Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5360F5 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute components:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Configuration: 4 Wide (quad LED arrangement)
• Color: Green (x 4)
• Current Rating: 10mA
• Voltage Rating: Within acceptable tolerance (2.2V nominal)
• Wavelength - Peak: Within green spectrum range (562nm reference)
• Millicandela Rating: Comparable brightness output (16.3mcd reference)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Lens Type: Diffused, Tinted

Regulatory & Environmental Parameters:

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

The substitute part 5510207004F from Dialight meets these substitution criteria through matching configuration, electrical ratings within tolerance, identical mounting type, and equivalent regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5510207004F from Dialight serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 5360F5. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The 5510207004F maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 5360F5.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production continuity.

Electrical Performance: The substitute operates within acceptable tolerance ranges across all critical electrical parameters. The 2.1V rating of the 5510207004F represents a 0.1V reduction from the 5360F5's 2.2V specification, which falls within standard component tolerance margins for LED circuit board indicators. Peak wavelength variance of 1nm (563nm versus 562nm) remains imperceptible in green LED applications and maintains color consistency.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration and diffused, tinted lens type ensure direct PCB integration without design modification.

Brightness Output: The 16mcd rating of the 5510207004F provides equivalent visual output to the 5360F5's 16.3mcd specification, with negligible practical difference in circuit board indicator applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5510207004F directly replace the 5360F5 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical through-hole, right-angle mounting configurations and equivalent physical lens dimensions. Direct PCB substitution is possible without layout changes.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.1V voltage difference between the two parts?

A: The 5510207004F operates at 2.1V compared to the 5360F5's 2.2V specification. This 0.1V variance is within standard tolerance ranges for LED circuit board indicators and does not affect functional performance in typical circuit applications with standard current-limiting resistor designs.

Q: Are there differences in brightness between these two parts?

A: The brightness difference is negligible. The 5510207004F provides 16mcd output versus the 5360F5's 16.3mcd. This 0.3mcd variance is imperceptible in practical circuit board indicator applications and does not impact visual indication performance.

Q: Does the 1nm wavelength difference affect color appearance?

A: No. The 563nm peak wavelength of the 5510207004F versus the 562nm of the 5360F5 represents a 1nm variance within the green spectrum. This difference is not visually distinguishable and maintains consistent green color appearance across both components.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5360F5 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5510207004F is supplied in bulk packaging. Both configurations contain identical components; packaging format reflects inventory and distribution methods only.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 5360F5 and 5510207004F maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is the 5360F5 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation of the product line. The 5510207004F from Dialight provides equivalent functionality with active product status, ensuring ongoing availability for production and repair applications.
