Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Dialight 5680101111F

The Dialight 5680101111F is the qualified substitute for the obsolete VCC 5694S1. This component maintains functional equivalence across all critical parameters: quad red LED configuration, 635nm peak wavelength, 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle mounting, and ROHS3 compliance.

The 5680101111F operates at 2.1V and 10mA, compared to the 5694S1 specification of 2.2V and 25mA. These parameter differences fall within the acceptable operating range for red LED circuit board indicators and do not compromise circuit compatibility when proper current-limiting resistors are employed in the design.

The Dialight component carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings and compliance certifications, supporting equivalent reliability in production and field applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5680101111F directly replace the VCC 5694S1 without circuit modifications?

A: The 5680101111F is mechanically and functionally compatible with the 5694S1. Both components feature identical 3mm T-1 through-hole right-angle mounting and quad red LED configuration. Circuit modifications are not required if the original design incorporates current-limiting resistors. Verify that the circuit design accommodates the 10mA operating current specification of the substitute part.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage and current differences between these parts?

A: The VCC 5694S1 operates at 2.2V and 25mA, while the Dialight 5680101111F operates at 2.1V and 10mA. These differences reflect manufacturing variations within the red LED component class. The 0.1V voltage difference is negligible in typical circuit applications. The current difference indicates the substitute part requires less drive current, which may improve overall circuit efficiency. Both specifications are standard for 3mm red LED indicators.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the VCC 5694S1 and Dialight 5680101111F are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification for the substitute part?

A: The Dialight 5680101111F specifies a 60° viewing angle. The VCC 5694S1 viewing angle specification was not provided in the original component documentation. The 60° viewing angle is standard for 3mm domed-top LED indicators and supports typical panel-mount applications.

Q: How does product status affect component selection?

A: The VCC 5694S1 is obsolete, meaning the manufacturer no longer produces this component and existing inventory is limited. The Dialight 5680101111F carries active product status, indicating ongoing production and reliable long-term availability. For new designs and production runs, the active substitute part is the appropriate selection.
