Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the 5335H5-5V are identified based on strict parameter matching across critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Lens size: 5mm, T-1 3/4 form factor
• Color: Green
• Voltage rating: 5V
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Lens configuration: Diffused, round with domed top
• Single LED configuration
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating: 12mA to 15mA (within typical circuit design tolerance)
• Wavelength peak: 562nm to 565nm (within green spectrum range)
• Millicandela rating: 8mcd to 10mcd (brightness variation acceptable for indicator applications)
• Viewing angle: Specification provided for substitute only

The substitute part 5500704F meets all critical matching parameters and operates within allowable electrical variation ranges for direct substitution in 5V indicator circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5335H5-5V is classified as obsolete and no longer in active production. The Dialight 5500704F serves as the direct functional equivalent for this application.

Selection Basis:

The 5500704F maintains full compatibility with the 5335H5-5V across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters: identical 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole form factor, 5V voltage rating, green color specification, and diffused domed-top lens configuration. Both components carry ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

The 5500704F operates at 12mA versus the original 15mA specification, representing a 20% reduction in current draw. This lower current requirement is compatible with standard 5V indicator circuit designs and may provide improved power efficiency. The wavelength peak variation of 3nm (565nm versus 562nm) remains within the green spectrum range and produces no perceptible color difference in indicator applications. The millicandela rating difference (8mcd versus 10mcd) reflects the lower current draw and remains suitable for circuit board indicator functions.

The 5500704F is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, providing supply continuity for new designs and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5500704F directly replace the 5335H5-5V in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The 5500704F is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 5335H5-5V. Both components share identical 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole mounting, 5V voltage rating, and diffused green lens configuration. No circuit modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between 15mA and 12mA?

A: The 5500704F operates at 12mA compared to the original 15mA specification. This 20% current reduction is within acceptable design tolerance for indicator applications and does not affect functional compatibility. Existing current-limiting resistor values in 5V indicator circuits will accommodate this variation.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 5335H5-5V and 5500704F carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification, MSL 1 rating, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS code 8541.41.0000. No compliance gaps exist between these components.

Q: What does the wavelength peak difference of 3nm represent?

A: The wavelength peak variation from 562nm to 565nm represents a minor shift within the green spectrum range. This difference is imperceptible to the human eye in indicator applications and does not affect functional performance or color matching in circuit board indicator contexts.

Q: Is the 5500704F available in the same packaging as the original part?

A: The 5500704F is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original 5335H5-5V packaging specification was not provided in the technical data. Both components are through-hole mounted and compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Why is the 5335H5-5V classified as obsolete?

A: The 5335H5-5V has been discontinued by Visual Communications Company. The Dialight 5500704F remains in active production and provides equivalent functionality for ongoing applications requiring 5V green LED circuit board indicators.

Q: Can the 5500704F be used in new product designs?

A: Yes. The 5500704F is classified as active and is suitable for new product designs requiring 5mm green through-hole LED indicators rated for 5V operation. Current inventory availability supports both production and prototype applications.
