Engineering Selection Recommendations

HSML-C170 (Direct Substitute - Recommended)

The HSML-C170 manufactured by Broadcom Limited is the direct substitute for CMDA5BA7D1S. This part maintains identical electrical specifications: 1.9V forward voltage, 90mcd brightness, and 609nm peak wavelength. All mechanical parameters match exactly, including 0805 package dimensions, 170° viewing angle, and diffused lens configuration. The HSML-C170 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance and 2A MSL rating. Packaging is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This part is suitable for direct PCB assembly replacement without circuit modification.

HSMD-C170 (Similar Substitute - Limited Application)

The HSMD-C170 manufactured by Broadcom Limited is a similar substitute with notable electrical differences. Forward voltage is 2.2V (compared to 1.9V), and brightness is 8mcd (compared to 90mcd). Peak wavelength is 605nm (within acceptable tolerance). This part maintains identical mechanical compatibility and package specifications. The HSMD-C170 is suitable only for applications where reduced brightness and higher forward voltage are acceptable. This part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Circuit design review is required before implementation.

Compliance & Availability

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity specifications. The HSML-C170 offers superior inventory availability (16,250 pcs) and direct electrical compatibility. The HSMD-C170 provides alternative sourcing (15,766 pcs) for applications with relaxed brightness requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HSML-C170 be used as a direct replacement for CMDA5BA7D1S without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The HSML-C170 maintains identical forward voltage (1.9V), brightness (90mcd), and all mechanical parameters. No circuit modification is required for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between HSML-C170 and HSMD-C170?

A: The HSML-C170 matches the original part's 1.9V forward voltage and 90mcd brightness. The HSMD-C170 operates at 2.2V forward voltage with 8mcd brightness. Both share identical package dimensions and mechanical compatibility. Selection depends on circuit voltage tolerance and brightness requirements.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both HSML-C170 and HSMD-C170 are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: HSML-C170 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. HSMD-C170 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Why is CMDA5BA7D1S classified as obsolete?

A: The CMDA5BA7D1S is no longer manufactured by Visual Communications Company. Active substitute parts from Broadcom Limited provide equivalent or superior functionality with ongoing production support.

Q: Can HSMD-C170 be used in applications requiring 90mcd brightness?

A: No. The HSMD-C170 provides only 8mcd brightness, which is insufficient for applications requiring 90mcd output. Use HSML-C170 for brightness-critical applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. CMDA5BA7D1S, HSML-C170, and HSMD-C170 share identical 0805 package dimensions (2.00mm L x 1.25mm W, 0.80mm max height) and are fully compatible with existing PCB layouts.
