Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the FLPV2-YG have been identified based on the following substitution criteria:

Primary Substitution Logic:

• Product Category Alignment: The WP59CB/GYW is classified as an LED Circuit Board Indicator, representing a functional equivalent in the LED assembly category
• Moisture Sensitivity Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring equivalent environmental handling requirements
• Active Product Status: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Compliance Framework: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Category: LED Assembly / LED Indicator
• Environmental Classification: ROHS3 Compliant
• Regulatory Status: REACH Unaffected

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Feasibility:

The WP59CB/GYW from Kingbright qualifies as a functional substitute for the obsolete FLPV2-YG based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Compliance Status: The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements that may not have been applicable to the original obsolete component.

2. Environmental Handling: Both components share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent storage, handling, and assembly process requirements.

3. Product Lifecycle: The substitute part maintains active production status with confirmed inventory availability (825 Pcs), providing supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete status of the original component.

4. Electrical and Optical Specifications: The substitute provides defined electrical parameters (voltage ratings, current ratings, wavelength specifications, and millicandela ratings) suitable for LED indication applications.

Selection Basis:

Component selection should be based on application-specific requirements including required color output, brightness level (millicandela rating), viewing angle, and mounting configuration. The substitute part's active status and regulatory compliance make it suitable for new designs and legacy system support where the original component is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the FLPV2-YG classified as obsolete?

A: The FLPV2-YG has reached end-of-life status with Bivar Inc. and is no longer in active production. While limited inventory remains available (748 Pcs), long-term supply cannot be guaranteed. Substitute components should be evaluated for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q2: What are the key compatibility criteria between the FLPV2-YG and WP59CB/GYW?

A: Both components share Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical environmental handling requirements. Both are classified as LED assemblies suitable for circuit board indication applications. The substitute maintains active production status with modern regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected).

Q3: Are there differences in mounting configuration between these components?

A: The WP59CB/GYW is specified as a Through Hole mounted component with 5mm, T-1 3/4 lens size and Round with Domed Top lens style. The original FLPV2-YG mounting configuration is not specified in available documentation. Application-specific mounting requirements must be verified before substitution.

Q4: What electrical parameters should be verified for substitution?

A: The WP59CB/GYW provides the following electrical specifications: Voltage Rating 2.2V Green / 2.1V Yellow; Current 25mA Green / 30mA Yellow; Wavelength - Peak 565nm Green / 590nm Yellow; Millicandela Rating 100mcd Green / 40mcd Yellow; Viewing Angle 60°. These parameters must be compatible with the target application circuit design.

Q5: How do regulatory compliance differences affect substitution?

A: The substitute part (WP59CB/GYW) carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and chemical restriction regulations. The original component's compliance status is not specified. Applications subject to ROHS3 or REACH requirements must use compliant substitute components.

Q6: What is the inventory status for both components?

A: FLPV2-YG: 748 Pcs New Original In Stock. WP59CB/GYW: 825 Pcs New Original In Stock. Both components have confirmed inventory availability, though the obsolete status of the original component may affect long-term supply predictability.
