MAN6710 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAN6710 is a dual-character 7-segment LED display module manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. This red LED display operates as a common anode configuration with a 0.56" character height, designed for numeric and alphanumeric applications. The product is currently active in production status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges for this display module category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAN6710 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Characters: 2
• Display Type: 7-Segment
• Common Pin Configuration: Common Anode
• Color: Red
• Character Height: 0.56" (14.22mm)
• Package Type: 18-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm)
• Current - Test: 20mA
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Within the operating range of common anode red LED displays
• Wavelength - Peak: Red spectrum range (650nm to 660nm)
• Millicandela Rating: Variation permitted based on LED efficiency
• Power Dissipation: Variation permitted based on forward voltage and current characteristics
• Physical Dimensions: Minor tolerance variations within DIP package specifications
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted if all mandatory parameters align

The HDSP-521A from Broadcom Limited meets all mandatory matching criteria and is therefore classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MAN6710 and HDSP-521A are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering considerations:

MAN6710 (Everlight Electronics):

• Forward voltage specification of 2V (Max) suits applications with higher voltage supply margins
• Millicandela rating of 0.42mcd appropriate for standard brightness applications
• Peak wavelength of 650nm provides standard red spectrum output

HDSP-521A (Broadcom Limited):

• Forward voltage of 1.85V enables operation in lower voltage supply designs
• Millicandela rating of 6.5mcd provides enhanced brightness output
• Peak wavelength of 660nm provides deep red spectrum output
• Power dissipation of 30mW indicates superior efficiency compared to the 960mW specification of the MAN6710

Both parts share identical package footprint (18-DIP), pinout configuration (common anode), character count (2), display type (7-segment), and test current (20mA). Direct PCB substitution is supported without circuit modification when electrical supply parameters are within specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HDSP-521A replace the MAN6710 in an existing circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are 18-DIP common anode dual-character 7-segment red displays with 0.56" character height and 20mA test current. The HDSP-521A operates at 1.85V forward voltage compared to the MAN6710's 2V maximum, making it compatible with the same supply voltage range. No circuit modification is required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference in brightness between these two displays?

A: The HDSP-521A has a millicandela rating of 6.5mcd, while the MAN6710 has 0.42mcd. This indicates the HDSP-521A produces significantly higher brightness output. The difference in brightness is a result of LED efficiency variations between manufacturers and production batches.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and fall under HTSUS code 8541.41.0000. No compliance differences exist between these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference (650nm vs 660nm)?

A: Both wavelengths fall within the red spectrum range. The MAN6710 operates at 650nm (standard red), while the HDSP-521A operates at 660nm (deep red). This produces a slight color perception difference but does not affect functional compatibility or circuit operation.

Q: Can I use the HDSP-521A if my circuit is designed for the MAN6710's power dissipation specification?

A: Yes. The HDSP-521A's power dissipation of 30mW is significantly lower than the MAN6710's 960mW specification. This indicates the HDSP-521A operates more efficiently. Circuits designed for the higher power dissipation of the MAN6710 will operate without thermal concerns when using the HDSP-521A.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: The dimensions are nearly identical within DIP package tolerance. MAN6710 dimensions are 0.750" H x 0.985" W x 0.315" D, while HDSP-521A dimensions are 0.732" H x 0.984" W x 0.315" D. Both fit the standard 18-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) footprint. The minor height and width variations do not affect PCB mounting or mechanical fit.

Q: What packaging is available for each part?

A: The MAN6710 is available in standard DIP packaging. The HDSP-521A is available in Tube packaging. Both use the same 18-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) package type for circuit board mounting.
