LED Circuit Board Indicator 5380H7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5380H7 is a 5mm yellow LED circuit board indicator designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component features a diffused, tinted lens with a domed top and operates at 2.1V with a 10mA rated current, delivering 6.3mcd brightness. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VCC 5380H7 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Color: Yellow (585nm peak wavelength)
• Voltage Rating: 2.1V
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Configuration: Single LED

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating: The substitute may operate at higher current (20mA vs. 10mA) provided the circuit design accommodates increased power dissipation
• Millicandela Rating: Higher brightness (12.3mcd vs. 6.3mcd) is acceptable in applications where increased luminous intensity does not create functional conflicts
• Viewing Angle: Specification of viewing angle (60°) in the substitute does not preclude compatibility

The Dialight 5500305F meets all mandatory matching criteria and represents a direct functional substitute with enhanced electrical performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Dialight 5500305F is the identified substitute for the obsolete VCC 5380H7. Selection of this component is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The VCC 5380H7 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The Dialight 5500305F maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (4045 units in stock), ensuring procurement continuity.

Compliance Certification: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent applications. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts indicates identical moisture sensitivity handling requirements.

Electrical Performance: The substitute operates at identical voltage (2.1V) and maintains the same mechanical form factor (5mm, T-1 3/4, through-hole, right-angle). The increased current rating (20mA vs. 10mA) and brightness (12.3mcd vs. 6.3mcd) represent enhanced performance characteristics that do not compromise backward compatibility in existing circuit designs, provided the circuit topology accommodates the higher current draw.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical lens size, style, and mounting configuration ensure direct physical substitution without PCB redesign or mechanical rework.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5500305F directly replace the VCC 5380H7 without circuit modification?

A: The Dialight 5500305F is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution. However, circuit design review is required to confirm that the increased current rating (20mA vs. 10mA) and brightness (12.3mcd vs. 6.3mcd) do not create functional conflicts in the application. Current-limiting resistor values may require adjustment to accommodate the higher rated current.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: color (yellow, 585nm), voltage rating (2.1V), lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), lens style (round with domed top), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), and configuration (single LED). These parameters must match exactly between the original and substitute component.

Q: Are there differences in lens characteristics between the two parts?

A: The VCC 5380H7 specifies a diffused, tinted lens, while the Dialight 5500305F specifies a diffused lens without the tinted designation. Both maintain the same round domed-top style and 5mm size. The tint difference does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical function.

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

A: The Dialight 5500305F specifies a 60° viewing angle. The original VCC 5380H7 does not provide a viewing angle specification. The 60° specification for the substitute represents a defined optical characteristic that does not preclude compatibility in applications where the original part was used.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Both the VCC 5380H7 and Dialight 5500305F are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component use in regulated markets.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both components carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special environmental controls.
