LED GREEN CLEAR 1206 SMD 7010X5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Visual Communications Company 7010X5 is a green LED indication component in 1206 surface mount package format, designed for discrete lighting applications requiring 2.1V forward voltage at 20mA test current. This part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility across electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitute parts must preserve the core specifications: green color output, 1206 package footprint, surface mount configuration, and forward voltage characteristics within acceptable tolerance ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7010X5 is determined by strict alignment with the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Color: Green (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 surface mount configuration
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Parameter Variance:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 2.1V ±0.1V tolerance acceptable (range 2.0V to 2.2V)
• Current - Test: 10mA to 20mA operational range
• Millicandela Rating: Variance permitted based on circuit design requirements
• Viewing Angle: Variance permitted based on application requirements
• Wavelength - Peak: Green spectrum range (560nm to 569nm)

The identified substitute parts LTST-C150GKT and SML-LX1206GC-TR satisfy all mandatory matching criteria and fall within allowable variance ranges for electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LTST-C150GKT (Lite-On Inc.) is suitable for applications where the original 7010X5 forward voltage and test current specifications are primary design constraints. This part maintains 2.1V forward voltage matching and operates at 10mA test current. The lower millicandela rating (6mcd versus 7.5mcd) and wider viewing angle (130° versus 70°) represent trade-offs in brightness intensity and directional output. This part is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 rating, providing superior moisture sensitivity performance compared to the original MSL 4 specification.

SML-LX1206GC-TR (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.) is suitable for applications requiring higher brightness output (10mcd) and wider viewing angle (160°). The forward voltage is 2.2V, representing a 0.1V increase from the original specification. This variance requires circuit design verification to confirm compatibility with existing series resistor calculations. This part is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 rating.

Both substitute parts are physically compatible with 1206 surface mount assembly processes. The dimensional variance (3.20mm x 1.60mm versus 3.00mm x 1.50mm) and reduced maximum height (1.10mm versus 1.50mm) are within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 component placement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LTST-C150GKT directly replace 7010X5 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes, LTST-C150GKT maintains identical forward voltage (2.1V) and is compatible with existing series resistor calculations. The test current specification differs (10mA versus 20mA), but this represents the measurement condition rather than a circuit operating constraint. Verify that the lower millicandela rating (6mcd) meets application brightness requirements.

Q: What is the impact of SML-LX1206GC-TR's 2.2V forward voltage on circuit design?

A: The 0.1V increase requires recalculation of series resistor values to maintain desired LED current. For a typical 5V supply with series resistor, the resistor value must increase by approximately 5 ohms per milliamp of desired current. Verify the new resistor value does not exceed component power ratings.

Q: Are the dimensional differences between substitute parts and the original significant?

A: The substitute parts (3.20mm x 1.60mm x 1.10mm max height) differ from the original (3.00mm x 1.50mm x 1.50mm max height). These differences are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility. The reduced height may improve thermal performance in confined spaces.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same regulatory compliance as the original?

A: Yes, both LTST-C150GKT and SML-LX1206GC-TR are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the original 7010X5 compliance status. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8541.41.0000 HTSUS code identical to the original.

Q: What is the difference between MSL 4 and MSL 3 moisture sensitivity levels?

A: MSL 3 (168 hours) provides extended moisture protection compared to MSL 4 (72 hours). Both substitute parts offer superior moisture sensitivity performance, allowing longer storage periods before reflow soldering without baking requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either part is acceptable based on application requirements. Select LTST-C150GKT for exact forward voltage matching and lower brightness output. Select SML-LX1206GC-TR for higher brightness and wider viewing angle, with circuit design verification for the 2.2V forward voltage specification.
