LED CBI 7.3X2.4MM YELLOW RA (5620R7) - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5620R7 is a through-hole, right-angle mounted LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component features a single yellow tinted lens with a rectangular flat-top design measuring 7.30mm x 2.40mm. The part operates at 2.2V with a 20mA current rating and delivers 5mcd luminous intensity at a peak wavelength of 585nm.

The 5620R7 carries an Obsolete product status. Locating equivalent substitute components is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for legacy systems utilizing this indicator.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Dialight 5660307F

The 5660307F is the designated substitute for the obsolete 5620R7. This component maintains active product status with Dialight, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory standing.

Electrical parameters align within acceptable engineering tolerances: the 5660307F operates at 2.1V compared to the 5620R7's 2.2V, representing a 0.1V differential within standard LED forward voltage variation. Both components are rated for 20mA operation. The wavelength specifications (583nm versus 585nm) remain within the yellow spectrum classification and are functionally equivalent for indicator applications.

The 5660307F features a diffused, tinted lens compared to the 5620R7's tinted lens, resulting in a 3.5mcd luminous intensity versus 5mcd. This represents a 30% reduction in brightness. For applications where luminous intensity is critical to system function, this parameter difference must be evaluated against specific design requirements.

Both components utilize identical mounting architecture: through-hole, right-angle configuration with rectangular flat-top lens geometry. This ensures mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and connector interfaces designed for the 5620R7.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5660307F directly replace the VCC 5620R7 in existing designs?

A: The 5660307F is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 5620R7 for through-hole, right-angle PCB mounting applications. Both components share identical mounting type, lens style, current rating, and regulatory compliance. The primary design consideration is the luminous intensity difference: the 5660307F delivers 3.5mcd versus the 5620R7's 5mcd. Designs dependent on specific brightness levels require evaluation of this parameter.

Q: What is the significance of the lens type difference (Tinted versus Diffused, Tinted)?

A: The 5620R7 features a tinted lens, while the 5660307F features a diffused, tinted lens. Diffused lenses scatter light across a wider viewing angle, which the 5660307F specifies as 110°. This optical difference affects light distribution and perceived brightness uniformity. Applications requiring specific optical characteristics should account for this distinction.

Q: Are there voltage compatibility concerns between 2.2V and 2.1V ratings?

A: LED forward voltage ratings represent typical operating points. A 0.1V difference between the 5620R7 (2.2V) and 5660307F (2.1V) falls within standard LED manufacturing tolerances and circuit design margins. Both components operate at 20mA, and standard current-limiting resistor calculations accommodate this voltage range without modification.

Q: What does the Obsolete status of the 5620R7 mean for procurement?

A: Obsolete status indicates the 5620R7 is no longer manufactured by VCC and is not available through standard distribution channels. Existing inventory may be available through specialized electronics distributors, but long-term supply is not guaranteed. The 5660307F, with Active status, provides assured ongoing availability for new designs and production requirements.

Q: Are both components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5620R7 and 5660307F carry ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory standing for applications subject to these requirements.

Q: Does the unspecified lens size for the 5660307F affect compatibility?

A: The 5660307F is specified as 2MM x 5MM in the product description, compared to the 5620R7's 7.30mm x 2.40mm lens size. The rectangular flat-top geometry and through-hole right-angle mounting remain consistent. PCB layout compatibility depends on specific footprint requirements; physical dimensions should be verified against design specifications before implementation.
