Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5UWC-0.8K-F is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Lens size and form factor: 5mm, T-1 3/4 with round domed top lens
• Mounting type: Through hole radial configuration
• Color: White
• Lens transparency: Clear
• Physical dimensions: Maximum height of 8.60mm

Functional Parameters:

• Forward voltage (Vf): 3.5V nominal operation
• Current rating: 30mA test current
• Brightness: 800mcd millicandela rating
• Viewing angle: 25° standard viewing geometry

The SSL-LX5093UWC/A from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. qualifies as a substitute based on matching the primary compatibility criteria of form factor, mounting type, color, and lens specifications. This component maintains through-hole radial mounting with identical 5mm T-1 3/4 lens geometry and 8.60mm maximum height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSL-LX5093UWC/A serves as a suitable replacement for the obsolete 5UWC-0.8K-F based on form factor and mechanical compatibility. The substitute part maintains identical physical dimensions and mounting characteristics, ensuring direct board-level replacement without mechanical redesign.

The SSL-LX5093UWC/A is classified as Active in product status with RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, providing sustained supply availability and regulatory alignment for modern applications.

Circuit designers should account for the following parameter variations during implementation: forward voltage of 3.6V (0.1V higher than the original), test current of 20mA (10mA lower than the original), brightness of 740mcd (60mcd lower than the original), and wider viewing angle of 45° (20° wider than the original). These electrical and photometric differences require verification within the specific application context to confirm functional equivalency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 5UWC-0.8K-F no longer available? A: The 5UWC-0.8K-F has been classified as an obsolete product and is no longer manufactured by Bivar Inc. The SSL-LX5093UWC/A from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. provides mechanical and form-factor compatibility with active production status.

Q: Can the SSL-LX5093UWC/A be directly substituted on the printed circuit board? A: Yes. The SSL-LX5093UWC/A shares identical mechanical specifications with the 5UWC-0.8K-F, including 5mm T-1 3/4 lens geometry, radial through-hole mounting, and 8.60mm maximum height, allowing direct board-level placement without physical modification.

Q: What electrical differences exist between these two parts? A: The SSL-LX5093UWC/A operates at 3.6V forward voltage compared to 3.5V for the original, has a test current of 20mA versus 30mA, produces 740mcd versus 800mcd brightness, and features a 45° viewing angle compared to 25°. Circuit designers must evaluate these differences for application suitability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the parts? A: The original 5UWC-0.8K-F provides no stated RoHS or REACH compliance information. The SSL-LX5093UWC/A is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, making it suitable for applications requiring modern regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the supply status of the SSL-LX5093UWC/A? A: The SSL-LX5093UWC/A is currently in Active production status with 1033 pieces available in inventory as new original stock.
