LED Circuit Board Indicator 5610R5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5610R5 is a through-hole mounted LED circuit board indicator featuring a single green diffused lens with a rectangle flat-top design. This component operates at 2.3V with a 20mA current rating and delivers 3.5 millicandela output at a peak wavelength of 565nm. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The 7.30mm x 2.40mm form factor and through-hole mounting configuration define the primary mechanical constraints for substitution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5610R5 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Voltage Rating: 2.3V
• Current Rating: 20mA
• Color: Green
• Wavelength - Peak: 565nm
• Configuration: Single

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Lens Size: Dimensions within acceptable tolerance for PCB mounting footprint

Regulatory & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The Dialight 5614201081F meets all specified electrical parameters and regulatory requirements. Minor variations in lens dimensions (7.00mm x 2.50mm versus 7.30mm x 2.40mm) and millicandela output (2.5mcd versus 3.5mcd) remain within acceptable substitution parameters for circuit board indicator applications where the component functions as a status display element.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Dialight 5614201081F qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete VCC 5610R5 based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Electrical Equivalence: Identical voltage rating (2.3V), current rating (20mA), color specification (green), and peak wavelength (565nm) establish functional electrical compatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature through-hole mounting with rectangle flat-top lens geometry, supporting direct PCB footprint compatibility. Lens dimension variations (7.30mm x 2.40mm to 7.00mm x 2.50mm) fall within acceptable tolerances for circuit board indicator applications.

Product Status Advantage: The Dialight component maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete VCC part.

Brightness Consideration: The millicandela rating difference (3.5mcd to 2.5mcd) represents a 28.6% reduction in luminous intensity. This reduction is acceptable for indicator applications where the LED functions as a status display element rather than a high-brightness illumination source.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5614201081F directly replace the VCC 5610R5 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical through-hole mounting configurations and compatible lens geometries. The lens dimension variation (7.30mm x 2.40mm to 7.00mm x 2.50mm) does not prevent PCB footprint compatibility. Electrical parameters (voltage, current, wavelength) are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the millicandela rating difference?

A: The VCC 5610R5 delivers 3.5mcd while the Dialight 5614201081F delivers 2.5mcd. For circuit board indicator applications where the LED signals operational status, this 28.6% reduction in brightness remains functionally acceptable. Applications requiring maximum brightness output should evaluate this parameter against specific visibility requirements.

Q: Are there regulatory or compliance concerns with substitution?

A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating 1 (unlimited), and REACH unaffected status. Substitution does not introduce regulatory risk.

Q: Why is the VCC 5610R5 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The Dialight 5614201081F maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturing support, making it the appropriate long-term component selection.

Q: Does the viewing angle specification affect substitution?

A: The Dialight component specifies a 100° viewing angle while the VCC component does not provide this specification. The 100° viewing angle of the substitute component supports broad-angle visibility typical of circuit board indicator applications.
