LED Circuit Board Indicator 5325F5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5325F5 is a 3mm through-hole right-angle LED circuit board indicator featuring a single green emitter with a round domed lens. This component is designed for applications requiring compact visual indication with a 2.3V forward voltage and 10mA nominal current rating. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VCC 5325F5 is based on the following critical parameters that must align across alternatives:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Lens size: 3mm, T-1 form factor
• Lens style: Round with domed top
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, right angle orientation

Optical Compatibility:

• Color: Green spectrum
• Peak wavelength: 565nm

Electrical Compatibility:

• Configuration: Single emitter
• Forward voltage range: Compatible with 2.3V nominal (substitute at 2.1V is acceptable within typical circuit design margins)
• Current rating: Substitute at 20mA is compatible with circuits designed for 10mA operation

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited) required

The Lumex Opto/Components Inc. SSF-LXH4RAGD meets all mechanical, optical, and regulatory criteria for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Lumex Opto/Components Inc. SSF-LXH4RAGD is a direct mechanical and optical substitute for the obsolete VCC 5325F5. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The SSF-LXH4RAGD maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 5325F5.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), meeting identical environmental and handling requirements.

Mechanical Fit: Identical 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle form factor ensures direct PCB mounting compatibility without layout modifications.

Optical Characteristics: Matching 565nm peak wavelength and green color specification maintain visual consistency in indicator applications.

Electrical Parameters: The substitute operates at 2.1V forward voltage and 20mA maximum current. Circuits designed for the 5325F5 at 10mA operation are compatible with the SSF-LXH4RAGD, as the substitute can be current-limited to the original specification. The higher millicandela rating (30mcd versus 8.5mcd) provides improved visibility margin without requiring circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Lumex SSF-LXH4RAGD be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The substitute maintains identical mechanical mounting, optical wavelength, and form factor. The lower forward voltage (2.1V versus 2.3V) and higher current rating (20mA versus 10mA) are compatible with existing circuit designs. Current-limiting resistors in the original circuit will operate the substitute within specification.

Q: What is the difference in brightness between the two parts?

A: The SSF-LXH4RAGD produces 30mcd compared to the 5325F5 at 8.5mcd. This represents increased luminous intensity. The substitute's diffused, tinted lens contributes to this higher brightness specification. Visual appearance in the application will be noticeably brighter.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Does the 60° viewing angle of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: The original 5325F5 does not specify a viewing angle parameter. The SSF-LXH4RAGD's 60° viewing angle is a defined characteristic of the diffused, tinted lens design. This specification indicates the angular range over which the indicator remains visible at acceptable brightness levels. Applications requiring specific viewing angle performance should evaluate this parameter against original design requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 5325F5 is specified with "-" packaging notation. The SSF-LXH4RAGD is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are through-hole components suitable for manual or automated assembly.

Q: Is the substitute available in the same inventory quantities?

A: The SSF-LXH4RAGD maintains higher inventory availability (2971 pcs) compared to the obsolete 5325F5 (1098 pcs remaining). This supports long-term procurement planning.
