LED RED CLEAR 1206 SMD 7010X11 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Visual Communications Company 7010X11 is a red LED indication component in 1206 (3016 Metric) surface mount package configuration. This discrete LED operates at 1.7V forward voltage with 20mA test current and delivers 17mcd luminous intensity through a clear, colorless lens with rectangular flat-top geometry. The component is classified as obsolete product status, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7010X11 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Red
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package Category: 1206 (3016 or 3216 Metric variants)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 1.7V nominal operation
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Wavelength - Peak: 660nm region

Substitution Logic: Parts are grouped as equivalent when they maintain the same forward voltage (1.7V), test current (20mA), red color specification, and surface mount 1206 package format. Variations in millicandela rating, lens size dimensions, and viewing angle are secondary parameters that may differ between substitutes while maintaining functional equivalence in circuit operation. Parts with different forward voltages (such as 2V) or significantly different package metrics are classified as alternative options rather than direct equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (1.7V Forward Voltage, 660nm Peak Wavelength):

The parts 5973111407F (Dialight) and SML-LX1206SRC-TR (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.) function as direct electrical equivalents to the 7010X11. Both maintain the 1.7V forward voltage and 20mA test current specifications. The SML-LX1206SRC-TR carries active product status, providing superior long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 7010X11. The 5973111407F remains available in inventory but carries obsolete product classification.

Alternative Option (Different Forward Voltage):

The CMD15-21VRC/TR8 (VCC) operates at 2V forward voltage, representing a different electrical characteristic. This part is suitable only for applications where the circuit design accommodates 2V forward voltage operation. The lower millicandela rating (6mcd versus 17mcd) indicates reduced luminous intensity output.

Compliance and Certification:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory requirements of the original 7010X11. Moisture sensitivity levels vary between MSL 2 and MSL 3, requiring verification against specific storage and handling requirements for the application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SML-LX1206SRC-TR directly replace the 7010X11 in existing designs?

A: The SML-LX1206SRC-TR maintains electrical compatibility through identical 1.7V forward voltage and 20mA test current specifications. Physical package dimensions differ slightly (3.20mm L x 1.60mm W versus 3.00mm L x 1.50mm W), requiring verification of PCB layout constraints. The wider viewing angle (140° versus 70°) may affect optical performance in applications requiring directional light emission.

Q: What is the difference between the Dialight 5973111407F and 5973111402F?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1.7V, 20mA, 660nm peak wavelength, 33.6mcd). The primary difference is packaging format: 5973111407F is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while 5973111402F is supplied in Strip format. Both carry obsolete product status.

Q: Why does the CMD15-21VRC/TR8 have a different forward voltage?

A: The CMD15-21VRC/TR8 operates at 2V forward voltage, which is a distinct electrical characteristic. This part is not a direct equivalent and requires circuit redesign to accommodate the higher voltage drop. Selection of this part is appropriate only when the application circuit design supports 2V forward voltage operation.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status, matching the regulatory requirement of the original 7010X11. Verification of REACH status confirms all parts are REACH unaffected.

Q: What packaging options are available for production environments?

A: The SML-LX1206SRC-TR and CMD15-21VRC/TR8 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The 5973111407F is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while 5973111402F is supplied in Strip format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface mount production.

Q: How do millicandela ratings affect substitution decisions?

A: The 7010X11 delivers 17mcd luminous intensity. Substitute parts range from 6mcd (CMD15-21VRC/TR8) to 33.6mcd (Dialight parts). Higher millicandela ratings increase light output; lower ratings reduce output. Selection depends on the specific illumination requirements of the application circuit.

Q: What is the significance of lens style differences?

A: The 7010X11 features a rectangular lens with flat top; substitute parts include both rectangular (SML-LX1206SRC-TR, CMD15-21VRC/TR8) and round (Dialight 5973111407F, 5973111402F) lens geometries. Lens style affects light distribution patterns and may impact optical performance in applications requiring specific beam geometry.
