Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (2.0V to 2.2V Forward Voltage Group):

For applications requiring minimal circuit redesign, select from parts with forward voltage between 2.0V and 2.2V:

APA3010SGC (Kingbright, 2.2V, 15mcd): Closest brightness match to CMD11504G at 16mcd. Active product status with 5976 Pcs inventory. Wavelength 565nm provides yellow-green indication. Viewing angle 120° suitable for standard indication applications.
HSMG-C680 (Broadcom Limited, 2.2V, 13.3mcd): Brightness rating 13.3mcd approximates CMD11504G performance. Active status with 5580 Pcs inventory. MSL 2A rating provides superior moisture protection compared to MSL 3. Wavelength 568nm in yellow-green spectrum.
5972501602F / 5972501607F (Dialight, 2.0V, 50mcd): Lower forward voltage (2.0V) requires circuit verification. Higher brightness (50mcd) suitable for applications requiring increased visibility. Both active products with combined inventory of 3032 Pcs. Packaging options include Strip and Tape & Reel.

Secondary Substitutes (3.2V to 3.3V Forward Voltage Group):

For applications permitting circuit redesign to accommodate higher forward voltage:

5972601602F / 5972601607F (Dialight, 3.2V, 195mcd): Significantly higher brightness (195mcd) for demanding visibility requirements. Active products with combined inventory of 7146 Pcs. Wavelength 525nm provides pure green indication. Packaging options available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace CMD11504G with any of these substitute parts without circuit modification?

A: Direct replacement without circuit modification is limited to parts with forward voltage 2.0V to 2.2V: APA3010SGC, HSMG-C680, 5972501602F, and 5972501607F. Parts with 3.2V to 3.3V forward voltage (5972601602F, 5972601607F, APA3010ZGC, LTST-S321TGKT) require circuit redesign to accommodate the higher voltage drop.

Q: What is the difference between the Dialight 5972501 and 5972601 series?

A: The 5972501 series operates at 2.0V forward voltage with 50mcd brightness and 572nm peak wavelength. The 5972601 series operates at 3.2V forward voltage with 195mcd brightness and 525nm peak wavelength. Selection depends on circuit voltage availability and required brightness level.

Q: Why do some parts have different packaging options (Strip vs. Tape & Reel)?

A: Strip packaging (5972501602F, 5972601602F) is suitable for manual assembly or small-volume production. Tape & Reel packaging (5972501607F, 5972601607F) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both packaging formats contain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Is the brightness difference between CMD11504G (16mcd) and substitute parts significant?

A: Brightness differences are application-dependent. APA3010SGC (15mcd) and HSMG-C680 (13.3mcd) provide comparable brightness to CMD11504G. Higher brightness options (50mcd to 261mcd) are suitable for applications requiring increased visibility or longer viewing distances. Lower brightness options maintain CMD11504G performance levels.

Q: What does MSL rating mean, and why does HSMG-C680 have MSL 2A instead of MSL 3?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) indicates component sensitivity to moisture during storage and handling. MSL 2A (4 weeks) requires more frequent baking than MSL 3 (168 hours). HSMG-C680 with MSL 2A provides superior moisture protection but requires stricter storage protocols. Both ratings are acceptable for standard production environments.

Q: Can I use parts with different wavelengths interchangeably?

A: Wavelength differences affect perceived color. CMD11504G operates at 560nm peak wavelength (yellow-green). Substitutes range from 515nm (pure green) to 574nm (yellow-green). Visual appearance will differ. Select wavelength based on application color requirements and user perception standards.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: APA3010SGC (Kingbright) offers the highest inventory at 5976 Pcs, followed by HSMG-C680 (Broadcom Limited) at 5580 Pcs. Both parts are active products with comparable electrical specifications to CMD11504G, making them suitable for immediate production deployment.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching CMD11504G regulatory requirements for EU and international markets.
