LED Circuit Board Indicator 5307H5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5307H5 is a green LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component is a single green tinted LED with a 5mm round domed top lens, designed for through-hole right-angle mounting on printed circuit boards. The part operates at 2.2V with a 10mA current rating and produces 10 millicandela of light output at a peak wavelength of 563nm.

The 5307H5 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for legacy systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5307H5 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Green
• Voltage Rating: 2.2V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Configuration: Single LED

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Lens Size: 5mm or 4.7mm diameter (minor mechanical variation acceptable for through-hole mounting)
• Current Rating: Substitute parts operate at higher current ratings (20mA to 25mA) compared to the original 10mA specification
• Millicandela Rating: Substitute parts provide higher light output (30mcd to 50mcd) compared to the original 10mcd
• Wavelength - Peak: Substitute parts operate at 565nm compared to the original 563nm (within green spectrum tolerance)
• Lens Type: Substitute parts feature diffused tinting compared to the original tinted specification

The three substitute parts listed below meet the primary compatibility criteria and are suitable for applications where the 5307H5 is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SSF-LXH100GD and SSF-LXH100GD-01 (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.)

Both Lumex parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. These components are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with current manufacturing standards. The 5mm lens size matches the original 5307H5 specification exactly. Both parts operate at 2.2V with higher current ratings (20mA) and increased light output (30mcd) compared to the original. These parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the increased brightness and current draw are acceptable within the circuit design.

WP1533BQ/GD (Kingbright)

This Kingbright component is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The primary mechanical difference is the 4.70mm lens diameter compared to the 5mm specification of the original part. This represents a minor dimensional variation that may require mechanical evaluation for through-hole mounting compatibility depending on circuit board hole tolerances. The part operates at 2.2V with a 25mA current rating and 50mcd light output, providing the highest brightness among the substitute options. This part is suitable for substitution in applications where the slightly smaller lens diameter does not create mechanical interference and where the increased current and brightness specifications are compatible with the circuit design.

All three substitute parts carry identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN, and MSL 1) and are suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance equivalent to the original 5307H5.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSF-LXH100GD or SSF-LXH100GD-01 be used as direct replacements for the 5307H5?

A: Yes. Both Lumex parts maintain the same voltage rating (2.2V), lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), and lens style (round with domed top). The primary differences are higher current rating (20mA versus 10mA) and increased brightness (30mcd versus 10mcd). These parts are suitable for direct substitution provided the circuit design accommodates the higher current draw and increased light output.

Q: What is the mechanical difference between the WP1533BQ/GD and the 5307H5?

A: The WP1533BQ/GD features a 4.70mm diameter lens compared to the 5mm lens of the 5307H5. This represents a 0.3mm reduction in lens diameter. For through-hole mounting applications, this minor dimensional difference typically does not create compatibility issues, but mechanical evaluation of the specific circuit board hole size and mounting tolerance is recommended.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts (SSF-LXH100GD, SSF-LXH100GD-01, and WP1533BQ/GD) are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory compliance of the original 5307H5.

Q: What is the difference between the SSF-LXH100GD and SSF-LXH100GD-01?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference in part number designation reflects internal Lumex product numbering. Both parts are active products with equivalent availability and specifications.

Q: Will the higher current rating of substitute parts affect my circuit design?

A: The substitute parts operate at higher current ratings (20mA for Lumex parts, 25mA for Kingbright) compared to the original 10mA specification. If your circuit includes a current-limiting resistor, the resistor value may require adjustment to accommodate the higher current draw. Circuit design review is necessary to ensure the power supply and current-limiting components can support the increased current without exceeding component ratings.

Q: Can I use the WP1533BQ/GD if my circuit board holes are sized for a 5mm lens?

A: The WP1533BQ/GD has a 4.70mm lens diameter, which is 0.3mm smaller than the 5mm specification. For through-hole mounting, this typically presents no compatibility issue. However, if your circuit board design includes mechanical constraints or tight tolerances around the lens diameter, physical verification is recommended before implementation.

Q: Are there viewing angle differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original 5307H5 does not specify a viewing angle. The substitute parts (SSF-LXH100GD, SSF-LXH100GD-01, and WP1533BQ/GD) all specify a 60° viewing angle. This specification indicates the angular range over which the LED maintains acceptable brightness. For most circuit board indicator applications, this difference is not significant.

Q: What is the difference between tinted and diffused lens types?

A: The original 5307H5 features a tinted lens, while all substitute parts feature diffused, tinted lenses. A diffused lens scatters light more broadly, which can affect the visual appearance and brightness distribution compared to a tinted lens. For circuit board indicator applications, this difference is typically acceptable, but visual evaluation in the specific application environment is recommended if precise light distribution is critical.
