Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Dialight 5500705 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Voltage Rating: 5V
• Current Rating: 12mA
• Color: Green
• Wavelength - Peak: 565nm
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Viewing Angle: 60°
• Configuration: Single

Direct Manufacturer Substitutes (Dialight 5500705F and 5500707F) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part, with the distinction being packaging format and active product status.

Similar Cross-Manufacturer Substitute (Lumex SSF-LXH100GD-5V) meets all critical electrical parameters and mechanical form factor requirements. The lens type specification includes "Tinted" in addition to "Diffused," and the millicandela rating is 10mcd versus 8mcd, representing a higher brightness output within the same optical family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): Dialight 5500705F and 5500707F are the primary substitutes for the obsolete 5500705. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical form factor, and optical characteristics. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and production continuity. Selection between 5500705F and 5500707F depends on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: Lumex SSF-LXH100GD-5V meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 10mcd brightness rating represents a 25% increase over the original 8mcd specification, which may be acceptable or beneficial depending on application requirements. The tinted diffused lens provides identical optical diffusion characteristics. This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status, matching regulatory requirements of the direct substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Dialight 5500705F directly replace the obsolete 5500705? A: Yes. The 5500705F maintains identical electrical ratings (5V, 12mA), optical specifications (565nm peak wavelength, 8mcd, 60° viewing angle), and mechanical form factor (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole right-angle mount). The primary difference is active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the difference between 5500705F and 5500707F? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical to the original 5500705. The distinction lies in their base product numbers and internal Dialight product line classification. Selection should be based on packaging format and supplier availability.

Q: Is the Lumex SSF-LXH100GD-5V a suitable substitute? A: Yes, for applications where the increased brightness output is acceptable. The SSF-LXH100GD-5V meets all critical electrical parameters (5V, 12mA), wavelength specification (565nm), and mechanical mounting requirements. The 10mcd rating versus 8mcd represents higher luminous intensity. The tinted diffused lens maintains optical diffusion characteristics equivalent to the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes? A: The original 5500705 is listed with unspecified packaging. The 5500705F and 5500707F are supplied in bulk packaging. The Lumex SSF-LXH100GD-5V packaging format is not specified in the available data. Confirm packaging requirements with your supplier for procurement planning.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet regulatory requirements? A: The Dialight 5500705F and 5500707F are ROHS3 compliant. The Lumex SSF-LXH100GD-5V is also ROHS3 compliant. All three parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across all substitutes.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts? A: All parts, including the original 5500705 and all substitutes, are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
