5UBWC-0.6K LED Blue Clear T-1 3/4 Through-Hole Indicator

Part Overview

The 5UBWC-0.6K is an active, blue LED indication component designed for through-hole mounting applications. It features a 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor with a domed clear lens, delivering 600 millicandela of luminous intensity. The device operates at a forward voltage of 3.8V with a 20mA test current and provides a 35° viewing angle. This component is ROHS3 compliant and carries an unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Alternative models become necessary when design constraints require different electrical characteristics, optical performance parameters, or availability considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5UBWC-0.6K is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Color & Wavelength: Must be blue (470nm peak wavelength)
• Lens Configuration: 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor with clear lens transparency
• Mounting Type: Through-hole radial package required
• Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage and test current within acceptable design tolerances
• Optical Performance: Millicandela rating and viewing angle must support the intended application
• Compliance & Status: Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The OVLLB8C7 from TT Electronics/Optek Technology qualifies as a functional substitute based on shared blue spectral characteristics, identical 5mm lens size, through-hole radial mounting, compatible electrical parameters (3.2V forward voltage), and equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5UBWC-0.6K and OVLLB8C7 maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent moisture sensitivity levels, establishing baseline compatibility for regulatory and supply chain requirements. The selection between these components should account for the specific parameter variances documented in the comparison table. The 5UBWC-0.6K provides higher luminous intensity (600mcd vs. 440mcd) and a narrower viewing angle (35° vs. 85°), suitable for applications requiring focused indication. The OVLLB8C7 operates at lower forward voltage (3.2V vs. 3.8V), offers wider viewing angle performance, and provides a lower profile (6.80mm vs. 8.50mm height). The lens style differs—domed versus flat top—which affects light distribution characteristics. Circuit design parameters, physical space constraints, and optical coverage requirements determine appropriate component selection within this qualified substitute group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OVLLB8C7 replace the 5UBWC-0.6K in all applications?

A: The OVLLB8C7 qualifies as a functional substitute based on color, wavelength, form factor, mounting type, and compliance equivalence. However, differences in millicandela rating (600mcd vs. 440mcd), viewing angle (35° vs. 85°), forward voltage (3.8V vs. 3.2V), and lens style (domed vs. flat) require evaluation against specific design requirements. Applications with strict illumination intensity or viewing angle specifications must account for these electrical and optical variances.

Q: What electrical differences exist between these components?

A: The 5UBWC-0.6K operates at 3.8V forward voltage while the OVLLB8C7 operates at 3.2V. Both share identical 20mA test current specifications. Circuit resistor calculations and power supply voltage must accommodate the 0.6V difference in forward voltage drop to ensure proper operation.

Q: Are the mechanical packages interchangeable?

A: Both components utilize through-hole radial mounting with 5mm T-1 3/4 lens sizing, establishing mechanical compatibility for PCB placement. Physical height differs (8.50mm vs. 6.80mm), which may affect board layout in space-constrained designs. Lens style variation (domed vs. flat top) affects light diffusion patterns and must be considered for optical requirements.

Q: Do these components meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both the 5UBWC-0.6K and OVLLB8C7 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). The OVLLB8C7 carries additional REACH Unaffected status. Both share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications.

Q: What is the primary optical difference between these LEDs?

A: The 5UBWC-0.6K delivers 600 millicandela at a 35° viewing angle, providing concentrated illumination. The OVLLB8C7 delivers 440 millicandela at an 85° viewing angle, distributing light across a wider area. The domed lens style of the 5UBWC-0.6K differs from the flat-top lens of the OVLLB8C7, affecting light distribution characteristics.
