HLMP2870 LED Circuit Board Indicator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HLMP2870 is a dual-segment green LED circuit board indicator manufactured by onsemi, configured as a 2-wide DIP bar with an 8.89mm square flat-top lens. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. The part operates at 2.2V with a 90mA current rating and 50mcd brightness output, designed for through-hole mounting applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HLMP2870 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Color: Green (x 2) - must match exactly
• Wavelength - Peak: 565nm - must match exactly
• Configuration: Bar - 2 Wide, DIP - must match exactly
• Voltage Rating: 2.2V - must match exactly
• Lens Style: Square with Flat Top - must match exactly
• Lens Size: 8.89mm - must match exactly
• Mounting Type: Through Hole - must match exactly
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) - must match exactly
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected - must match exactly

Current rating and millicandela rating are secondary parameters that may vary within acceptable operational ranges for the application circuit. Substitute parts identified below meet all primary criteria.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HLMP-2870 manufactured by Broadcom Limited is the primary substitute for the obsolete onsemi HLMP2870. This part maintains active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The current rating of 20mA is significantly lower than the original 90mA specification; circuit design must accommodate this reduced current draw through appropriate series resistor adjustment.

The KB2870SGD manufactured by Kingbright is a secondary substitute option. This part maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The current rating of 25mA and millicandela rating of 22mcd differ from the original specification; the reduced brightness output (22mcd versus 50mcd) requires verification against application visibility requirements. The lens type is specified as diffused and tinted, which may affect optical characteristics compared to the original part.

Both substitute parts satisfy the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct pin-compatible replacement in through-hole PCB applications. Selection between substitutes depends on current budget constraints and brightness requirements of the specific application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HLMP-2870 (Broadcom) be used as a direct replacement for the HLMP2870 (onsemi)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage rating (2.2V), configuration (Bar - 2 Wide, DIP), color (Green x 2), wavelength (565nm), mounting type (through hole), and MSL rating (1). The primary difference is current rating: the Broadcom part operates at 20mA versus the original 90mA. Circuit design must be adjusted accordingly through series resistor modification.

Q: What is the impact of the lower current rating on the Broadcom HLMP-2870?

A: The 20mA current rating requires recalculation of series resistor values in the circuit. The reduced current draw will lower power consumption. Brightness output remains at 50mcd, matching the original specification.

Q: Is the KB2870SGD (Kingbright) suitable for applications requiring 50mcd brightness?

A: The KB2870SGD provides 22mcd brightness, which is 44% lower than the original 50mcd specification. This part is suitable only for applications where reduced brightness is acceptable. Verify visibility requirements before selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: All three parts are configured for through-hole mounting with 8.89mm lens size. The HLMP-2870 (Broadcom) does not specify lens style in the provided data, while both the original HLMP2870 and KB2870SGD specify square with flat top lens style. Verify mechanical fit in the PCB assembly before production implementation.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet REACH compliance?

A: Yes. All three parts carry REACH Unaffected status, indicating compliance with REACH regulations.
