H7LC is classified as Obsolete. The substitute part 5511609F carries Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and continued compliance updates.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications, confirming suitability for regulated manufacturing environments and international distribution.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature through-hole right-angle mounting. However, the 5511609F uses a 3mm T-1 lens package compared to the 5300H7LC's 2.00mm diameter lens. PCB layout verification is required to confirm physical fit within existing mounting holes and clearance constraints.

Electrical Differences: The 5511609F operates at 20mA and 2.1V compared to the 5300H7LC's 2mA and 1.9V specifications. Circuit redesign may be necessary to accommodate the higher current draw and voltage requirement. The increased millicandela rating (30mcd vs. 2.1mcd) provides greater luminous intensity, which may or may not be acceptable depending on application requirements.

Selection Path: For direct replacement in existing designs, the 5511609F is mechanically and electrically compatible only if circuit parameters can accommodate the higher current and voltage specifications. For new designs or where component obsolescence requires redesign, the 5511609F's active status and higher performance characteristics provide a viable forward path.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5511609F directly replace the 5300H7LC without circuit modification?

A: Direct replacement requires verification that the circuit can supply 20mA at 2.1V. The 5300H7LC operates at 2mA and 1.9V. If the existing circuit is designed for the lower current and voltage specifications, component substitution alone is insufficient; circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both parts use through-hole right-angle mounting. The 5300H7LC features a 2.00mm diameter lens, while the 5511609F uses a 3mm T-1 lens package. PCB hole sizing and clearance must be verified to confirm physical fit.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 5300H7LC and 5511609F are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, confirming equivalent regulatory status for manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is the 5300H7LC obsolete while the 5511609F is active?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer support and availability. The 5300H7LC has been discontinued by VCC. The 5511609F remains in active production by Dialight, ensuring ongoing availability and compliance support.

Q: What is the significance of the different millicandela ratings?

A: The 5511609F delivers 30mcd compared to the 5300H7LC's 2.1mcd. This represents approximately 14 times greater luminous intensity. Application requirements determine whether increased brightness is acceptable or problematic (e.g., in designs where indicator visibility is calibrated to specific intensity levels).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5300H7LC is listed with standard packaging notation. The 5511609F is specified as Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
