Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5690F11 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The following parameters define acceptable substitution:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Color: Red (x 2)
• Wavelength - Peak: 635nm
• Configuration: 2 High
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Lens Size: 3mm, T-1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Within circuit design tolerance
• Current Rating: Within circuit design tolerance
• Lens Type: Tinted or Diffused/Tinted variants
• Product Status: Active preferred for long-term availability

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

5682F1_1 (VCC): Direct manufacturer alternative with identical mechanical configuration and optical specifications. Voltage rating increases from 1.9V to 2.2V; current remains at 10mA. Product status is active.

5530111200F (Dialight): Cross-manufacturer alternative with identical mechanical configuration and optical specifications. Voltage rating is 2V; current increases to 20mA. Lens type includes diffused component. Viewing angle specified at 60°. Product status is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5682F1_1 (VCC) - Primary Substitute:

This part is the preferred substitute for the 5690F11. Both components are manufactured by VCC and share identical mechanical and optical specifications. The 5682F1_1 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The voltage rating increase from 1.9V to 2.2V represents a 0.3V differential within typical circuit design margins. Current rating remains constant at 10mA. ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating are identical. This substitute requires no mechanical redesign and maintains full functional equivalence within standard circuit tolerance parameters.

5530111200F (Dialight) - Secondary Substitute:

This cross-manufacturer alternative provides functional equivalence with additional design considerations. The Dialight 5530111200F maintains identical mechanical configuration and optical wavelength. The voltage rating of 2V falls between the original 1.9V and the VCC alternative 2.2V. Current rating increases to 20mA, requiring circuit verification to confirm compatibility with existing current-limiting resistor values. The diffused lens component provides wider light distribution (60° viewing angle specified) compared to the tinted-only configuration of the original part. This substitute is suitable for applications where increased viewing angle is beneficial or neutral. ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating are identical. Compliance certifications match the original part.

Both substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original 5690F11.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5682F1_1 be used as a direct replacement for the 5690F11 without circuit modification?

A: The 5682F1_1 shares identical mechanical and optical specifications with the 5690F11. The voltage rating increases from 1.9V to 2.2V, a 0.3V differential. Current rating remains at 10mA. Direct substitution is permissible if the circuit design accommodates the higher voltage rating within standard tolerance parameters. No mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 5682F1_1 and 5530111200F substitutes?

A: Both parts maintain identical mechanical configuration and optical wavelength. The 5682F1_1 is manufactured by VCC (original manufacturer) with 10mA current rating and 2.2V voltage rating. The 5530111200F is manufactured by Dialight with 20mA current rating, 2V voltage rating, and a diffused lens component providing 60° viewing angle. Selection depends on circuit current capacity and desired light distribution characteristics.

Q: Does the 5530111200F's higher current rating (20mA vs. 10mA) affect substitution compatibility?

A: The 20mA current rating of the 5530111200F requires verification against the circuit's current-limiting resistor design. If the original circuit is designed for 10mA operation, the 5530111200F will draw double the current at the same voltage. Circuit analysis is necessary to confirm whether the existing resistor values are compatible or require adjustment.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 5690F11, 5682F1_1, and 5530111200F are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory compliance is maintained across all three parts.

Q: What is the significance of the lens type difference between the 5682F1_1 (Tinted) and 5530111200F (Diffused, Tinted)?

A: The 5682F1_1 features a tinted lens providing focused light output. The 5530111200F features a diffused, tinted lens providing wider light distribution at 60° viewing angle. The diffused component reduces peak brightness concentration but increases visibility across a wider viewing range. Selection depends on application requirements for light distribution and viewing angle.

Q: Why is the 5690F11 classified as obsolete?

A: The 5690F11 is no longer in active production. The 5682F1_1 and 5530111200F represent current production alternatives that maintain functional equivalence, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Can the 5682F1_1 and 5530111200F be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: Interchangeability requires circuit analysis. Both parts share identical mechanical and optical specifications. However, the voltage ratings (2.2V vs. 2V) and current ratings (10mA vs. 20mA) differ. The circuit must be verified to accommodate both the voltage differential and the potential current increase before interchangeable use is confirmed.
