LDS-A5206RI Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LDS-A5206RI is a single-character red 7-segment LED display module manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. This display operates as a common anode configuration and is housed in a 10-DIP package. The component is classified as Active product status and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected designation.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters of the 7-segment display category. Substitution becomes necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain requirements, or design optimization within allowable parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LDS-A5206RI is determined by the following critical parameters:

Package Compatibility: The 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) package format is the primary mechanical constraint. Substitute parts must utilize identical DIP packaging to ensure PCB footprint compatibility and socket interchangeability.

Electrical Configuration: Common anode topology is mandatory. The substitute part must operate with the same pin configuration and polarity requirements as the main part.

Display Characteristics: Single-character 7-segment red LED display format is required. Substitute parts must maintain identical segment architecture and color specification.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are mandatory for substitution eligibility. Both the main part and substitute must meet these regulatory standards.

Operational Parameters: Forward voltage (Vf) and test current specifications define the acceptable operating range. Substitute parts may operate within industry-standard tolerances for red LED displays in this category.

The LAP-601VB from Rohm Semiconductor meets all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: The LDS-A5206RI remains the primary component choice when the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are required. This part maintains Active product status with established supply availability (844 pcs in stock) and full regulatory compliance.

Substitute Selection: The LAP-601VB is a qualified substitute when the LDS-A5206RI is unavailable. Both parts share identical package format (10-DIP), common anode configuration, and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). The LAP-601VB operates within compatible voltage and current parameters for red 7-segment LED display applications.

Compliance Verification: Both parts maintain Active product status and meet all specified regulatory requirements. No compliance barriers exist for substitution between these components.

Inventory Consideration: The LAP-601VB provides alternative sourcing with 811 pcs available in stock, supporting supply chain continuity when primary part availability is constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LAP-601VB directly replace the LDS-A5206RI on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts utilize identical 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) package format with common anode configuration. PCB footprints and socket compatibility are equivalent.

Q: What are the electrical differences between these parts?

A: The LAP-601VB operates at 1.9V forward voltage compared to 1.8V for the LDS-A5206RI. Test current remains 10mA for both parts. The LAP-601VB exhibits higher brightness (36mcd vs. 13.3mcd) and greater maximum power dissipation (448mW vs. 100mW).

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LDS-A5206RI and LAP-601VB maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the physical size difference?

A: The LAP-601VB digit size is 0.57" (14.60mm) compared to 0.52" (13.21mm) for the LDS-A5206RI. Overall dimensions differ slightly: LAP-601VB measures 0.748" H x 0.492" W x 0.315" D versus LDS-A5206RI at 0.689" H x 0.497" W x 0.276" D.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: Yes. The LDS-A5206RI has MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the LAP-601VB has MSL 3 (168 Hours). This affects storage and handling requirements.

Q: Can the LAP-601VB be used in applications requiring the exact brightness of the LDS-A5206RI?

A: The LAP-601VB provides higher brightness output (36mcd vs. 13.3mcd). Applications requiring specific brightness levels must account for this difference through circuit design adjustments.

Q: Are there wavelength differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The LDS-A5206RI has peak wavelength of 660nm, while the LAP-601VB operates at 650nm. Both are red spectrum displays with minimal perceptual difference.
