MAN5960 7-Segment LED Display - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAN5960 is a single-character 7-segment LED display module manufactured by onsemi, featuring an orange-red light-emitting element in a 10-DIP package configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and production continuity. The display operates at 2V forward voltage with a 20mA test current and is housed in a standard 0.600" (15.24mm) DIP package with common cathode configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAN5960 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Package Type: Must be 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) for direct PCB compatibility
• Display Configuration: Single-character 7-segment format with common cathode pin arrangement
• Electrical Specifications: Forward voltage of 2V and test current of 20mA
• Physical Dimensions: Character height of approximately 0.51" to 0.52" (13.00mm to 13.21mm)
• Optical Properties: Red or orange-red wavelength range (627nm to 635nm)

The SC52-11EWA from Kingbright meets these substitution criteria. While it features a red color (627nm wavelength) rather than orange-red (635nm), and exhibits different brightness and power dissipation characteristics, it maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical package type, common cathode configuration, forward voltage, and test current specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC52-11EWA represents a viable substitute for the obsolete MAN5960 based on product status and compliance alignment. The MAN5960 is classified as obsolete, whereas the SC52-11EWA maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification. Both components share identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99).

Direct pin-for-pin replacement is supported through matching 10-DIP package configuration and common cathode electrical architecture. Both components operate at 2V forward voltage with 20mA test current, ensuring compatibility with existing circuit designs without modification to drive circuitry.

The SC52-11EWA exhibits lower maximum power dissipation (75mW versus 600mW) and higher brightness output (6.4mcd versus 2.5mcd), which may require evaluation in applications where thermal management or optical intensity are design constraints. The wavelength difference (627nm red versus 635nm orange-red) represents a minor color shift that should be assessed for visual consistency in end-use applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SC52-11EWA be used as a direct replacement for the MAN5960 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) package configuration and common cathode pin arrangement, enabling direct PCB compatibility without layout changes.

Q: What is the primary reason for seeking a substitute for the MAN5960?

A: The MAN5960 is classified as obsolete. The SC52-11EWA is an active product with current manufacturing availability and ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are there electrical compatibility concerns between these two displays?

A: No. Both components operate at 2V forward voltage with 20mA test current, maintaining full electrical compatibility with existing drive circuits.

Q: How do the optical characteristics differ between these parts?

A: The MAN5960 produces orange-red light at 635nm wavelength with 2.5mcd brightness, while the SC52-11EWA produces red light at 627nm wavelength with 6.4mcd brightness. The SC52-11EWA is brighter and exhibits a slightly different color tone.

Q: What is the significance of the power dissipation difference?

A: The SC52-11EWA has a maximum power dissipation of 75mW compared to the MAN5960's 600mW. This indicates improved efficiency in the substitute part and reduced thermal load on the circuit board.

Q: Are both components moisture-sensitive?

A: No. Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity and no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the SC52-11EWA?

A: The SC52-11EWA is ROHS3 compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status with EAR99 ECCN classification, matching the regulatory profile of the original MAN5960.
