LED Circuit Board Indicator 5307H5-5V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5307H5-5V is a green LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component is a single green diffused LED with a 5mm round domed top lens, designed for 5V applications with 15mA current rating and 8mcd brightness output. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across electrical specifications, mechanical form factor, and mounting configuration to ensure direct replacement capability in existing circuit board designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5307H5-5V must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Voltage Rating: 5V operation
• Color: Green (565nm peak wavelength)
• Configuration: Single LED element
• Current Rating: Must not exceed circuit design limits; lower current ratings are acceptable with brightness considerations

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4 form factor
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Lens Type: Diffused
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle orientation

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced brightness (20mcd versus 8mcd) and lower current consumption (12mA versus 15mA).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5307H5-5V. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 5307H5-5V is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support.

Electrical Specification Compliance: Both components operate at 5V with identical green wavelength (565nm). The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V operates at 12mA versus the original 15mA, reducing power consumption while maintaining circuit compatibility. The higher brightness rating (20mcd versus 8mcd) provides improved visibility without requiring circuit modification.

Mechanical Form Factor Compatibility: Both components share identical 5mm T-1 3/4 lens size, round domed top style, and through-hole right-angle mounting configuration. Direct board-level substitution is possible without mechanical redesign.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and reliability standards. The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V includes REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSF-LXH100MGD-5V directly replace the 5307H5-5V without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage rating (5V), color (green), wavelength (565nm), lens configuration (5mm round domed top diffused), and mounting type (through-hole right angle). The lower current requirement (12mA versus 15mA) and higher brightness (20mcd versus 8mcd) are compatible with existing circuit designs.

Q: What is the significance of the lower current rating in the substitute part?

A: The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V operates at 12mA compared to the original 15mA. This reduces power consumption and heat generation while maintaining or exceeding brightness output. Existing current-limiting resistor values in the circuit will continue to function correctly, as the substitute part will draw less current at the same voltage.

Q: Are there any optical differences between the two parts?

A: The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V features a tinted diffused lens compared to the standard diffused lens of the 5307H5-5V. Both maintain the same 5mm round domed top form factor and diffused light distribution. The tinting may produce a slightly different color appearance while maintaining the 565nm peak wavelength specification.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification for the substitute part?

A: The SSF-LXH100MGD-5V specifies a 60° viewing angle. This parameter was not provided for the original 5307H5-5V. The 60° viewing angle is typical for diffused 5mm LEDs and indicates the angular range over which the LED maintains usable brightness.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5307H5-5V and SSF-LXH100MGD-5V are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with current European chemical regulations.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both components are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture exposure controls. Standard storage conditions are suitable for both parts.
