MAN6480 LED 7-Segment Display - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAN6480 is a single-character, 7-segment LED display module manufactured by onsemi. It features a 0.56" green display with common cathode configuration, designed for numeric and alphanumeric applications. The device operates at 2.1V forward voltage with 20mA test current and delivers 2.2mcd brightness at 565nm wavelength peak.

The MAN6480 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for legacy systems.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MAN6480 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Display Type & Configuration: 7-segment, single character, common cathode
• Physical Dimensions: 0.56" digit size, 10-DIP package footprint (0.600", 15.24mm)
• Electrical Specifications: Forward voltage range (2.1V–2.2V), test current (20mA), wavelength (565nm green)
• Environmental Compliance: MSL rating, REACH status, RoHS compliance where applicable

The substitute parts LTS-6480G and SC56-11GWA meet these criteria with minor variations in physical width tolerance and brightness rating, while maintaining functional and electrical compatibility with the MAN6480 in standard 7-segment display applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAN6480 (onsemi): Obsolete product status. Original equipment applications requiring exact legacy specifications should transition to active alternatives.

LTS-6480G (Lite-On Inc.): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Electrical parameters match the MAN6480 (2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current). Brightness rating (2.4mcd) is marginally higher. Power dissipation is significantly lower (75mW vs. 600mW). Suitable for direct substitution in new designs and legacy system upgrades.

SC56-11GWA (Kingbright): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Forward voltage is 2.2V (0.1V higher than MAN6480). Brightness rating (11mcd) is substantially higher. Power dissipation is lower (62.5mW). Suitable for applications where increased brightness is acceptable and forward voltage tolerance permits 2.2V operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LTS-6480G replace MAN6480 directly? A: Yes. The LTS-6480G maintains identical display type, package, digit size, common cathode configuration, forward voltage (2.1V), and test current (20mA). Physical width tolerance is within acceptable limits for standard 10-DIP footprints.

Q: What is the difference between MAN6480 and SC56-11GWA? A: Both are 0.56" common cathode 7-segment displays in 10-DIP packages. The SC56-11GWA operates at 2.2V forward voltage (0.1V higher) and delivers 11mcd brightness compared to MAN6480's 2.2mcd. Circuit designs must accommodate the higher forward voltage specification.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible? A: Yes. All three parts use 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) package configuration with common cathode pinout for 7-segment displays. PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Which substitute offers the best power efficiency? A: SC56-11GWA has the lowest maximum power dissipation at 62.5mW, followed by LTS-6480G at 75mW. The original MAN6480 specifies 600mW maximum dissipation.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: LTS-6480G and SC56-11GWA are both ROHS3 compliant. The MAN6480 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data.

Q: What is the brightness difference between these parts? A: MAN6480 delivers 2.2mcd, LTS-6480G delivers 2.4mcd, and SC56-11GWA delivers 11mcd. All operate at 565nm wavelength (green). SC56-11GWA provides significantly higher luminous intensity.
