Dialight 5680701111 LED Circuit Board Indicator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Dialight 5680701111 is a 4-high LED circuit board indicator featuring simultaneous green and red LEDs in a 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part delivers 10mA operation with clear lens optics and 60° viewing angle, designed for standard PCB mounting in indicator applications requiring dual-color status signaling.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5680701111 is determined by the following critical parameters: configuration (4-high dual-color), lens diameter (3mm nominal), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and electrical characteristics (10mA operation, 2.1V/2V forward voltage). Parts meeting these core criteria are classified as direct or similar substitutes based on compliance status and physical compatibility.

Direct Substitute (Same Manufacturer): 5680701111F maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance. Packaging differs (bulk vs. standard), but functional performance is equivalent.

Similar Substitute (Cross-Manufacturer): WP937SB/4EGW from Kingbright provides functionally compatible 4-high dual-color LED configuration with through-hole right-angle mounting. Variations exist in lens diameter (2.90mm vs. 3mm), current rating (20mA vs. 10mA), and luminous intensity, requiring circuit-level evaluation for compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: 5680701111F is the preferred substitute. It maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical form factor while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance. This part eliminates obsolescence risk and satisfies modern regulatory requirements without circuit modification.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: WP937SB/4EGW from Kingbright is suitable only when circuit design accommodates higher current draw (20mA vs. 10mA) and increased luminous intensity (16mcd/20mcd vs. 10mcd/4.7mcd). The 0.1mm lens diameter reduction and diffused lens type alter optical characteristics and may affect visual appearance in the application. Voltage ratings remain compatible within standard tolerance ranges.

Compliance Considerations: Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use 5680701111F or verify WP937SB/4EGW compliance status independently. The original 5680701111 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for new designs subject to regulatory restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5680701111F be used as a direct drop-in replacement for 5680701111?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (10mA, 2.1V/2V), mechanical dimensions (3mm T-1), and mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle). The only difference is packaging format and product status. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between 5680701111 and WP937SB/4EGW?

A: The Kingbright part operates at double the current (20mA vs. 10mA), delivers higher luminous intensity (16mcd/20mcd vs. 10mcd/4.7mcd), features a diffused lens instead of clear, and has a slightly smaller diameter (2.90mm vs. 3mm). These differences require circuit-level compatibility assessment.

Q: Is WP937SB/4EGW mechanically compatible with the original PCB footprint?

A: The 0.1mm lens diameter reduction is typically accommodated by standard PCB mounting holes, but the diffused lens type produces different optical output. Physical fit is likely compatible; visual performance may differ.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new product designs?

A: 5680701111F is recommended for new designs. It provides active product status, RoHS3 compliance, and identical performance characteristics, eliminating obsolescence and regulatory concerns.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: 5680701111F has significantly higher stock availability (2979 pcs vs. 675 pcs for the original), supporting production continuity and reducing lead time risk.
