Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 7016X5/7 LED Green/Yellow Clear 1210 SMD

Part Overview

The 7016X5/7 is a dual-color LED indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) in a 1210 surface mount package. This component provides independent green and yellow indication with forward voltages of 2.2V and 2.1V respectively, rated at 20mA test current per color. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 7016X5/7 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Forward voltage (Vf): 2.2V Green and 2.1V Yellow (exact match required)
• Test current: 20mA per color (exact match required)
• Color configuration: Independent green and yellow operation
• Lens transparency: Clear (colorless lens)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package type: 4-SMD, No Lead
• Supplier device package: 1210 (3025 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Lens style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Lens size: 2.30mm x 2.10mm
• Maximum height: 1.30mm
• Physical dimensions: 3.00mm L x 2.50mm W (tolerance range)

Regulatory & Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8541.41.0000

The substitute parts identified (5977721502F and 5977721507F) meet all electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in millicandela rating and viewing angle do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical parameters and physical form factor are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Dialight substitute parts (5977721502F and 5977721507F) are functionally equivalent to the obsolete 7016X5/7 based on electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between the two substitutes is determined by procurement and assembly requirements:

5977721502F Selection Criteria:

• Supplied in Strip packaging format
• Suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs
• Inventory availability: 950 pieces

5977721507F Selection Criteria:

• Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format
• Optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes
• Inventory availability: 6077 pieces

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, consistent with the original component. The increased millicandela ratings (21mcd Green, 10mcd Yellow versus 14.5mcd Green, 5mcd Yellow) represent enhanced optical output, which does not compromise backward compatibility in applications designed for the original part. The MSL rating difference (MSL 3 versus MSL 2) reflects standard industry variations and does not affect substitution validity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5977721502F and 5977721507F be used interchangeably with 7016X5/7?

A: Yes. Both Dialight parts meet the electrical specifications (2.2V Green, 2.1V Yellow at 20mA test current) and mechanical requirements (1210 package, 4-SMD no-lead configuration, identical lens dimensions and mounting type) of the original VCC component. The difference between the two substitutes is packaging format only: Strip versus Tape & Reel.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: 5977721502F is packaged in Strip format, while 5977721507F is packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical. Strip packaging is suitable for manual or low-volume assembly; Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated assembly lines.

Q: Are there any electrical differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: No. Forward voltage (Vf), test current, color configuration, and wavelength specifications are identical. The substitute parts have higher millicandela ratings (21mcd Green, 10mcd Yellow versus 14.5mcd Green, 5mcd Yellow), which represents increased brightness and does not affect compatibility.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain the 1210 package footprint with 3.00mm length, 2.30mm x 2.10mm lens size, and 1.30mm maximum height. Width tolerance is 2.50mm (versus 2.49mm for the original), which is within standard PCB design tolerances.

Q: What is the viewing angle difference, and does it affect substitution?

A: The original part has a 110° viewing angle, while the substitutes have a 100° viewing angle. This represents a narrower but still wide viewing angle. Substitution is valid when the application does not require the specific 110° specification.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both 5977721502F and 5977721507F are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original 7016X5/7 component.

Q: What is the MSL difference, and does it matter?

A: The original part has MSL 2 (1 Year), while the substitutes have MSL 3 (168 Hours). MSL 3 indicates a shorter shelf life under controlled humidity conditions. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but requires adherence to standard moisture handling procedures during storage and assembly.

Q: Which substitute should I choose for my application?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process. Use 5977721502F (Strip) for manual or low-volume assembly. Use 5977721507F (Tape & Reel) for automated pick-and-place assembly lines. Both are electrically and mechanically equivalent.
