LED Circuit Board Indicator 5602F3-5V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5602F3-5V is a 3mm through-hole LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement. The 5602F3-5V features a single amber diffused lens with right-angle mounting configuration, rated for 5V operation at 10mA current draw. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent alternatives must be evaluated to maintain circuit functionality and design compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the 5602F3-5V is based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Color: Amber
• Configuration: Single LED
• Current Rating: 10mA
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Lens Type: Diffused, Tinted
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Considerations:

• Voltage Rating compatibility within circuit design constraints
• Millicandela output for brightness requirements
• Wavelength peak for color consistency
• Physical form factor and lens geometry

The substitute part 5505404F from Dialight meets the core functional requirements of amber color, single configuration, 10mA current rating, through-hole right-angle mounting, diffused tinted lens, and equivalent environmental compliance ratings. Variations in voltage rating (3V vs. 5V), millicandela output (17mcd vs. 8mcd), and wavelength peak (610nm vs. 583nm) represent measurable differences that must be evaluated within specific circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5505404F from Dialight is an active product substitute for the obsolete 5602F3-5V. Both components share identical current ratings (10mA), mounting configuration (through-hole right angle), lens characteristics (diffused tinted amber), and environmental compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1).

Key Differences Requiring Circuit Evaluation:

The 5505404F operates at 3V nominal voltage compared to the 5602F3-5V at 5V. Circuit designs must accommodate this voltage difference through appropriate series resistor adjustment or power supply modification. The 5505404F provides higher luminous intensity (17mcd vs. 8mcd) and operates at a longer wavelength peak (610nm vs. 583nm), resulting in a slightly more orange-tinted amber appearance.

Both components maintain equivalent environmental performance and regulatory compliance. The active product status of the 5505404F ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 5602F3-5V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5505404F directly replace the 5602F3-5V without circuit modification?

A: Direct pin-for-pin replacement is possible due to identical through-hole right-angle mounting. However, the 3V operating voltage of the 5505404F differs from the 5V rating of the 5602F3-5V. Circuit designs must be evaluated to determine if voltage adjustment is required. Current rating remains constant at 10mA for both components.

Q: What is the visible difference between the two amber LEDs?

A: The 5505404F operates at 610nm peak wavelength compared to 583nm for the 5602F3-5V, producing a slightly more orange-tinted amber color. The 5505404F also provides higher brightness at 17mcd versus 8mcd. These differences may be perceptible in side-by-side comparison but both are classified as amber indicators.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5602F3-5V and 5505404F are ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Environmental and regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two components.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the 5602F3-5V?

A: The 5602F3-5V is classified as obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured or supported by Visual Communications Company. The 5505404F from Dialight is an active product with ongoing availability, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability and design continuity.

Q: Does the higher millicandela rating of the 5505404F affect circuit design?

A: The 5505404F provides 17mcd compared to 8mcd for the 5602F3-5V. This increased brightness is a result of the component design and does not require circuit modification. The 10mA current rating remains identical, so existing current-limiting resistor values remain valid.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The 5602F3-5V is specified with standard through-hole packaging. The 5505404F is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components use identical through-hole right-angle mounting configuration suitable for printed circuit board assembly.
