MSQ6410C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSQ6410C is a 4-character 7-segment LED display module manufactured by onsemi, featuring a 0.56" digit size with common anode configuration and green color output. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The module operates at 2.1V forward voltage with 20mA test current and is housed in a 36-DIP package format.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MSQ6410C are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Number of characters: 4 (exact match required)
• Digit size: 0.56" (14.22mm) (exact match required)
• Display type: 7-Segment (exact match required)
• Common pin configuration: Common Anode (exact match required)
• Color: Green (exact match required)
• Package format: 36-DIP Module (0.600", 15.24mm) (exact match required)
• Forward voltage (Vf): 2.1V to 2.2V (acceptable tolerance range)
• Test current: 20mA (exact match required)

The identified substitute parts from Kingbright meet all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria with the MSQ6410C, enabling direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Kingbright substitute parts (CA56-11CGKWA and CA56-11GWA) are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete MSQ6410C. The CA56-11CGKWA maintains the closest electrical match with 2.1V forward voltage specification. The CA56-11GWA operates at 2.2V, which remains within acceptable tolerance for common anode 7-segment display applications. Both parts are housed in identical 36-DIP module packages with matching mechanical dimensions, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CA56-11CGKWA and CA56-11GWA be used interchangeably with MSQ6410C?

A: Both Kingbright parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution. The CA56-11CGKWA matches the 2.1V forward voltage specification exactly. The CA56-11GWA operates at 2.2V, which is acceptable for common anode 7-segment display circuits designed for the MSQ6410C's 2.1V specification.

Q: What are the key differences between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are forward voltage (2.1V vs. 2.2V), millicandela rating (35mcd vs. 11mcd), and wavelength peak (574nm vs. 565nm). Both maintain identical character count, digit size, package format, and current specifications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: CA56-11GWA is specified with Tube packaging, while CA56-11CGKWA packaging is not specified. Both use the 36-DIP Module (0.600", 15.24mm) case format with identical mechanical dimensions (0.748" H x 1.980" W x 0.319" D).

Q: What is the significance of the "Clock" designation in the display type?

A: The "7-Segment Clock" designation indicates these Kingbright parts are optimized for clock and timing display applications. This does not affect electrical compatibility or functional substitution for standard 7-segment display applications.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both CA56-11CGKWA and CA56-11GWA are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the MSQ6410C RoHS status is not specified. This compliance status supports use in applications with RoHS regulatory requirements.
