LED CBI 5MM RED THROUGH HOLE - 5340H1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5340H1 is a 5mm red circuit board indicator LED with through-hole mounting, designed for applications requiring a single red diffused indicator with a domed top lens. This component operates at 2V with a 10mA current rating and delivers 6.3mcd luminous intensity at a peak wavelength of 650nm.

The 5340H1 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades. Active alternative components with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications are available to replace this discontinued model.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5340H1 are identified based on strict compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Color: Red (650nm peak wavelength)
• Current Rating: 10mA
• Configuration: Single LED
• Voltage Rating: Within acceptable operating range (2V to 2.2V)

Mechanical Compatibility:

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

Regulatory & Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Dialight 5502404F meets all critical substitution criteria. The 0.2V increase in voltage rating (2.2V vs. 2V) remains within acceptable tolerance for circuit board indicator applications. The luminous intensity increase (7mcd vs. 6.3mcd) represents an enhancement in brightness performance. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, mounting methods, and regulatory compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Dialight 5502404F

The Dialight 5502404F is the qualified substitute for the obsolete VCC 5340H1. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Product Status: The 5502404F is active in production, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the discontinued 5340H1.

Electrical Parameters: The 5502404F operates at 2.2V with a 10mA current rating, directly compatible with the original 2V specification. The 0.2V differential is within standard circuit tolerance for indicator LED applications. The increased luminous intensity (7mcd vs. 6.3mcd) provides enhanced brightness performance without requiring circuit modifications.

Mechanical Form Factor: Identical 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole mounting with round domed top lens ensures direct PCB compatibility without layout or mechanical redesign.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both components share MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, maintaining identical handling and storage requirements.

The 5502404F substitution requires no circuit redesign, no mechanical modifications, and no compliance re-evaluation. Direct component replacement is supported.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5502404F directly replace the VCC 5340H1 without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The 5502404F is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 5340H1. The 0.2V voltage increase (2V to 2.2V) is within acceptable tolerance for indicator LED circuits. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference in brightness between the 5340H1 and 5502404F?

A: The 5502404F delivers 7mcd compared to the 5340H1's 6.3mcd. This represents approximately 11% higher luminous intensity. Both components operate at identical 10mA current and 650nm wavelength, making the brightness increase a direct performance enhancement.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these components?

A: No. Both the 5340H1 and 5502404F are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Regulatory requirements remain unchanged with substitution.

Q: Why is the 5340H1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 5340H1 has been discontinued by VCC. The Dialight 5502404F provides equivalent functionality with active production status, ensuring continued component availability for new designs and legacy system support.

Q: Does the 5502404F have the same mechanical footprint as the 5340H1?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole mounting with round domed top lens design. PCB hole spacing and component placement require no modification.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification for the 5502404F?

A: The 5502404F specifies a 50° viewing angle. The original 5340H1 does not provide a viewing angle specification. The 50° specification for the substitute indicates standard diffused lens performance suitable for general indicator applications.

Q: Can I use the 5502404F in applications originally designed for the 5340H1?

A: Yes. The 5502404F is a direct functional equivalent. Identical electrical ratings, mechanical form factor, and regulatory compliance support direct substitution in all applications originally specified for the 5340H1.
