Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SSF-LXH303GD (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.): This substitute maintains identical voltage rating (2.2V) to the 5600F5 while providing increased current capacity (20mA) and luminous intensity (30mcd). The active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating match the original specification. Peak wavelength variance (565nm vs 562nm) remains within acceptable green LED spectrum parameters.

WP934AD/GD (Kingbright): This substitute operates at a lower voltage rating (2.0V) compared to the 5600F5 (2.2V) while supporting higher current consumption (25mA) and delivering increased luminous intensity (25mcd). Active product status provides long-term component availability. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating align with original specifications. Peak wavelength (568nm) remains within green LED spectrum parameters. The 40° viewing angle provides directional light distribution suitable for indicator applications.

Both substitutes maintain mechanical compatibility through identical 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle mounting and diffused tinted lens configuration. Selection between alternatives depends on circuit voltage tolerance and required luminous intensity for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSF-LXH303GD replace the 5600F5 in existing designs? A: Yes. The SSF-LXH303GD maintains the same voltage rating (2.2V), lens configuration, and mounting type. Higher current capacity (20mA vs 10mA) and luminous intensity (30mcd vs 16mcd) are compatible with standard indicator circuit designs. Circuit current-limiting resistor values may require adjustment based on actual circuit requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute options? A: The SSF-LXH303GD operates at 2.2V (matching the original 5600F5), while the WP934AD/GD operates at 2.0V. The WP934AD/GD supports higher current (25mA) and provides a narrower viewing angle (40° vs 60°). Selection depends on circuit voltage supply and viewing angle requirements.

Q: Are the substitute parts mechanically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both substitutes feature identical 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle mounting, round domed-top lens style, and diffused tinted lens type. Direct PCB mounting compatibility is confirmed.

Q: Do the substitutes maintain RoHS and REACH compliance? A: Yes. Both SSF-LXH303GD and WP934AD/GD are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the original 5600F5 regulatory status.

Q: Why is the 5600F5 classified as obsolete? A: The 5600F5 is no longer in active production. The identified substitutes are active products from established manufacturers, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength differences (562nm, 565nm, 568nm)? A: All three wavelengths fall within the green LED spectrum. These minor variations are imperceptible to human vision in indicator applications and do not affect functional performance in circuit board indicator circuits.

Q: Can I use the WP934AD/GD in a 2.2V circuit designed for the 5600F5? A: The WP934AD/GD operates at 2.0V, which is lower than the 5600F5 specification of 2.2V. Circuit compatibility depends on the voltage tolerance of the current-limiting resistor design. Resistor value adjustment may be necessary to maintain proper current flow.
