MR5460 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The onsemi MR5460 is a green diffused LED indicator in T-1 through-hole radial package, rated for 5V operation at 12mA test current with 4mcd brightness. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The MR5460 serves as a discrete 5V green indication element suitable for panel-mount and circuit board applications requiring standard green wavelength indication around 565nm.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MR5460 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Color and Wavelength: Green indication at 565nm peak wavelength
Lens Configuration: Diffused, round with domed top, 3mm T-1 package
Electrical Characteristics: Forward voltage and test current compatibility
Mounting Type: Through-hole radial configuration

Physical Dimensions: 3mm lens diameter, height compatibility within 6.30mm maximum

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category A - Direct 5V Equivalents: Parts with 5V forward voltage matching the MR5460 operating point, suitable for direct replacement in existing 5V circuits.

Category B - Low-Voltage Alternatives: Parts with 2V-2.2V forward voltage, requiring circuit redesign but offering improved efficiency and RoHS3 compliance for new designs.

Category C - Specialized Variants: Right-angle mounting and alternative brightness ratings for specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement in Existing 5V Circuits:

HLMP-1640 and HLMP-1640-B00A2 are active production parts from Broadcom Limited with identical 5V forward voltage and 60° viewing angle matching the MR5460. Both are ROHS3 compliant. HLMP-1640-B00A2 provides right-angle through-hole mounting for circuit board indicator applications. The lower millicandela rating (1.6mcd versus 4mcd) requires brightness verification in the target application.

For New Designs with RoHS3 Compliance:

The 3GDL-F from Bivar Inc. matches the MR5460 brightness specification at 4mcd with 2.1V forward voltage and ROHS3 compliance. This part requires circuit redesign for lower voltage operation but maintains equivalent optical performance. The 151031VS06000 from Würth Elektronik (WL-TMRC series) offers higher brightness at 30mcd with 2.2V operation and 60° viewing angle, suitable for applications requiring increased visibility.

For Alternative Wavelength Applications:

The 264-7SYGD/S530-E2 from Everlight Electronics provides yellow-green indication at 573nm dominant wavelength with 50mcd brightness and 2V operation. This part is suitable only where yellow-green indication is acceptable and represents a different color specification from the MR5460.

Compliance Considerations:

All recommended active substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance certification, addressing the RoHS non-compliant status of the obsolete MR5460. REACH compliance is confirmed for Broadcom and Bivar parts. The HLMP-1641 variant operates at 12V and is not recommended for direct 5V circuit replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-1640 directly replace MR5460 in existing circuits?

A: HLMP-1640 shares identical 5V forward voltage, 60° viewing angle, and 565nm peak wavelength with MR5460. Physical dimensions are compatible (6.35mm height versus 6.30mm maximum). The primary difference is lower brightness at 1.6mcd versus 4mcd. Direct substitution is possible if the application brightness requirement does not exceed 1.6mcd.

Q: What is the difference between 3GD-F and 3GDL-F?

A: Both Bivar parts operate at 2.1V with 35° viewing angle and 568nm wavelength. The 3GD-F is rated for 20mA test current with 25mcd brightness. The 3GDL-F is rated for 2mA test current with 4mcd brightness, matching the MR5460 brightness specification. Selection depends on circuit current capability and brightness requirements.

Q: Why do some substitutes have different forward voltages?

A: The MR5460 operates at 5V, which is higher than modern LED efficiency standards. Substitute parts at 2V-2.2V represent current manufacturing technology with improved power efficiency. Circuits using lower-voltage substitutes require series resistor recalculation based on the new forward voltage and test current specifications.

Q: Are yellow-green parts suitable replacements?

A: Yellow-green parts such as 264-7SYGD/S530-E2 and 414SYGD/S530-E2 have different dominant wavelengths (573nm-575nm) and color appearance compared to the green MR5460 (565nm). These are suitable only in applications where color indication change is acceptable or required.

Q: What is the viewing angle significance?

A: The MR5460 specifies 60° viewing angle. Substitutes with narrower angles (35° for Bivar parts) concentrate brightness in a smaller cone, appearing brighter at center but dimmer at angles. Substitutes with wider angles (120° for HLMP-1640-B00A1) distribute brightness over a larger area. Selection depends on the intended viewing geometry of the application.

Q: Are right-angle variants compatible?

A: HLMP-1640-B00A1 and HLMP-1640-B00A2 are right-angle through-hole variants of the standard HLMP-1640. These are suitable only for applications requiring right-angle mounting to the circuit board. Standard radial parts are required for vertical through-hole mounting.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The MR5460 is supplied in bulk packaging. Würth Elektronik 151031VS06000 is available in bulk. Everlight 414SYGD/S530-E2 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.
