LED Circuit Board Indicator 5693F1_1_1-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5693F1_1_1-A is a LED Circuit Board Indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), configured as a 3-high red LED assembly with 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

The primary reason for identifying substitute parts is the obsolete product status of the 5693F1_1_1-A. Active equivalent models ensure design flexibility, extended component availability, and compliance with current supply chain requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5693F1_1_1-A are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Configuration Match: 3-high LED assembly structure Color Match: Red LED (x 3) Voltage Compatibility: 2V operating voltage Mounting Type: Through-hole, right-angle orientation Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The substitute part 5700100111F (Dialight) maintains the core functional requirements of a 3-high red LED circuit board indicator with 2V operation and right-angle through-hole mounting. Variations in lens size (2mm vs. 3mm), current rating (20mA vs. 10mA), wavelength (635nm vs. 650nm), and millicandela rating (12.6mcd vs. 10mcd) represent design trade-offs within the LED indicator category and do not preclude functional substitution when circuit design accommodates these parameter differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The 5700100111F (Dialight) is the identified substitute for the obsolete 5693F1_1_1-A. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity. The substitute part carries active product status, providing long-term supply chain stability.

Parameter Considerations: The substitute part operates at 20mA versus the original 10mA specification. Circuit designs must accommodate this increased current draw. The 2mm lens diameter of the substitute is smaller than the original 3mm lens, which may affect mechanical fit in existing PCB layouts and viewing angle characteristics. The wavelength shift from 650nm to 635nm represents a minor spectral difference within the red LED spectrum and does not affect functional indication capability.

Compliance Assurance: Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry EAR99 export classification. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts eliminates moisture sensitivity concerns during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5700100111F directly replace the 5693F1_1_1-A in existing designs? A: Functional replacement is possible with circuit design verification. The substitute operates at 20mA versus 10mA, requiring confirmation that the driving circuit can supply this current. The 2mm lens diameter is smaller than the original 3mm, necessitating mechanical fit assessment in the PCB layout.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference (650nm vs. 635nm)? A: Both wavelengths fall within the red LED spectrum. The 15nm difference represents a minor spectral shift and does not affect the functional indication purpose of the component.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts? A: No. Both the 5693F1_1_1-A and 5700100111F maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Why is the lens size different between the two parts? A: The 5700100111F uses a 2mm lens diameter compared to the 3mm T-1 lens of the original part. This represents a design variation within the LED indicator category. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be verified before substitution.

Q: Does the higher millicandela rating (12.6mcd vs. 10mcd) affect compatibility? A: The higher brightness of the substitute part does not prevent substitution. If the original design required the lower brightness specification, circuit design modifications may be necessary to limit current or adjust resistor values.

Q: What is the impact of the diffused, tinted lens type on the substitute part? A: The diffused, tinted lens of the 5700100111F affects light distribution and color saturation compared to the original part. Visual appearance may differ in the application, but functional indication capability is maintained.

Q: Is the right-angle mounting orientation identical between both parts? A: Yes. Both components feature through-hole, right-angle mounting, ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB designs that accommodate the lens size difference.
