Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7016X11 are classified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters: package format (1208/3020 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), lens configuration (Rectangle with Flat Top, Clear), color (Red), viewing angle (110°), and electrical operating characteristics (forward voltage, test current, luminous intensity).

Parametric Equivalent Classification: The 5973111507F (Dialight) qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on identical forward voltage (1.75V), matching millicandela rating (16mcd), identical test current (20mA), matching package dimensions, and equivalent wavelength specification (662nm dominant, 660nm peak). This part maintains the same MSL classification requirement and RoHS3 compliance status.

Functional Substitute Classification: The 5973021507F (Dialight) functions as a substitute with allowable parameter variance. Forward voltage increases to 2V (0.25V differential), millicandela rating reduces to 6.3mcd (9.7mcd reduction), and wavelength shifts to 653nm dominant with 650nm peak. MSL rating increases to 3 (168 Hours), indicating different moisture sensitivity handling. All parts maintain identical package format, mounting type, lens style, and viewing angle specifications.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with matching HTSUS code 8541.41.0000.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection - 7016X11 (VCC): The 7016X11 remains the primary component specification with active product status, lowest MSL rating (2, 1-year shelf life), and established inventory availability (2339 pcs). ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status satisfy regulatory requirements.

Parametric Equivalent - 5973111507F (Dialight): The 5973111507F provides direct parametric substitution with identical electrical characteristics (1.75V forward voltage, 16mcd luminous intensity, 20mA test current) and matching wavelength specification (660nm peak). Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical package format, dimensions, and lens configuration. MSL rating increases to 3 (168 Hours), requiring adjusted moisture handling protocols. Inventory availability is higher (5198 pcs). This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where MSL 3 storage conditions are acceptable.

Functional Substitute - 5973021507F (Dialight): The 5973021507F functions as a substitute where luminous intensity reduction (6.3mcd versus 16mcd) and forward voltage increase (2V versus 1.75V) are acceptable within circuit design parameters. Wavelength shift to 653nm dominant (650nm peak) remains within red LED spectrum classification. MSL rating is 3 (168 Hours). This part is suitable for applications with lower brightness requirements or where forward voltage tolerance permits 0.25V increase. Inventory availability is highest (3343 pcs).

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical mechanical mounting compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines compatibility between 7016X11 and its substitute parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by package format (1208/3020 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), physical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.00mm W, 1.50mm max height), lens configuration (Rectangle with Flat Top, Clear), viewing angle (110°), and electrical operating parameters (forward voltage, test current, luminous intensity range). All listed substitutes maintain these core specifications.

Q: Can 5973111507F directly replace 7016X11 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The 5973111507F maintains identical forward voltage (1.75V), test current (20mA), and luminous intensity (16mcd). Package format, dimensions, and lens configuration are identical. MSL rating increases from 2 to 3, requiring adjusted moisture sensitivity handling during storage and assembly, but does not affect electrical circuit operation.

Q: What is the impact of using 5973021507F as a substitute?

A: The 5973021507F introduces two parameter changes: forward voltage increases to 2V (0.25V higher than 7016X11), and luminous intensity reduces to 6.3mcd (9.7mcd lower than 7016X11). Circuit design must accommodate the higher forward voltage drop. Applications requiring 16mcd brightness cannot use this substitute. Wavelength shifts to 653nm dominant, remaining within red LED classification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 7016X11, 5973111507F, and 5973021507F are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts with matching HTSUS code 8541.41.0000.

Q: What is the difference in MSL ratings between these parts?

A: The 7016X11 carries MSL 2 rating (1-year shelf life). Both Dialight substitutes (5973111507F and 5973021507F) carry MSL 3 rating (168-hour shelf life). MSL 3 requires stricter moisture control during storage and shorter time windows between package opening and component placement on PCB.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: The 5973111507F can be used interchangeably with identical electrical performance. The 5973021507F requires circuit design review due to forward voltage increase and luminous intensity reduction. All parts share identical package format and mechanical compatibility, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: 7016X11 has 2339 pcs available. 5973111507F has 5198 pcs available. 5973021507F has 3343 pcs available. Higher inventory availability for Dialight parts may support extended production schedules or supply chain continuity planning.
