MAN5950 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAN5950 is a 7-segment LED display module manufactured by onsemi, featuring a single orange-red character with common anode configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The display operates at 2V forward voltage with 20mA test current and is housed in a standard 10-DIP package.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAN5950 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Display Type: 7-Segment configuration
• Character Count: Single character
• Common Pin: Common Anode topology
• Voltage Rating: 2V forward voltage
• Current Specification: 20mA test current
• Package: 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) footprint
• Physical Envelope: Compatible dimensions within tolerance

The SA52-11EWA from Kingbright meets all substitution criteria. While the digit size increases marginally from 0.51" to 0.52" and the color shifts from orange-red to red, the electrical parameters, package footprint, and pin configuration remain compatible with the MAN5950 application space.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SA52-11EWA serves as a direct functional substitute for the MAN5950 based on electrical and mechanical compatibility. The substitute maintains identical voltage and current specifications, common anode configuration, and 10-DIP package footprint, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in existing circuit designs.

The SA52-11EWA is classified as active product status with RoHS3 compliance, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment for new production. Both components carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 classification.

The SA52-11EWA exhibits higher luminous intensity (6.4mcd versus 2.5mcd) and significantly lower power dissipation (75mW versus 600mW), representing improved efficiency characteristics. The wavelength shift from 635nm to 627nm reflects the color transition from orange-red to red, which may require visual assessment in the target application context.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA52-11EWA replace MAN5950 in existing designs without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current), common anode configuration, and 10-DIP package footprint. Direct substitution is electrically compatible.

Q: What are the physical differences between these components?

A: The digit size increases from 0.51" to 0.52", and the width dimension increases from 0.482" to 0.488". The height and depth remain unchanged. These dimensional variations fall within typical PCB layout tolerances for DIP packages.

Q: How does the color difference affect substitution?

A: The MAN5950 emits orange-red light (635nm peak wavelength), while the SA52-11EWA emits red light (627nm peak wavelength). Color perception differences may be visible in applications where display color is functionally significant. Luminous intensity also differs (2.5mcd versus 6.4mcd).

Q: Are there compliance or supply chain advantages to using SA52-11EWA?

A: The SA52-11EWA is active product status with RoHS3 compliance, whereas the MAN5950 is obsolete. The substitute provides ongoing availability and regulatory alignment for new production.

Q: What is the power dissipation difference, and does it matter?

A: The SA52-11EWA dissipates 75mW maximum compared to 600mW for the MAN5950. This represents improved thermal efficiency and reduced power consumption in the substitute component.
