HSMH-C110 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HSMH-C110 is a red 639nm LED indication component manufactured by Broadcom Limited, configured as a 2-SMD surface mount right-angle discrete LED with diffused lens. This part operates at 1.8V forward voltage with a 17mcd millicandela rating and 130° viewing angle. The product status is obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HSMH-C110 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength alignment: Dominant wavelength 639nm and peak wavelength 660nm
• Color specification: Red LED indication
• Test current: 20mA operating condition
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 2A (4 Weeks)

The HSMH-H110 qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on matching wavelength specifications (639nm dominant, 660nm peak), identical test current (20mA), shared color classification (red), and equivalent compliance certifications. Differences in forward voltage (2.1V vs 1.8V), millicandela rating (7.2mcd vs 17mcd), viewing angle (150° vs 130°), and lens transparency (clear vs diffused) represent design trade-offs that must be evaluated within specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HSMH-H110 is available as an active product from Broadcom Limited with current inventory support, addressing the obsolescence status of the HSMH-C110. Both components maintain equivalent compliance certifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification, MSL 2A). The HSMH-H110 carries identical test current specifications (20mA) and matching wavelength characteristics (639nm dominant, 660nm peak).

Circuit design modifications are required when substituting the HSMH-C110 with the HSMH-H110 due to forward voltage differential (0.3V increase from 1.8V to 2.1V). Applications requiring the specific diffused lens transparency of the HSMH-C110 must account for the HSMH-H110's clear lens specification. The reduced millicandela rating (7.2mcd vs 17mcd) and increased viewing angle (150° vs 130°) represent optical performance changes that must be validated against application brightness and angular distribution requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HSMH-H110 directly replace the HSMH-C110 without circuit modifications?

A: No. The forward voltage increase from 1.8V to 2.1V requires recalculation of series resistor values to maintain proper current limiting at 20mA test current. Circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: What is the impact of the lens transparency difference between diffused and clear?

A: The HSMH-C110 features a diffused lens for light scattering, while the HSMH-H110 has a clear lens. This affects light distribution characteristics and perceived brightness uniformity. Application-specific optical requirements determine compatibility.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Both components are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected with identical EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8541.41.0000. Moisture sensitivity levels are equivalent at MSL 2A (4 Weeks).

Q: Why is the HSMH-C110 listed as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects Broadcom Limited's discontinuation of this specific model. The HSMH-H110 represents the active alternative within the same product family.

Q: How do the brightness specifications compare?

A: The HSMH-C110 provides 17mcd at 20mA test current, while the HSMH-H110 provides 7.2mcd. Applications requiring specific brightness levels must account for this 56% reduction in millicandela rating.

Q: Are the wavelength specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components share identical dominant wavelength (639nm) and peak wavelength (660nm) specifications, ensuring color consistency in red LED indication applications.
