HLMP2500 LED Indicator Bar - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HLMP2500 is a green LED circuit board indicator bar manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. This component is a single SIP (Single In-line Package) configuration with a rectangular flat-top lens design, rated for 2.2V operation at 90mA with a peak wavelength of 565nm and 25mcd brightness output. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing design support, maintenance, and new production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete HLMP2500 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Color: Green (565nm peak wavelength)
• Configuration: Bar - Single, SIP
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Voltage Rating: 2.2V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Millicandela Rating: 25mcd
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation:

• Current Rating: The substitute HLMP-2500 operates at 30mA versus the original 90mA specification. This represents a lower current requirement and is acceptable for direct substitution in applications where the original 90mA rating was not a design-critical constraint.

The substitute part HLMP-2500 manufactured by Broadcom Limited maintains all critical optical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HLMP-2500 manufactured by Broadcom Limited is the direct equivalent for the obsolete HLMP2500. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The Broadcom HLMP-2500 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1900 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete Everlight component.

Compliance Certification: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental and handling requirements.

Optical and Electrical Specifications: The substitute maintains identical color, wavelength, brightness output (25mcd), voltage rating (2.2V), and mechanical configuration (Bar - Single, SIP with Rectangle Flat Top lens).

Current Rating Consideration: The substitute operates at 30mA versus the original 90mA specification. Circuit designs must verify that the lower current requirement is compatible with existing current-limiting resistor values and driver circuit specifications. The 2.2V forward voltage remains constant, allowing direct voltage compatibility.

Packaging: The Broadcom component is supplied in tube packaging with specified lens dimensions (8.89mm x 3.81mm), providing dimensional certainty for PCB layout verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HLMP-2500 (Broadcom) directly replace the HLMP2500 (Everlight) in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible with circuit verification. All optical parameters, voltage rating, and mechanical configuration are identical. The current rating difference (30mA vs 90mA) requires confirmation that existing current-limiting resistors and driver circuits are compatible with the lower current specification.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between the two parts?

A: The Broadcom HLMP-2500 operates at 30mA while the Everlight HLMP2500 is rated for 90mA. This represents a lower power consumption specification. Existing circuit designs using the 90mA rating must verify that the 30mA specification meets brightness and visibility requirements for the intended application.

Q: Are the lens dimensions identical between the two parts?

A: The Broadcom HLMP-2500 specifies lens dimensions of 8.89mm x 3.81mm. The Everlight HLMP2500 does not provide dimensional specifications in the available data. PCB layout designs should reference the Broadcom dimensions (8.89mm x 3.81mm) for the substitute component to ensure proper mounting clearance and alignment.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both the HLMP2500 and HLMP-2500 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). The Broadcom component additionally carries REACH Unaffected status. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Why is the Everlight HLMP2500 classified as obsolete?

A: The Everlight HLMP2500 is listed as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and end-of-life status. The Broadcom HLMP-2500 provides an active, equivalent alternative with confirmed ongoing production and availability.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these components?

A: Both components use identical Through Hole mounting configuration with Bar - Single, SIP package style and Rectangle with Flat Top lens design. The Broadcom component provides specific lens dimensions (8.89mm x 3.81mm) for PCB layout verification. No mechanical incompatibility exists between the two components.
