LED Circuit Board Indicator 5693F7_7_7-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5693F7_7_7-A is a LED Circuit Board Indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC). This component is a 3-high yellow LED assembly configured for through-hole, right-angle mounting on circuit boards. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support.

The 3mm T-1 form factor with domed lens provides standard circuit board indication functionality. Substitution is necessary due to the obsolete status of the original part, requiring selection from active product alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5693F7_7_7-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 2.1V (must match)
• Color: Yellow (x 3) configuration (must match)
• Wavelength - Peak: 585nm (must match)
• Configuration: 3 High (must match)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (must match)
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top (must match)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (must match)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (must match)

The substitute part 5700100333F from Dialight meets all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. Variations in current rating (10mA vs. 20mA), millicandela rating (6.3mcd vs. 12.6mcd), lens size (3mm vs. 2.00mm), and lens type (standard vs. diffused, tinted) represent acceptable parameter differences within the scope of circuit board indicator substitution, provided the circuit design accommodates these variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution:

The 5700100333F from Dialight is the identified substitute for the obsolete 5693F7_7_7-A. Both components maintain identical voltage rating (2.1V), color specification (yellow, 3-high configuration), wavelength (585nm), and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle). Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Considerations for Implementation:

The 5700100333F operates at 20mA compared to the original 10mA specification, resulting in higher brightness output (12.6mcd vs. 6.3mcd). The substitute features a smaller lens diameter (2.00mm vs. 3mm) and includes diffused, tinted lens treatment. These differences may affect visual appearance and circuit board layout fit. Circuit design must accommodate the higher current requirement.

The active product status of the 5700100333F ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5700100333F be used as a direct replacement for the 5693F7_7_7-A?

A: The 5700100333F meets all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements: identical voltage rating (2.1V), color (yellow, 3-high), wavelength (585nm), and mounting type (through-hole, right-angle). The substitute is suitable for applications where the higher current requirement (20mA vs. 10mA) and increased brightness (12.6mcd vs. 6.3mcd) are acceptable.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: current rating (10mA vs. 20mA), brightness output (6.3mcd vs. 12.6mcd), lens diameter (3mm vs. 2.00mm), and lens treatment (standard vs. diffused, tinted). The substitute also provides a specified viewing angle of 38°.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5693F7_7_7-A and 5700100333F are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Will the smaller lens size of the 5700100333F affect circuit board layout?

A: The 5700100333F has a lens diameter of 2.00mm compared to the original 3mm T-1 size. This dimensional difference may require circuit board layout verification to ensure proper fit and clearance in the intended application.

Q: What is the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 5693F7_7_7-A is classified as obsolete, while the 5700100333F is an active product. Active product status ensures continued manufacturing, availability, and supply chain support.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the substitute require circuit modifications?

A: The 5700100333F operates at 20mA compared to the original 10mA. Circuit design must accommodate this higher current requirement through appropriate current-limiting resistor selection and power supply capacity verification.
