Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5520832F is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Configuration: 2 High bi-level LED arrangement (Green + Yellow)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle orientation
• Lens Size: 5mm form factor
• Color Combination: Green and Yellow LEDs
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH requirements
• Electrical Compatibility: Operating voltage and current characteristics within acceptable tolerance ranges

The Dialight 5520232F qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching configuration, mounting type, lens size, color combination, and compliance certifications. Both parts operate within the same product series (552) and maintain equivalent mechanical interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5520232F is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 5520832F. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across applications.

The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing supply chain continuity and long-term availability. The transition from the obsolete 5520832F to the 5520232F is supported by Dialight as the primary upgrade path within the 552 series.

Electrical parameter variations exist between the two parts. The 5520232F operates at lower voltage ratings (2.1V Green, 2.0V Yellow versus 2.2V) and exhibits reduced millicandela output (10mcd Green, 8mcd Yellow versus 34mcd). The substitute provides a wider viewing angle (60° versus 50°) and features a domed lens style compared to the tinted lens of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5520232F directly replace the 5520832F in existing circuit board designs?

A: The 5520232F is mechanically and electrically compatible for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. Both parts share identical configuration (2 High bi-level), lens size (5mm), and color combination (Green + Yellow). Circuit designs must accommodate the lower voltage and current specifications of the substitute part.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The 5520832F operates at 2.2V with 34mcd brightness output. The 5520232F operates at 2.1V (Green) and 2.0V (Yellow) with reduced brightness of 10mcd (Green) and 8mcd (Yellow). Current ratings differ: 20mA for the original part versus 25mA (Green) and 20mA (Yellow) for the substitute.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. MSL ratings are equivalent at Level 1 (Unlimited). No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the viewing angle difference and does it affect application suitability?

A: The 5520832F provides a 50° viewing angle, while the 5520232F provides 60°. The wider viewing angle of the substitute may improve visibility in certain mounting orientations but does not restrict compatibility.

Q: Why is the 5520832F classified as obsolete?

A: The 5520832F has been discontinued by Dialight. The 5520232F represents the active production equivalent within the 552 series and is the recommended path for new designs and ongoing support.
