LED Circuit Board Indicator 5500704 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Dialight 5500704 is a through-hole mounted LED circuit board indicator featuring a 5mm green diffused lens with domed top. This component is designed for applications requiring a 5V single green indicator with 12mA current consumption and 8 millicandela brightness output. The 5500704 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The 5500704F serves as the direct active substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 5500704F is a direct substitute for the 5500704 based on identical alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution validity is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Voltage rating (5V), current consumption (12mA), wavelength peak (565nm), and millicandela output (8mcd) are identical between both parts.

Mechanical Parameters: Lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), lens style (round with domed top), lens type (diffused), viewing angle (60°), and mounting type (through hole) are identical.

Environmental Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status, EAR99 ECCN classification, and MSL 1 rating.

The primary distinction is product status: the 5500704 is obsolete while the 5500704F is active, with the latter available in bulk packaging and RoHS3 compliant.

Parameter Comparison
