Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0791 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and Wavelength: Green color at 527nm dominant wavelength ensures optical compatibility in indication circuits
• Electrical Characteristics: Forward voltage of 3.4V and 20mA test current define circuit compatibility
• Mechanical Form Factor: 5mm oval through-hole package with radial leads ensures PCB mounting compatibility
• Lens Configuration: Oval domed top lens maintains optical performance in the application

The substitute part C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0791 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced brightness (5165mcd versus 1450mcd) and active product status with RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0791 is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the obsolete C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0791. Both components share identical forward voltage (3.4V), test current (20mA), dominant wavelength (527nm), and mounting configuration (5mm oval through-hole radial package). The substitute part offers superior brightness performance at 5165mcd compared to 1450mcd, with negligible dimensional variation within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances. The C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0791 carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, making it suitable for new designs and production continuity where the original part is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0791 be used as a direct replacement for C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0791?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (3.4V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 527nm wavelength) and mechanical form factor (5mm oval through-hole radial package). The substitute offers higher brightness output and active product status.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Lens size differs slightly (5.20mm x 3.60mm versus 5.10mm x 3.70mm) and maximum height varies by 0.15mm (11.10mm versus 10.95mm). These variations remain within standard PCB assembly tolerances for through-hole components.

Q: Does the higher brightness of C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0791 affect circuit compatibility?

A: No. The substitute maintains identical electrical operating parameters (forward voltage and test current). Higher brightness results from improved LED die efficiency and does not alter circuit behavior when used with the same current-limiting resistor values.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0791 is RoHS compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications.

Q: Are there viewing angle differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part specifies a viewing angle of 100° x 40°. The original part does not provide viewing angle specification in available documentation.
