Equivalent & Substitute Parts for MV37509MP6

Part Overview

The MV37509MP6 is a Circuit Board Indicator LED manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. This component is a single red LED with a 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole right-angle configuration, designed for 2.2V operation at 20mA with 150mcd brightness output. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main component specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in circuit board applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging or supplier options are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MV37509MP6 are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Direct Equivalent (MV37509MP7): This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications including 2.2V voltage rating, 20mA current, 150mcd brightness, and 635nm peak wavelength. The lens configuration, size (5mm T-1 3/4), and mounting type (through-hole right-angle) are identical. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus original specification) and manufacturer assignment (Fairchild Semiconductor). MSL rating differs at 3 (168 Hours) versus the original MSL 1.

Similar Configuration Parts (4302H1-5V, 4302H1-12V): These Visual Communications Company - VCC parts share the same physical form factor (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole), lens style (round with domed top), and peak wavelength (635nm red). However, these parts operate at different voltage ratings (5V and 12V respectively) with lower brightness output (8mcd versus 150mcd) and different current specifications. These are classified as similar rather than direct equivalents due to electrical parameter divergence.

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

• Lens size and mounting type (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole)
• Color and wavelength (Red, 635nm)
• Voltage and current ratings
• Brightness output (millicandela rating)
• Lens transparency and style

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (MV37509MP6 ↔ MV37509MP7):

The MV37509MP7 provides functional equivalence with identical electrical performance (2.2V, 20mA, 150mcd, 635nm). Both parts are Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these parts depends on packaging requirements and MSL tolerance. The MV37509MP7 carries MSL 3 (168 Hours) versus MSL 1 (Unlimited) for the original part; this difference is relevant only in moisture-sensitive storage environments exceeding 168 hours without desiccant protection.

For Similar Configuration Selection (4302H1-5V or 4302H1-12V):

The VCC 4302H1 series parts share physical form factor compatibility but operate at different voltage levels (5V or 12V) with significantly reduced brightness output (8mcd versus 150mcd). These parts are suitable only when circuit design accommodates the different voltage requirements and lower luminous intensity. Both VCC parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The 4302H1-5V operates at 10mA; the 4302H1-12V operates at 13mA.

Compliance Considerations:

All listed parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. REACH status is unaffected for VCC parts. Selection should prioritize Active status parts (all listed options qualify) to ensure continued supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MV37509MP7 directly replace MV37509MP6 in all applications?

A: Yes, for electrical and mechanical functionality. The MV37509MP7 maintains identical voltage (2.2V), current (20mA), brightness (150mcd), wavelength (635nm), and physical form factor (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole right-angle). The MSL rating difference (3 versus 1) affects only storage conditions; if the original part was stored under MSL 1 conditions, the substitute should follow equivalent moisture control protocols.

Q: Why are 4302H1-5V and 4302H1-12V listed as substitutes if they have different voltage ratings?

A: These parts are classified as similar configuration options rather than direct equivalents. They share the same physical form factor (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole), lens style, and red wavelength (635nm). However, they operate at 5V or 12V respectively, not 2.2V. These parts are suitable only when circuit design is modified to accommodate the different voltage supply and when the reduced brightness output (8mcd versus 150mcd) is acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the significance of lens type differences (Tinted versus Diffused)?

A: Lens type affects light distribution and color saturation. The MV37509MP6 uses a tinted lens, which concentrates light output with higher intensity in the forward direction. The VCC 4302H1 series uses diffused lenses, which scatter light over a wider viewing angle (60°). This difference impacts visibility characteristics and should be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: Are all listed parts suitable for high-volume production?

A: All listed parts carry Active product status. Inventory availability varies: MV37509MP6 (1026 pcs), MV37509MP7 (5893 pcs), 4302H1-5V (2640 pcs), and 4302H1-12V (1927 pcs). For high-volume requirements, confirm current inventory and lead times with suppliers.

Q: What mounting differences exist between the main part and substitutes?

A: The MV37509MP6 and MV37509MP7 both specify through-hole right-angle mounting. The VCC 4302H1 series specifies through-hole radial mounting. Right-angle configuration positions the LED perpendicular to the circuit board; radial configuration positions it parallel. This difference affects PCB layout compatibility and must be verified before substitution.

Q: Do all parts meet the same environmental compliance standards?

A: All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. VCC parts include REACH Unaffected status. MSL ratings differ: MV37509MP6 and VCC parts are MSL 1 (Unlimited); MV37509MP7 is MSL 3 (168 Hours). For applications requiring unlimited moisture-insensitive storage, MV37509MP6 or VCC parts are preferred.
