LED Circuit Board Indicator 5340H3-5V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5340H3-5V is a 5mm through-hole LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component is a single amber diffused LED with a 5V rating and 10mA operating current, designed for standard PCB mounting applications. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute components necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility and mechanical interchangeability while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5340H3-5V are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 5V
• Operating Current: 10mA
• Millicandela Rating: 8mcd

Mechanical Parameters:

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

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected Status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

The substitute part 5500804F from Dialight meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. While the color differs (yellow versus amber), the wavelength peak specification (583nm) remains identical, and the lens type (diffused) maintains optical compatibility. The substitute part is active in production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5500804F from Dialight is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the obsolete 5340H3-5V. Selection of this substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts operate at 5V with 10mA current draw and deliver 8mcd luminous intensity. The identical wavelength peak (583nm) ensures consistent optical performance in circuit board indicator applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical 5mm T-1 3/4 lens dimensions with round domed top styling and through-hole mounting configuration. PCB footprints and mounting hole spacing are interchangeable.

Compliance Status: The 5500804F maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory standing. Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited) provides equivalent environmental performance.

Production Status: The substitute part is active in production with confirmed inventory availability (1348 pcs), ensuring reliable supply for new designs and replacement applications. The original 5340H3-5V is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing support.

Color Consideration: The substitute part is yellow rather than amber. Both colors operate at the same wavelength peak (583nm), indicating the color difference results from lens tinting rather than fundamental LED characteristics. Applications requiring specific color appearance should evaluate this distinction against functional requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5500804F directly replace the 5340H3-5V in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5V, 10mA, 8mcd), mechanical dimensions (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole), and mounting configuration. PCB layouts require no modification for this substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the amber 5340H3-5V and yellow 5500804F?

A: Both parts operate at 583nm wavelength peak. The color difference results from lens tinting characteristics. The yellow variant (5500804F) uses diffused lens type without tinting, while the original uses diffused tinted lens. Optical output intensity remains identical at 8mcd.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited). Regulatory standing is equivalent.

Q: Why is the 5340H3-5V listed as obsolete?

A: The 5340H3-5V is no longer manufactured by VCC. The 5500804F from Dialight provides equivalent functionality with active production status and confirmed supply availability.

Q: Does the 5500804F have a specified viewing angle?

A: Yes. The 5500804F specifies a 60° viewing angle. The original 5340H3-5V does not provide viewing angle specification. This parameter should be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5340H3-5V packaging is listed as standard through-hole format. The 5500804F is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for PCB assembly; packaging selection depends on procurement and handling requirements.

Q: Are both parts available for immediate procurement?

A: The 5500804F is active in production with 1348 pcs confirmed in stock. The 5340H3-5V is obsolete; remaining inventory (1114 pcs) may be available through authorized distributors but is not subject to ongoing manufacturing support.
