Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete FLPR2-SA is based on functional equivalence within the LED indicator category. The identified substitute, 5505808F from Dialight, operates as an LED Circuit Board Indicator (CBI) with active product status and full compliance certifications.

The substitution logic is determined by the following parameters:

• Component Type: Both are LED-based indicator assemblies
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole mounting with right-angle orientation
• Lens Characteristics: Clear lens with domed top design
• Electrical Specifications: Operating voltage and current ratings within compatible ranges
• Compliance Status: Active product with current certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5505808F from Dialight serves as the identified substitute for the obsolete FLPR2-SA. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 5505808F maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring availability for procurement and future supply chain continuity.

Compliance Certifications: The substitute part carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The EAR99 ECCN classification indicates standard commercial export eligibility.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both the original and substitute components share an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental performance characteristics.

Functional Equivalence: The 5505808F is classified as an LED Circuit Board Indicator with through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration and clear domed lens design, providing functional alignment with the original light pipe assembly application.

Physical integration and electrical compatibility must be verified against the specific circuit board layout and electrical requirements of the target application, as detailed specifications for the FLPR2-SA are not provided in this reference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the FLPR2-SA classified as obsolete?

A: The FLPR2-SA has reached end-of-life status with Bivar Inc. and is no longer manufactured or supported. Obsolete classification indicates the part is no longer available through standard distribution channels.

Q: What makes the 5505808F a suitable substitute for the FLPR2-SA?

A: Both components are LED-based indicator assemblies with identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited). The 5505808F provides active product status, current compliance certifications, and through-hole right-angle mounting configuration consistent with typical light pipe applications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 5505808F for the FLPR2-SA?

A: Physical footprint and electrical interface compatibility must be verified against the original circuit board design. The 5505808F specifications (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole, right-angle mounting, 2.2V/50mA operation) should be cross-referenced with the target application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging specifications?

A: The FLPR2-SA packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 5505808F is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Does the 5505808F meet current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. The 5505808F is RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The FLPR2-SA has 731 pieces available as new original stock. The 5505808F has 1177 pieces available as new original stock through current distribution channels.
