LED Circuit Board Indicator 5325F1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5325F1 is a 3mm red LED circuit board indicator designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component features a single red LED with a clear, tinted round domed lens, rated at 2.2V and 25mA, delivering 10 millicandela output at a peak wavelength of 635nm. The 5325F1 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for new production and replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Lumex Opto/Components Inc. SSF-LXH4RAID is the qualified substitute for the obsolete VCC 5325F1 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The SSF-LXH4RAID maintains active production status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and component traceability compared to the obsolete 5325F1.

Compliance Certification: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory suitability for circuit board assembly and deployment.

Electrical Compatibility: The SSF-LXH4RAID operates at 2.1V forward voltage and 20mA rated current, within the standard operational envelope for red LED indicators. These parameters remain compatible with existing circuit designs utilizing the 5325F1, requiring no modifications to current-limiting resistor calculations or power supply specifications.

Optical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both components feature identical 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle mounting configurations with round domed lens geometry. The SSF-LXH4RAID delivers 40mcd brightness compared to the 5325F1's 10mcd, providing enhanced visibility margin for indicator applications without introducing compatibility issues.

Packaging and Inventory: The SSF-LXH4RAID is available in bulk packaging with substantial inventory levels, supporting both prototype development and production-scale deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Lumex SSF-LXH4RAID directly replace the VCC 5325F1 without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The SSF-LXH4RAID operates at 2.1V forward voltage and 20mA rated current, both within the standard operational range for red LED indicators. Existing current-limiting resistor values and power supply specifications designed for the 5325F1 remain valid for the SSF-LXH4RAID.

Q: What is the difference between the clear lens on the 5325F1 and the diffused lens on the SSF-LXH4RAID?

A: The 5325F1 features a clear, tinted lens, while the SSF-LXH4RAID features a diffused, tinted lens. Both lens types are suitable for circuit board indicator applications. The diffused lens on the SSF-LXH4RAID provides more uniform light distribution across a wider viewing angle (60°), while the clear lens on the 5325F1 provides more concentrated light output. Selection depends on specific application visibility requirements.

Q: Why does the SSF-LXH4RAID have a higher millicandela rating (40mcd) than the 5325F1 (10mcd)?

A: The SSF-LXH4RAID delivers 40mcd brightness compared to the 5325F1's 10mcd. This increased brightness is a result of improved LED die technology and does not create compatibility issues. The higher brightness provides enhanced visibility margin for indicator applications and remains suitable for standard circuit board indication functions.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the VCC 5325F1 and Lumex SSF-LXH4RAID are ROHS3 compliant, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory suitability for circuit board assembly and deployment in regulated markets.

Q: What is the viewing angle of the SSF-LXH4RAID?

A: The SSF-LXH4RAID has a 60° viewing angle, enabling visibility across a wider range of observation positions compared to the 5325F1. This parameter does not affect direct substitution compatibility.

Q: Are both components rated for unlimited moisture exposure?

A: Yes. Both components maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling or storage requirements during manufacturing, assembly, or deployment.
