Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HSMD-C197 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package Compatibility: 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package
• Electrical Characteristics: Forward voltage 2.2V at 20mA test current
• Optical Properties: Orange color with diffused lens transparency
• Wavelength Range: Dominant wavelength in the orange spectrum (604-606nm acceptable)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant status
• Mounting: Surface mount configuration

The substitute part 5975203407F from Dialight meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for LED indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HSMD-C197 and 5975203407F are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for current design implementations. The primary differences between these parts are luminous intensity (8mcd versus 2mcd), maximum height (0.40mm versus 0.70mm), and viewing angle (170° versus 152°). Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements for brightness and PCB clearance constraints. Both parts maintain identical forward voltage, test current, and package footprint specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5975203407F replace the HSMD-C197 in all applications?

A: The 5975203407F is electrically and mechanically compatible for the 0603 package footprint. However, the lower luminous intensity (2mcd versus 8mcd) and reduced viewing angle (152° versus 170°) may affect visibility in applications requiring higher brightness or wider viewing angles.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for LED substitution?

A: Forward voltage, test current, package dimensions, and wavelength are the primary electrical and mechanical factors. Both parts maintain 2.2V forward voltage at 20mA test current in the 0603 package with orange diffused lenses.

Q: Does the height difference affect PCB assembly?

A: The 5975203407F has a maximum height of 0.70mm compared to 0.40mm for the HSMD-C197. This difference must be evaluated against PCB clearance requirements and component placement constraints.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes, both the HSMD-C197 and 5975203407F are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the wavelength difference between these parts?

A: The HSMD-C197 has a dominant wavelength of 604nm while the 5975203407F is 606nm. Both share a peak wavelength of 605nm and are within the orange spectrum for LED indication applications.
