Dialight 5988020102F Red 0603 SMD LED - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Dialight 5988020102F is an active red surface mount LED in 0603 (1608 Metric) package format, designed for indication applications. This part operates at 2V forward voltage with 240mcd brightness and features a clear, colorless lens with 140° viewing angle. The component is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production status with 1081 pieces available in strip packaging.

Substitute parts may be required due to packaging format availability, inventory constraints, or specific application requirements where alternative electrical or mechanical parameters are acceptable within system design tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Dialight 5988020102F is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) - physical footprint must match
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount - assembly process compatibility
• Color: Red - optical output requirement
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Operating range tolerance within system design
• Current - Test: 20mA standard test condition
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant - regulatory requirement

Secondary Consideration Parameters:

• Wavelength - Dominant: Red spectrum range (625nm to 647nm acceptable)
• Millicandela Rating: Brightness level for indication visibility
• Viewing Angle: Field of view for application placement
• Lens Transparency: Clear or diffused based on application need
• Packaging Format: Strip, Tape & Reel, or Cut Tape availability

The substitute parts listed below maintain the 0603 (1608 Metric) package footprint and surface mount compatibility while operating within acceptable red wavelength and voltage parameters for standard indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5988020107F (Dialight - Direct Substitute)

This part is functionally identical to the main part number with matching electrical specifications (2V, 240mcd, 625nm wavelength, 140° viewing angle). The primary difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Strip. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes. Moisture sensitivity level differs (MSL 3 vs MSL 2), which may impact storage and handling requirements.

APT1608SURCK (Kingbright - Similar Substitute)

This Kingbright part maintains 0603 (1608 Metric) package compatibility and surface mount assembly compatibility. Electrical parameters differ: 1.95V forward voltage (versus 2V), 80mcd brightness (versus 240mcd), and 630nm wavelength (versus 625nm). The 120° viewing angle is narrower than the main part. This substitute is suitable for applications where reduced brightness is acceptable and circuit design accommodates the lower forward voltage. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are maintained.

BR1111C-TR (Stanley Electric Co - Similar Substitute)

This part shares the 0603 (1608 Metric) package and surface mount mounting type. Significant parameter differences include: 1.7V forward voltage, 11.7mcd brightness (substantially lower), 647nm wavelength, and diffused lens transparency (versus clear). The product status is obsolete, indicating discontinued production. This substitute is not recommended for new designs due to obsolete status and substantially reduced brightness specification. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 4 (72 Hours), more restrictive than the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5988020107F directly replace 5988020102F in existing designs?

A: Yes, 5988020107F is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Strip). Both parts have identical 2V forward voltage, 240mcd brightness, 625nm wavelength, and 0603 (1608 Metric) footprint. Verify that your assembly process can accommodate Tape & Reel packaging format.

Q: What are the brightness differences between substitute options?

A: The main part and 5988020107F both provide 240mcd. APT1608SURCK provides 80mcd (33% of main part brightness). BR1111C-TR provides 11.7mcd (5% of main part brightness). Brightness selection depends on application visibility requirements and circuit current-limiting design.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts (5988020107F, APT1608SURCK, and BR1111C-TR) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the main part's regulatory status.

Q: What is the impact of different forward voltages on circuit design?

A: The main part operates at 2V. APT1608SURCK operates at 1.95V (50mV lower), and BR1111C-TR operates at 1.7V (300mV lower). Circuit current-limiting resistor values must be recalculated for each substitute to maintain proper LED current at 20mA test condition. Lower forward voltage reduces voltage drop across the LED, requiring higher series resistance to maintain constant current.

Q: Why is BR1111C-TR marked as obsolete?

A: BR1111C-TR carries obsolete product status, indicating Stanley Electric Co has discontinued this part. While 19,495 pieces are currently in inventory, future availability is not guaranteed. This part is not recommended for new product designs requiring long-term component supply.

Q: Can I use a diffused lens substitute instead of clear lens?

A: BR1111C-TR features a diffused white lens versus the clear colorless lens of the main part. Diffused lenses scatter light over a wider area with reduced peak brightness, while clear lenses provide more directional light output. Application requirements determine lens type suitability. The diffused lens also reduces the already-low 11.7mcd brightness specification.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The main part (5988020102F) is supplied in Strip format. 5988020107F is available in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly. APT1608SURCK is available in Tape & Reel (TR). BR1111C-TR is available in Cut Tape (CT). Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly equipment and processes.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels a concern for storage?

A: The main part has MSL 2 (1 Year storage at ≤30°C, ≤60% RH). 5988020107F has MSL 3 (168 Hours), and BR1111C-TR has MSL 4 (72 Hours). Lower MSL ratings require more controlled storage conditions and shorter shelf life. Verify storage environment compliance before selecting parts with higher MSL ratings.
