Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5UWC16.030C is determined by the following critical parameters:

Physical Compatibility:

• Lens size: 5mm, T-1 3/4 form factor
• Mounting type: Through hole radial configuration
• Height maximum: 8.50mm (main part) to 8.70mm (acceptable tolerance)
• Lens style: Round with domed top
• Lens transparency: Clear

Electrical Compatibility:

• Forward voltage (Vf): 3.4V nominal (tolerance range 3.3V to 3.4V acceptable)
• Test current: 20mA
• Millicandela rating: 16000mcd minimum
• Color: White LED indication

Environmental & Regulatory:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8541.41.0000

The LTW-2S3D7 from Lite-On Inc. meets these substitution criteria across all critical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LTW-2S3D7 from Lite-On Inc. is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5UWC16.030C. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The main part 5UWC16.030C is obsolete. The LTW-2S3D7 is active and available with 16640 pieces in stock, ensuring procurement continuity.

Electrical Parameters: Forward voltage differs by 0.1V (3.4V vs. 3.3V), which is within acceptable tolerance for LED indication circuits. Both components operate at identical 20mA test current and deliver 16000mcd brightness.

Physical Compatibility: Both components share identical 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor, through-hole radial mounting, clear lens, and round domed top lens style. Height difference of 0.20mm (8.50mm vs. 8.70mm) is negligible for PCB clearance considerations.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. The LTW-2S3D7 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Viewing Angle Consideration: The LTW-2S3D7 has a narrower viewing angle (15° vs. 30°). This parameter difference must be evaluated against specific application requirements for light distribution and visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LTW-2S3D7 be used as a direct replacement for the 5UWC16.030C?

A: The LTW-2S3D7 is electrically and mechanically compatible for through-hole PCB mounting. The 0.1V forward voltage difference (3.3V vs. 3.4V) is within standard LED tolerance ranges. However, the narrower viewing angle (15° vs. 30°) must be evaluated for your specific application's visibility requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the viewing angle difference?

A: The 5UWC16.030C provides a 30° viewing angle, while the LTW-2S3D7 provides 15°. A narrower viewing angle concentrates light output in a smaller cone, which may affect visibility from off-axis positions. Applications requiring wide-angle visibility should account for this difference.

Q: Are there any height clearance issues with the LTW-2S3D7?

A: The LTW-2S3D7 is 0.20mm taller (8.70mm vs. 8.50mm). This difference is negligible for standard PCB applications and should not create clearance conflicts in typical through-hole designs.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The LTW-2S3D7 has 16640 pieces in stock as new original inventory, compared to 709 pieces available for the obsolete 5UWC16.030C. The substitute offers significantly better procurement availability.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Both components share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The LTW-2S3D7 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and trade regulations. The obsolete 5UWC16.030C status makes the active LTW-2S3D7 the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing support.

Q: What packaging format is the LTW-2S3D7 supplied in?

A: The LTW-2S3D7 is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the standard packaging of the 5UWC16.030C. Confirm bulk packaging requirements with your procurement process.
