LED Panel Indicator L58C-Y2-W Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L58C-Y2-W is a LED panel indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) from the L58 series. This component is a yellow clear lens indicator designed for 2V DC applications with 20mA current rating and 30° viewing angle. The part features wire leads of 6" (152.40mm) length and round domed lens style with 50mcd brightness output.

This part is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute components is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this indicator.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute relationships for the L58C-Y2-W are determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Optical Compatibility: Lens color (yellow) and lens transparency (clear) must match to maintain visual indication consistency in the application.

Mechanical Compatibility: Panel cutout shape (round) and termination style (wire leads) establish physical mounting and connection requirements. Variations in panel cutout dimensions and wire lead length may require mechanical adaptation.

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage and current ratings establish the operating envelope. Substitutes must operate within the power supply constraints of the original application circuit.

Functional Compatibility: Lens style (round with domed top) and viewing angle contribute to the optical performance profile of the indicator in its intended mounting context.

The substitute part 6563302303F from Dialight meets the optical and mechanical compatibility criteria (yellow clear lens, round domed style, wire leads, round panel cutout). However, electrical parameters differ: the substitute operates at 5V with 16mA current rating, compared to the original 2V/20mA specification. The substitute also features higher brightness (1960mcd versus 50mcd) and larger panel cutout dimensions (0.50" versus 0.19").

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The L58C-Y2-W is obsolete, making the active-status 6563302303F from Dialight a viable alternative for ongoing supply requirements.

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory consistency in applications subject to these requirements.

Electrical Parameter Differences: The substitute operates at 5V with 16mA current rating, whereas the original operates at 2V with 20mA. Selection of the substitute requires verification that the application circuit can accommodate 5V operation and that the 16mA current draw is acceptable within the power budget.

Mechanical Adaptation Requirements: The substitute features a 0.50" (12.70mm) panel cutout compared to the original 0.19" (4.83mm). Panel modifications or mechanical adapters may be necessary for physical installation.

Optical Performance Variance: The substitute provides 1960mcd brightness compared to the original 50mcd. Applications sensitive to indicator brightness levels should evaluate whether the increased luminous intensity affects user experience or creates unintended visual effects.

Wire Lead Compatibility: Both components use wire leads with comparable lengths (6" original versus 5.84" substitute), supporting similar wiring practices and routing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6563302303F directly replace the L58C-Y2-W without circuit modifications?

A: Direct replacement is not possible without circuit evaluation. The substitute requires 5V operation compared to the original 2V specification. The application circuit must be assessed to determine if 5V supply is available and if voltage regulation or conversion is necessary.

Q: What are the mechanical installation differences?

A: The substitute requires a 0.50" (12.70mm) round panel cutout compared to the original 0.19" (4.83mm). Existing panel openings designed for the L58C-Y2-W will not accommodate the larger substitute without modification or mechanical adaptation.

Q: Does the higher brightness of the substitute (1960mcd versus 50mcd) affect compatibility?

A: Increased brightness is an optical difference that may impact the application. If the original indicator brightness was calibrated for specific visual feedback or user interface requirements, the significantly brighter substitute may produce unintended effects. Application-specific evaluation is necessary.

Q: Are the wire lead lengths compatible?

A: The wire lead lengths are comparable (6" original versus 5.84" substitute), supporting similar wiring and routing practices. This parameter does not present a substitution barrier.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both the L58C-Y2-W and 6563302303F maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory requirements for these certifications are satisfied by either component.

Q: Why is the current rating lower in the substitute (16mA versus 20mA)?

A: The substitute is rated for 16mA at its 5V operating voltage. This represents the maximum safe current for the component at its specified voltage. The application power budget must accommodate this current draw at 5V.

Q: Is the substitute available in active production?

A: Yes. The 6563302303F is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete L58C-Y2-W.
