LED CBI 5MM YELLOW RA PCB 5306H7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5306H7 is a circuit board indicator LED manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) featuring a 5mm yellow tinted lens with right-angle through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. The part operates at 2.1V with a 10mA current rating and delivers 6.3mcd luminous intensity, suitable for standard PCB indicator applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5306H7 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute candidates:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 2.1V (must match)
• Color/Wavelength: Yellow at 585nm peak (must match)
• Configuration: Single LED (must match)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (must match)
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top (must match)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)
• MSL Rating 1 (required)

The substitute part 5511609F from Dialight meets all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. While the lens size differs (3mm vs. 5mm) and current rating is higher (20mA vs. 10mA), these parameters fall within acceptable substitution criteria for circuit board indicator applications where the primary function—yellow status indication at 2.1V—is preserved.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5511609F from Dialight serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 5306H7. Both components maintain identical voltage ratings (2.1V), color specification (yellow at 585nm), and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle). Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 requirements.

The 5511609F is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part exhibits higher luminous intensity (30mcd versus 6.3mcd) and accommodates a higher current rating (20mA versus 10mA), characteristics that enhance visibility and operational margin in circuit board indicator applications. The reduced lens size (3mm versus 5mm) represents a minor mechanical difference that does not affect electrical function or mounting compatibility in standard PCB layouts.

Selection of the 5511609F eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing circuit designs requiring yellow status indication at 2.1V operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5511609F directly replace the 5306H7 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage ratings (2.1V), color specification (yellow, 585nm), and right-angle through-hole mounting configuration. The electrical function and circuit interface remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the different lens sizes (5mm versus 3mm)?

A: The lens size difference affects physical footprint and visual appearance on the PCB. The 3mm lens of the 5511609F occupies less board space while maintaining the same domed-top optical profile. PCB layout modifications may be required if the original design relied on the specific 5mm form factor for mechanical or aesthetic purposes.

Q: Why does the 5511609F have a higher current rating (20mA versus 10mA)?

A: The substitute part is designed to operate at higher current levels, providing increased luminous intensity (30mcd versus 6.3mcd). Existing circuit designs operating the 5306H7 at 10mA will function correctly with the 5511609F at the same current level, as the higher rating represents maximum capability rather than a requirement.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 5306H7 and 5511609F are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) ratings. Both are classified as REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN designation.

Q: What is the viewing angle difference between these parts?

A: The 5306H7 does not specify a viewing angle parameter. The 5511609F specifies a 45° viewing angle. This specification in the substitute part indicates the angular range over which the LED maintains acceptable luminous intensity, a characteristic that enhances visibility in standard indicator applications.

Q: Is the 5511609F available in the same packaging as the 5306H7?

A: The 5511609F is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 5306H7 packaging specification is not detailed in the provided data. Both components use identical through-hole, right-angle mounting technology suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
