Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0792 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and Wavelength: Green 527nm dominant wavelength is the primary functional requirement
• Electrical Characteristics: Forward voltage of 3.4V and 20mA test current must be maintained
• Optical Performance: Millicandela rating and lens transparency (clear) define brightness and visibility
• Mechanical Compatibility: Oval lens style with domed top, 5mm form factor, through-hole radial mounting, and maximum height constraints
• Regulatory Compliance: REACH and ECCN classifications must align with application requirements

The C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0792 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching color, wavelength, forward voltage, test current, lens style, mounting type, and package configuration. Variations in millicandela rating, lens dimensions, and height fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for equivalent functionality in indication applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0792 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0792. Selection is supported by:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications, eliminating compliance barriers for direct substitution
• RoHS Compliance: The substitute is RoHS Compliant, meeting modern environmental and safety standards
• Electrical and Optical Equivalence: Matching forward voltage, test current, color, and wavelength ensure functional compatibility in indication circuits
• Mechanical Fit: Radial through-hole package with oval domed lens maintains PCB layout compatibility; minor lens dimension and height variations are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard mounting applications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0792 be used as a direct replacement for the C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0792?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics (3.4V forward voltage, 20mA test current), color (green), wavelength (527nm), lens style (oval with domed top), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial). The substitute is active and available, whereas the original is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference in brightness between these parts?

A: The substitute C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0792 has a millicandela rating of 5165mcd compared to 1450mcd for the original C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0792. This represents increased optical output; applications requiring the original brightness level should account for this higher intensity in circuit design.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original C5SMS-GJS-CS0U0792 is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0792 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both use identical radial through-hole package configuration suitable for PCB assembly.

Q: Do these parts have the same viewing angle?

A: The original part does not specify a viewing angle. The substitute specifies 100° x 40° viewing angle, providing defined optical performance characteristics for circuit design purposes.

Q: Are there height differences that affect PCB layout?

A: The original has a maximum height of 11.10mm; the substitute has a maximum height of 10.95mm. This 0.15mm difference is negligible for standard through-hole PCB applications and does not require layout modifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The C5SMF-GJF-CV0Y0792 is RoHS Compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications, matching the regulatory profile of the original part.
