Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5219768F substitute part is recommended for applications currently utilizing the FLPV-SBC-R/Y due to the following factors:

• Product Status Transition: The main part is obsolete, while the substitute part maintains active product status with full manufacturer support and continued availability.
• Compliance Alignment: The substitute part maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, consistent with the original component's moisture sensitivity classification.
• Certification: The 5219768F carries ROHS3 compliance, meeting modern regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing.
• Functional Equivalence: Both components support dual-color LED operation with diffused lens optics suitable for indication applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if the 5219768F can substitute for the FLPV-SBC-R/Y?

A: Substitutability is based on matching the functional category (LED indication assembly), electrical operating parameters (forward voltage and test current specifications), mechanical form factor (3mm lens size, through-hole mounting), and optical characteristics (viewing angle and luminous intensity). Both components have identical MSL ratings.

Q: Are there any mounting differences between these components?

A: Both components utilize through-hole mounting technology with radial lead configurations, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly practices. The substitute part specifies a maximum height of 5.70mm.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The FLPV-SBC-R/Y is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 5219768F is an active product with current manufacturing, available inventory, and continued manufacturer support. This ensures component availability for new production requirements and future designs.

Q: How do the optical specifications compare?

A: The 5219768F specifies 5.6mcd for both red and yellow colors with an 80° viewing angle and diffused lens. The original component specifications are not detailed in the available documentation, making the substitute part specifications the baseline for application verification.

Q: What compliance standards apply to the substitute part?

A: The 5219768F complies with ROHS3 regulations and is REACH unaffected, meeting current electronic component environmental and safety standards.
