Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM13205GD5V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ELM1
• Color: Green
• Wavelength - Peak: 568nm
• Configuration: Single
• Forward Current: 20mA
• Millicandela Rating: 25mcd
• Viewing Angle: 40°
• Lens Type: Diffused, Tinted
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Forward Voltage: 2.1V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All nine substitute part numbers listed below maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part. The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is product status: ELM13205GD5V is obsolete, while all substitute parts maintain active product status. Secondary differences include packaging format (main part listed as dash; substitutes packaged in trays) and minor HTSUS code variations that do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All nine substitute parts (ELM10555GD, ELM11205GD, ELM113MM5GD, ELM12005GD, ELM13005GD, ELM13155GD, ELM13505GD, ELM14255GD, ELM14MM5GD, ELM15405GD) are functionally equivalent to the obsolete ELM13205GD5V based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary advantage of substitution is product status: all alternatives maintain active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, providing environmental regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS directives. The main part does not specify RoHS status, making the substitutes preferable for regulated applications.

Inventory availability across substitute parts ranges from 686 to 1058 units, providing multiple sourcing options. Selection among substitutes may be based on packaging preference (all substitutes supplied in trays) and internal stock levels. No electrical or mechanical performance differentiation exists between substitute options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM13205GD5V be directly replaced with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Yes. All nine substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (2.1V forward voltage, 20mA forward current, 25mcd brightness, 568nm peak wavelength) and mechanical specifications (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole lens, diffused tinted round domed top, 40° viewing angle). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The ELM13205GD5V is classified as obsolete product status. All substitute parts maintain active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing availability and supply chain reliability for new designs and production runs.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The main part does not specify RoHS status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, substitute parts are required.

Q: Do packaging differences affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?

A: No. The main part is listed with dash packaging; all substitutes are supplied in trays. Packaging format does not affect component performance, electrical characteristics, or PCB mounting compatibility. Tray packaging provides standard handling and storage benefits.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected if multiple options are available?

A: Selection among substitute parts may be based on internal inventory levels and procurement preferences. All substitutes are electrically and mechanically identical. ELM14MM5GD currently maintains the highest inventory level at 1058 units.

Q: Are there any viewing angle or brightness differences between substitutes?

A: No. All substitute parts maintain identical 40° viewing angle and 25 millicandela brightness rating. Optical performance is uniform across all alternatives.

Q: Can substitutes be used in existing designs without PCB layout modification?

A: Yes. All substitute parts feature identical 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole form factor and mounting specifications. Existing PCB designs require no modification for component substitution.
