AM2520EH/SGD LED Circuit Board Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM2520EH/SGD is a green LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Kingbright, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This single green diffused LED features a 1.80mm diameter domed lens and operates at 2.2V with a 20mA current rating, delivering 12 millicandela at a 40° viewing angle with a peak wavelength of 565nm. The component is classified as Active product status with 1,037 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component experiences extended lead times, inventory constraints, or when design requirements permit alternative specifications within acceptable electrical and mechanical tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM2520EH/SGD is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameter categories:

Optical Compatibility: The substitute part must maintain green color specification with a peak wavelength of 565nm to ensure consistent visual indication and circuit board integration.

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute part must operate within acceptable voltage and current ranges. The AM2520EH/SGD operates at 2.2V and 20mA; substitute parts with voltage ratings of 2.1V to 2.3V and current ratings of 10mA to 20mA are within acceptable tolerance for circuit board indicator applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute part must feature through-hole, right-angle mounting with a round domed lens style. Lens diameter variations between 1.80mm and 1.91mm are acceptable for circuit board indicator applications where the component occupies similar board space.

Configuration: Single LED configuration is required; multi-LED configurations are not substitutable.

Product Status: Only Active status components are eligible for substitution to ensure ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

The HLMP-6500-F0010 from Broadcom Limited meets all substitution criteria based on these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Component (AM2520EH/SGD): Select this Kingbright component when inventory availability is confirmed and design specifications require the exact 20mA current rating and 12mcd brightness level. This component is Active status with 1,037 pieces in stock.

Substitute Component (HLMP-6500-F0010): Select this Broadcom Limited component when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit operation at reduced current (10mA) and brightness (7mcd). The HLMP-6500-F0010 is Active status with 3,330 pieces in stock, offering superior availability. This component is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental compliance standards. The 90° viewing angle provides wider visibility compared to the primary component's 40° angle, which may be advantageous in certain circuit board indicator applications.

Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications, simplifying procurement and regulatory documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HLMP-6500-F0010 directly replace the AM2520EH/SGD in my circuit board design?

A: The HLMP-6500-F0010 is mechanically and optically compatible as a substitute. However, the reduced current rating (10mA versus 20mA) and lower brightness (7mcd versus 12mcd) must be evaluated against your circuit design and visual indication requirements. The wider 90° viewing angle may provide improved visibility in some applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating (20mA versus 10mA), brightness (12mcd versus 7mcd), viewing angle (40° versus 90°), and lens diameter (1.80mm versus 1.91mm). Both maintain identical green color, 565nm peak wavelength, 2.1V to 2.2V voltage operation, and through-hole right-angle mounting configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: The HLMP-6500-F0010 includes documented RoHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Both components share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Verify your specific regulatory requirements before final component selection.

Q: How does the 1.91mm lens diameter of the HLMP-6500-F0010 compare to the 1.80mm of the AM2520EH/SGD?

A: The 0.11mm diameter difference is within acceptable tolerance for circuit board indicator applications. Both components feature identical round domed lens styling and through-hole mounting. Verify PCB hole sizing and component clearances in your specific board layout.

Q: What inventory considerations should I evaluate?

A: The AM2520EH/SGD has 1,037 pieces in stock, while the HLMP-6500-F0010 has 3,330 pieces available. The substitute component offers significantly higher inventory availability, which may reduce lead times and supply chain risk.
