LED Circuit Board Indicator 5602F1-5V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5602F1-5V is a 3mm red LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) from the 5600 series. This component is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications requiring a 5V single red diffused indicator with 10mA operating current. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing production support, maintenance, and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the 5602F1-5V must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Voltage Rating: 5V
• Current Rating: 10mA
• Configuration: Single LED

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Lens Size: 3mm, T-1
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Lens Type: Diffused, Tinted

Optical Compatibility Requirements:

• Color: Red
• Peak Wavelength: Red spectrum (acceptable range: 620nm to 660nm)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5510509F from Dialight meets all mandatory electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria. Variations in millicandela rating (8mcd vs. 29mcd) and peak wavelength (655nm vs. 635nm) remain within acceptable tolerances for red LED circuit board indicators and do not preclude substitution in standard indicator applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5602F1-5V is obsolete and no longer available from the original manufacturer. The Dialight 5510509F is the qualified substitute for this application based on the following factors:

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory continuity in procurement and deployment.

Electrical Equivalence: Identical voltage rating (5V) and current rating (10mA) ensure direct circuit compatibility without modification to existing designs or power supply configurations.

Mechanical Interchangeability: Matching lens size (3mm, T-1), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), and physical form factor (round with domed top) confirm direct board-level substitution without mechanical redesign.

Optical Suitability: Both components are red diffused indicators with peak wavelengths in the red spectrum. The 5510509F exhibits higher brightness (29mcd vs. 8mcd), which is acceptable and beneficial for indicator applications where visibility is required.

Environmental Compatibility: Identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1, Unlimited) confirms equivalent environmental performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5510509F directly replace the VCC 5602F1-5V without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (5V, 10mA), mechanical form factors (3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle), and compliance certifications. Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: Why is the millicandela rating different between the two parts?

A: The 5510509F (29mcd) provides higher brightness than the 5602F1-5V (8mcd). For circuit board indicator applications, increased brightness is operationally acceptable and improves visibility. This difference does not prevent substitution.

Q: Are there differences in peak wavelength between these parts?

A: The 5602F1-5V operates at 655nm while the 5510509F operates at 635nm. Both wavelengths fall within the red spectrum and are visually indistinguishable in standard indicator applications. This variation does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5602F1-5V is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5510509F is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects procurement and handling but does not impact component performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5602F1-5V and 5510509F are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use the 5510509F in new designs?

A: Yes. The 5510509F is in active production status and is suitable for both replacement applications and new design implementations. The 5602F1-5V is obsolete and should not be specified for new designs.
