Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5XRC2.723 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Forward voltage (Vf) of 2.2V
• Test current of 20mA
• Red color spectrum (peak wavelength in the 625-640nm range)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Through-hole mounting configuration
• 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor
• Radial package orientation
• Round domed lens style with clear transparency
• Maximum height within 8.85mm specification

Performance Parameters:

• Millicandela rating within acceptable operational range (2700mcd baseline)
• Viewing angle compatible with application requirements (23° baseline)

The substitute part XLM2CRK14W from SunLED meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, with active product status and enhanced availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XLM2CRK14W from SunLED is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 5XRC2.723. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components operate at identical forward voltage (2.2V) and test current (20mA), ensuring circuit compatibility without modification to current-limiting resistor calculations.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical form factor (5mm T-1 3/4), mounting type (through-hole radial), and lens configuration (round domed clear), permitting direct PCB footprint substitution.

Performance Alignment: The XLM2CRK14W provides equivalent or superior performance with 2890mcd brightness (versus 2700mcd) and a wider 30° viewing angle (versus 23°), maintaining or exceeding the original design intent.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, with the XLM2CRK14W additionally certified as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental standards.

Availability: The XLM2CRK14W is in active production with substantial inventory (24,666 pcs), eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XLM2CRK14W be used as a direct replacement for the 5XRC2.723 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components operate at 2.2V forward voltage and 20mA test current. No changes to series resistor values or circuit topology are required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB mounting?

A: Yes. Both components use the 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole radial package. The XLM2CRK14W maximum height of 8.60mm is within the 8.85mm specification of the original part, ensuring clearance compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in brightness between these two LEDs?

A: The XLM2CRK14W provides 2890mcd compared to the 5XRC2.723 at 2700mcd, representing a 7% increase in luminous intensity. This enhancement maintains or exceeds the original design brightness specification.

Q: How do the viewing angles differ?

A: The 5XRC2.723 has a 23° viewing angle, while the XLM2CRK14W provides 30°. The wider viewing angle of the substitute part expands the angular range for LED visibility without compromising performance in the original 23° specification.

Q: Are there wavelength differences between these components?

A: The 5XRC2.723 has a peak wavelength of 630nm, while the XLM2CRK14W is specified at 640nm. Both wavelengths fall within the red spectrum and are visually indistinguishable in typical indication applications.

Q: What is the product status difference?

A: The 5XRC2.723 is obsolete and no longer manufactured by Bivar Inc. The XLM2CRK14W is in active production by SunLED, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels equivalent?

A: Yes. Both components are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Does the XLM2CRK14W meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. The XLM2CRK14W is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. The original 5XRC2.723 compliance status is not specified.
