Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5612R7 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Color: Yellow
• Configuration: Single LED
• Forward Current: 20mA
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Forward Voltage: 2.1V to 2.2V range
• Wavelength: 583nm to 585nm range
• Lens Size: Mechanical envelope within 7.00mm to 7.30mm width and 2.40mm to 2.50mm height

The Dialight 5614301055F meets all primary substitution criteria and operates within acceptable secondary parameter ranges, establishing it as a functional equivalent for the obsolete 5612R7.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Dialight 5614301055F is the qualified substitute for the obsolete VCC 5612R7 based on the following engineering factors:

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

Electrical Parameters: The 5614301055F operates at 2.1V forward voltage compared to the 5612R7's 2.2V, representing a 4.5% variance within acceptable tolerance for LED circuit board indicator applications. Both components draw 20mA forward current, ensuring circuit design compatibility without modification.

Optical Characteristics: The substitute delivers 8mcd luminous intensity compared to the original 5mcd, providing enhanced visibility. Peak wavelength variance of 2nm (583nm versus 585nm) remains imperceptible to human vision and maintains yellow color perception consistency.

Mechanical Compatibility: The rectangular flat-top lens geometry is identical. Lens dimensions vary by 0.30mm in width and 0.10mm in height, representing minor envelope differences that accommodate standard through-hole PCB mounting patterns without design revision.

Product Availability: The 5614301055F maintains active product status with 1855 units in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity for production and field replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5614301055F directly replace the VCC 5612R7 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components operate at 20mA forward current with forward voltages within 0.1V (2.1V versus 2.2V). Standard LED series resistor calculations accommodate this variance. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the significance of the luminous intensity difference (5mcd versus 8mcd)?

A: The 5614301055F provides 60% higher luminous intensity. This results in brighter indicator output while maintaining the same electrical current draw. Applications requiring the original brightness level can implement optical masking or reduced current operation if necessary.

Q: Are the lens size differences (7.30mm x 2.40mm versus 7.00mm x 2.50mm) significant for PCB layout?

A: The dimensional variance is minor. The 5614301055F is 0.30mm narrower and 0.10mm taller. Standard through-hole PCB designs accommodate both envelope sizes without modification. Verify mechanical clearance in confined mounting areas.

Q: Do both components meet current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 5612R7 and 5614301055F are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current EU and international environmental standards.

Q: What is the wavelength difference impact (585nm versus 583nm)?

A: The 2nm variance is negligible for human perception. Both wavelengths produce identical yellow color appearance in circuit board indicator applications. No functional difference exists.

Q: Is the 5614301055F available for immediate procurement?

A: Yes. The Dialight 5614301055F maintains active product status with 1855 units in current inventory, ensuring supply availability for production and replacement applications.
