LED Circuit Board Indicator 5380H5-5V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5380H5-5V is a 5mm LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs. The part features a green diffused, tinted lens with a 5V operating voltage and 15mA current rating, suitable for standard indicator applications in electronic assemblies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5380H5-5V are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage Rating: 5V (exact match required)
• Color: Green (565nm wavelength)
• Configuration: Single LED
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Lens Type: Diffused, Tinted
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected Status

Secondary Parameters (Allowable Variation):

• Lens Size: 5mm primary; 3mm acceptable with circuit board layout verification
• Current Rating: 15mA primary; higher ratings (25mA) acceptable with appropriate series resistor adjustment
• Millicandela Rating: 8mcd primary; higher ratings (30mcd) acceptable for equivalent or improved brightness performance

The SSF-LXH2300GD-5V-LM from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. qualifies as a substitute part based on matching voltage, color, configuration, mounting type, lens characteristics, and compliance certifications. Differences in lens size (3mm vs. 5mm) and current/brightness ratings require circuit board layout and current-limiting resistor evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Feasibility:

The SSF-LXH2300GD-5V-LM is a valid substitute for the obsolete 5380H5-5V based on electrical and mechanical compatibility. Both parts share identical voltage ratings (5V), color specifications (green, 565nm), configuration (single LED), mounting methodology (through-hole, right-angle), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

Design Considerations:

The primary difference between these parts is the lens size: the substitute uses a 3mm T-1 lens versus the original 5mm T-1 3/4 lens. This dimensional change requires verification against circuit board layout constraints, including PCB hole spacing, component clearances, and visual indicator placement requirements.

The substitute part exhibits higher current consumption (25mA vs. 15mA) and brightness output (30mcd vs. 8mcd). Circuit designs utilizing the original part must incorporate appropriate series resistor adjustments to maintain equivalent current limiting and brightness performance, or accept the increased brightness output if operationally acceptable.

Compliance Status:

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility for applications subject to these requirements. The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSF-LXH2300GD-5V-LM directly replace the 5380H5-5V without circuit modifications?

A: Direct replacement is possible if circuit board layout accommodates the 3mm lens size and if the increased brightness (30mcd vs. 8mcd) is operationally acceptable. The higher current rating (25mA vs. 15mA) requires series resistor adjustment to maintain equivalent current limiting. Verify PCB hole spacing and component clearances before implementation.

Q: What is the impact of the lens size difference (5mm vs. 3mm)?

A: The 3mm lens is physically smaller and will occupy less board space. This affects visual indicator visibility and may impact the aesthetic appearance of the assembly. Verify that the smaller lens size meets application requirements for indicator visibility and that PCB mounting holes are compatible with the T-1 package format.

Q: How should the series resistor be adjusted for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part operates at 25mA versus the original 15mA. Recalculate the series resistor value based on the 5V supply voltage and desired operating current. If maintaining 15mA operation is required, increase the series resistor proportionally. If accepting the higher current is acceptable, verify that the power supply and circuit design can accommodate the increased current draw.

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

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS codes (8541.41.0000). No compliance or regulatory differences exist between the two parts.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification for the substitute part?

A: The SSF-LXH2300GD-5V-LM specifies a 60° viewing angle. The original 5380H5-5V does not provide a viewing angle specification. Verify that the 60° viewing angle meets application requirements for indicator visibility from the intended viewing positions.

Q: Is the substitute part currently available?

A: Yes, the SSF-LXH2300GD-5V-LM is classified as active product status with documented inventory availability. The original 5380H5-5V is obsolete, making the substitute part the recommended solution for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.
