LED Circuit Board Indicator 5307H1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5307H1 is a red LED circuit board indicator designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component features a 5mm T-1 3/4 round domed lens with a tinted finish, operating at 2V and 10mA. The 5307H1 is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute components must maintain compatibility with the original mounting configuration, electrical specifications, and physical form factor while meeting current RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5307H1 are selected based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Color: Red
• Voltage Rating: 2V
• Configuration: Single
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected Status

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating: Substitutes may operate at higher current ratings (20mA, 30mA) provided the circuit design accommodates increased power consumption
• Millicandela Rating: Substitutes with higher brightness ratings are acceptable for indicator applications
• Lens Size: Minor variations in lens diameter (5mm to 4.7mm) are permissible within the T-1 3/4 form factor
• Wavelength - Peak: Red spectrum variations (627nm to 650nm) maintain visual color consistency
• Lens Type: Diffused or tinted finishes are interchangeable for indicator applications
• Viewing Angle: Substitutes with specified viewing angles (60°) provide enhanced visibility

The two substitute parts listed below meet all mandatory compatibility parameters and represent active product alternatives to the obsolete 5307H1.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SSF-LXH100ID-01 (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.)

This substitute maintains the original 5mm T-1 3/4 lens size and is classified as an active product. The component operates at 2V with a 20mA current rating, doubling the original specification. The diffused, tinted lens finish and 40mcd brightness rating provide enhanced visibility compared to the 5307H1. The 635nm wavelength remains within the red spectrum. This part is suitable for applications where the circuit design can accommodate the increased current draw and where higher brightness is beneficial or neutral to system performance. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained.

WP1533BQ/ID (Kingbright)

This substitute is an active product with a 4.70mm lens diameter, representing a minor physical variation from the original 5mm size. The component operates at 2V with a 30mA current rating. The diffused, tinted lens and 70mcd brightness rating provide the highest luminous intensity among the three options. The 627nm wavelength remains within the red spectrum. This part is suitable for applications where the circuit design accommodates the highest current draw and where maximum brightness is required. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained. The slightly smaller lens diameter must be evaluated for fit within the original PCB mounting hole and mechanical assembly constraints.

Both substitute parts satisfy all mandatory compliance and compatibility requirements. Selection between them depends on circuit current capacity and brightness requirements specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSF-LXH100ID-01 or WP1533BQ/ID be used as direct replacements for the 5307H1 without circuit modification?

A: Both substitutes operate at the same 2V voltage rating and maintain through-hole, right-angle mounting compatibility. However, the increased current ratings (20mA and 30mA respectively, compared to 10mA original) require circuit evaluation. If the original circuit was designed with current-limiting resistors for 10mA operation, the resistor values must be recalculated to maintain proper LED current at the substitute part's specifications. Direct physical substitution is possible; electrical circuit adjustment may be necessary.

Q: What is the difference between the tinted lens on the 5307H1 and the diffused, tinted lenses on the substitute parts?

A: The original 5307H1 features a tinted lens that provides color filtering with directional light output. The substitute parts feature diffused, tinted lenses that combine color filtering with light scattering for wider viewing angles. The diffused finish reduces brightness concentration in the direct viewing direction but increases visibility from off-axis angles. Both lens types are acceptable for circuit board indicator applications; selection depends on the specific visibility requirements of the application.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns with the WP1533BQ/ID due to its 4.70mm lens diameter versus the original 5mm?

A: The WP1533BQ/ID lens diameter is 4.70mm compared to the 5307H1 at 5mm. Both components maintain the T-1 3/4 through-hole form factor. The 0.3mm diameter reduction may affect fit in PCB mounting holes designed specifically for 5mm components. Verify that the original PCB hole diameter accommodates the 4.70mm lens. If the PCB hole was drilled to 5mm tolerance, the smaller lens may result in loose mechanical fit. The SSF-LXH100ID-01 maintains the original 5mm size and eliminates this consideration.

Q: Do all three parts meet current regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 5307H1, SSF-LXH100ID-01, and WP1533BQ/ID are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. All three components carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling. Compliance status is equivalent across all three parts.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength differences (650nm, 635nm, 627nm) among the three parts?

A: All three wavelengths fall within the red spectrum visible to the human eye. The 650nm (5307H1) represents a slightly more orange-red appearance, while 627nm (WP1533BQ/ID) represents a slightly more pure red appearance. These differences are subtle and typically imperceptible in circuit board indicator applications where the LED is viewed as a simple on/off status indicator. Color consistency across a PCB assembly may be affected if mixing parts with different wavelengths; standardize on a single substitute part number for uniform appearance.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Both SSF-LXH100ID-01 and WP1533BQ/ID are active products suitable for new designs. The SSF-LXH100ID-01 is recommended if the original 5mm lens size must be maintained and circuit current capacity is limited to 20mA. The WP1533BQ/ID is recommended if maximum brightness (70mcd) is required and the circuit can accommodate 30mA current draw, provided the 4.70mm lens diameter is compatible with PCB hole specifications. Evaluate both options against specific application requirements for current capacity, brightness, and mechanical fit.
