LED Circuit Board Indicator 5693F5_7_7-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5693F5_7_7-A is a LED Circuit Board Indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), configured as a 3 High assembly with one green LED and two yellow LEDs. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

The 5693F5_7_7-A operates at 2.2V for the green element and 2.1V for the yellow elements, with a rated current of 30mA for both colors. The assembly features a 3mm round lens with domed top in a T-1 package format. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing alternatives that maintain functional compatibility is necessary for system continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5693F5_7_7-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Configuration Match: The substitute must maintain a 3 High assembly with identical color arrangement (1 Green, 2 Yellow).

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage ratings and current specifications must be compatible with the original circuit design. The substitute 5642200233F operates at 2.1V for both green and yellow elements, which is within acceptable tolerance for green operation (original 2.2V) and identical for yellow operation (original 2.1V). Current ratings of 30mA green and 20mA yellow in the substitute are compatible with the original 30mA specification for both colors.

Optical Parameters: Peak wavelengths must align with the original specification. The substitute provides 565nm green (original 562nm) and 585nm yellow (original 585nm), maintaining color consistency.

Physical Form Factor: Lens style (round with domed top) and size (3mm) must match to ensure mechanical fit within the circuit board assembly.

Compliance Requirements: Both parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status for regulatory continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5642200233F from Dialight is a functional equivalent for the obsolete 5693F5_7_7-A based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications subject to environmental directives.

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute operates within acceptable voltage and current parameters. The 2.1V green rating of the substitute is compatible with the original 2.2V specification, and the 20mA yellow current rating is compatible with the original 30mA specification.

Optical Consistency: Peak wavelengths remain within acceptable tolerance for color perception and circuit board indicator applications. The 565nm green and 585nm yellow wavelengths maintain visual consistency with the original assembly.

Product Availability: The 5642200233F is actively manufactured and maintained in inventory, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete 5693F5_7_7-A.

Mechanical Consideration: The substitute features a right-angle through-hole mounting configuration, whereas the original uses straight mounting. Circuit board layout modifications may be required to accommodate this mounting orientation difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5642200233F directly replace the 5693F5_7_7-A without circuit modifications?

A: The 5642200233F is electrically and optically compatible with the 5693F5_7_7-A. However, the mounting configuration differs: the original uses straight mounting while the substitute uses right-angle through-hole mounting. Circuit board layout assessment is required to determine if physical modifications are necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the higher millicandela ratings in the substitute?

A: The 5642200233F provides 40mcd green and 70mcd yellow compared to the original 16mcd green and 6.3mcd yellow. Higher brightness may affect visual perception in the application. Circuit design should be evaluated to ensure the increased brightness is acceptable or if current-limiting adjustments are needed.

Q: Are there voltage compatibility concerns with the 2.1V green rating of the substitute versus the 2.2V original?

A: The 0.1V difference between the original 2.2V and substitute 2.1V green rating is within acceptable tolerance for LED circuit board indicator applications. This represents a 4.5% variance and does not constitute a compatibility issue.

Q: What is the impact of the 20mA yellow current rating in the substitute versus the 30mA original?

A: The substitute yellow current rating of 20mA is lower than the original 30mA specification. This indicates the substitute yellow LED operates at reduced current capacity. Circuit design must ensure that the application does not require the full 30mA yellow current specification.

Q: Are both components suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 and REACH compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 5693F5_7_7-A and 5642200233F maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for applications subject to these regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the 5642200233F?

A: The 5642200233F is supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory management and component handling procedures should account for bulk packaging format compared to the original part's packaging specification.
