Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the H101CGDL are grouped based on the following allowable parameter variations:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Color: Green (all substitutes maintain green color specification)
• Configuration: Single LED (all substitutes are single configuration)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (all substitutes maintain this mounting orientation)
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top (all substitutes maintain this optical design)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1 (all substitutes meet or exceed these requirements)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Lens Size: 3mm T-1 (main part) to 5mm T-1 3/4 (substitute parts 5501308F, 5502208F)
• Voltage Rating: 1.8V to 2.1V range
• Current Rating: Varies by design (2mA to 25mA)
• Millicandela Rating: 1.6mcd to 10mcd
• Wavelength - Peak: 563nm to 568nm (green spectrum tolerance)
• Viewing Angle: 40° to 65° (where specified)
• Lens Type: Diffused or Diffused, Tinted

Substitutes 5511307F, 5501308F, and 5502208F are all manufactured by Dialight and maintain functional equivalence within the green LED circuit board indicator category while accommodating different circuit design requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5511307F Selection Criteria: This substitute maintains the 3mm T-1 lens size of the H101CGDL, providing direct mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts. Operating voltage is 1.9V with 2mA current and 1.6mcd brightness. This part is suitable for applications where lens size must remain unchanged and lower current draw is acceptable. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment.

5501308F Selection Criteria: This substitute features a larger 5mm T-1 3/4 lens size with 1.8V operating voltage and 7mA current specification. The 1.8mcd brightness rating and diffused lens maintain visual indicator functionality. This part requires PCB layout modification to accommodate the larger lens diameter. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are confirmed.

5502208F Selection Criteria: This substitute matches the 2.1V voltage rating of the H101CGDL while providing a 5mm T-1 3/4 lens size. Operating at 25mA with 10mcd brightness, this part delivers higher luminous intensity suitable for applications requiring increased visibility. The 65° viewing angle provides wider light distribution compared to the H101CGDL's 40° specification. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are confirmed.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring long-term availability and storage compatibility with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5511307F directly replace H101CGDL without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts use 3mm T-1 lens size with through-hole, right-angle mounting. Physical footprint compatibility is maintained. Operating voltage differs (1.9V vs 2.1V) and current specification is lower (2mA), requiring circuit design verification for brightness and power requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between 5501308F and 5502208F?

A: Both use 5mm T-1 3/4 lens size and require PCB layout modification. 5501308F operates at 1.8V with 7mA current and 1.8mcd brightness. 5502208F operates at 2.1V with 25mA current and 10mcd brightness, providing significantly higher luminous intensity and wider 65° viewing angle.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. H101CGDL and all three substitute parts (5511307F, 5501308F, 5502208F) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which substitute maintains closest wavelength to H101CGDL?

A: 5511307F maintains 565nm peak wavelength, closest to the H101CGDL's 568nm specification within the green LED spectrum range.

Q: Can 5502208F be used in applications requiring lower brightness?

A: 5502208F operates at 10mcd brightness, significantly higher than H101CGDL's 2mcd rating. Circuit design must accommodate this increased luminous intensity. For lower brightness requirements, 5511307F (1.6mcd) or 5501308F (1.8mcd) are more appropriate selections.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: H101CGDL is supplied in Tray packaging. All substitute parts (5511307F, 5501308F, 5502208F) are supplied in Bulk packaging. Inventory quantities differ: H101CGDL has 872 pcs, while substitutes range from 1914 to 2430 pcs in current stock.

Q: Are substitute parts available from the same manufacturer as H101CGDL?

A: No. H101CGDL is manufactured by Bivar Inc. All substitute parts are manufactured by Dialight. Both manufacturers produce green LED circuit board indicators meeting ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical specifications within allowable parameter ranges.
