Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VCC 5305H3/5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Compatibility Criteria:

• Dual color configuration (Amber/Green) with diffused white lens
• Through-hole right-angle mounting orientation
• Round domed top lens style
• Single LED configuration

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Operating voltage range compatible with 2.1V specification
• Current rating suitable for 10mA circuit design
• Wavelength peaks within acceptable range for Amber (605-610nm) and Green (565nm) color matching

Physical Compatibility Criteria:

• Lens size and mounting footprint must accommodate PCB layout constraints
• Right-angle orientation for edge-mounted applications

The Lumex Opto/Components Inc. SSF-LXH139AGW meets the functional and electrical substitution criteria with the following considerations: increased lens size (5mm vs 3mm), elevated current rating (20mA vs 10mA), and higher brightness output (30mcd vs 5mcd). These parameters represent design enhancements rather than incompatibilities.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration - Product Status: The VCC 5305H3/5 is classified as obsolete. The Lumex SSF-LXH139AGW is an active product, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and production requirements.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. MSL ratings are identical at Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent moisture handling requirements.

Electrical Parameter Alignment: Voltage ratings are within acceptable tolerance (2.1V main part vs 2.0-2.2V substitute). The substitute part operates at higher current (20mA vs 10mA) and delivers increased brightness (30mcd vs 5mcd), representing performance enhancement suitable for applications requiring improved visibility.

Physical Integration: The primary design consideration is lens size differential (3mm vs 5mm). PCB layout and mechanical envelope constraints must be evaluated. The right-angle mounting orientation and diffused white lens characteristics remain consistent, supporting functional equivalence in indicator applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Lumex SSF-LXH139AGW directly replace the VCC 5305H3/5 without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution is feasible with circuit evaluation. The substitute part operates at compatible voltage levels (2.0-2.2V vs 2.1V). However, the increased current rating (20mA vs 10mA) requires verification that existing current-limiting resistor values accommodate the higher current draw. The elevated brightness output (30mcd vs 5mcd) may necessitate resistor adjustment to maintain consistent indicator intensity.

Q: What is the primary design constraint when substituting these parts?

A: Lens size represents the critical physical constraint. The substitute part features a 5mm lens diameter compared to the original 3mm specification. PCB layout, mounting hole spacing, and mechanical clearance must accommodate the larger form factor. Right-angle mounting orientation remains consistent, simplifying mechanical integration.

Q: Are color characteristics maintained between the main part and substitute?

A: Color matching is preserved. Both parts offer Amber and Green color options with diffused white lenses. Wavelength peaks are closely aligned (Amber: 610nm vs 605nm; Green: 565nm vs 565nm), ensuring visual color consistency in indicator applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The Lumex SSF-LXH139AGW maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory profile of the original VCC 5305H3/5. Moisture sensitivity levels are identical at MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental handling requirements.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for high-volume production?

A: The Lumex SSF-LXH139AGW is classified as an active product with documented inventory availability (825 pcs in stock). Active product status ensures supply chain reliability and long-term component availability for production continuity, addressing the obsolescence limitation of the original VCC part.
