LED Circuit Board Indicator 5308H1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5308H1 is a red LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) from the 5300 series. This component is a single red tinted LED with a 2.00mm diameter round domed top lens, designed for through-hole right-angle mounting applications. The part operates at 2V with a 20mA current rating and produces 68mcd of luminous intensity at a peak wavelength of 650nm.

The 5308H1 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for legacy systems utilizing this LED indicator.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5308H1 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

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

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current Rating: The substitute may operate at a higher current (up to 30mA) provided the circuit design accommodates the increased power consumption
• Millicandela Rating: Luminous intensity may vary within the range of 68mcd to 70mcd
• Lens Size: The substitute features a 4.70mm diameter lens compared to the original 2.00mm diameter
• Wavelength - Peak: The substitute operates at 627nm compared to the original 650nm, both within the red spectrum
• Lens Type: The substitute uses diffused, tinted lens versus the original tinted lens
• Product Status: The substitute is active and currently manufactured

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WP1533BQ/ID from Kingbright is a qualified substitute for the obsolete 5308H1. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing and distribution requirements.

The substitute part is currently in active production with substantial inventory availability (10,600 pieces), providing supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete status of the original part.

The WP1533BQ/ID operates at the same 2V voltage rating and maintains compatible through-hole right-angle mounting configuration. The increased current rating of 30mA versus 20mA requires verification that the circuit design can accommodate this parameter. The luminous intensity remains within acceptable tolerance at 70mcd compared to 68mcd.

The larger lens diameter (4.70mm versus 2.00mm) and diffused lens type of the substitute will alter the visual appearance and light distribution characteristics compared to the original component. Circuit board layout modifications may be necessary to accommodate the increased physical size.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WP1533BQ/ID directly replace the 5308H1 without circuit modifications?

A: The WP1533BQ/ID is electrically compatible at the 2V voltage rating and maintains the same mounting type. However, the increased current rating (30mA versus 20mA) requires circuit verification. The larger lens diameter (4.70mm versus 2.00mm) necessitates physical layout evaluation for printed circuit board compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences in optical performance between these parts?

A: The WP1533BQ/ID features a diffused, tinted lens compared to the tinted lens of the 5308H1. The peak wavelength differs at 627nm versus 650nm, both within the red spectrum. The substitute provides a 60-degree viewing angle specification. These differences will affect light distribution and color perception in the application.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the 5308H1 and WP1533BQ/ID are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 5308H1 is classified as obsolete, making the WP1533BQ/ID necessary for ongoing component sourcing. The substitute is in active production with reliable inventory availability.

Q: Does the increased current rating of the substitute affect power consumption?

A: The WP1533BQ/ID is rated for 30mA maximum current compared to 20mA for the 5308H1. Actual current consumption depends on circuit design and series resistance. The circuit must be evaluated to ensure it can safely operate at the substitute's maximum current rating without exceeding thermal or reliability limits.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5308H1 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The WP1533BQ/ID is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging compatibility should be verified for automated assembly processes if applicable.
