Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LTL-4233-R2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color: Green (569nm dominant wavelength, 565nm peak wavelength)
• Lens Configuration: Diffused, round domed top, 5mm form factor
• Mounting: Through-hole radial package
• Optical Performance: Millicandela rating and viewing angle within acceptable operational range
• Mechanical Compatibility: Maximum height 8.60mm, standard T-1 3/4 package dimensions
• Regulatory Compliance: MSL 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000

The SSL-LX5093GD-12V qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on matching color, lens transparency, lens style, lens size, mounting type, package configuration, height specification, and regulatory classification. Variations in millicandela rating (20mcd vs. 29mcd), viewing angle (60° vs. 36°), and forward voltage specification reflect design differences within acceptable substitution parameters for indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSL-LX5093GD-12V is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete LTL-4233-R2. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical mechanical compatibility: matching lens size, style, height, and radial through-hole mounting
• Matching optical wavelength specification (565nm peak) and diffused lens transparency
• Equivalent regulatory classification: ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000, MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status providing environmental regulatory alignment
• Identical packaging and form factor eliminating PCB redesign requirements

The SSL-LX5093GD-12V operates at 12V forward voltage with 20mcd brightness and 60° viewing angle, representing design variations appropriate for indication applications where the original LTL-4233-R2 specifications are no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSL-LX5093GD-12V directly replace the LTL-4233-R2 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions (5mm lens size, 8.60mm maximum height), radial through-hole mounting configuration, and package form factor. No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What are the differences in optical performance between these parts?

A: The SSL-LX5093GD-12V provides 20mcd brightness with a 60° viewing angle, compared to the LTL-4233-R2 at 29mcd with 36° viewing angle. Both maintain the same peak wavelength (565nm) and diffused lens transparency for green indication applications. The wider viewing angle of the substitute may be advantageous in applications requiring broader light distribution.

Q: Are there voltage or current compatibility considerations?

A: The SSL-LX5093GD-12V is specified at 12V forward voltage, whereas the LTL-4233-R2 does not provide a forward voltage specification. Circuit design must accommodate the 12V operating point of the substitute. The test current for the original part is 12mA; verify that the substitute's current requirements align with the application circuit.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The SSL-LX5093GD-12V carries RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS 8541.41.0000 tariff code, matching the regulatory profile of the original LTL-4233-R2.

Q: Is the substitute part currently available?

A: Yes. The SSL-LX5093GD-12V is classified as active product status with 45,179 pieces in stock, ensuring procurement availability and supply chain continuity for the obsolete LTL-4233-R2.
