Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MV50152 are categorized into two groups based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Group 1: Broadcom HLMP-3351 Series (Similar Substitutes) These parts share identical mechanical specifications (T-1 3/4 lens size, 5mm round domed top, 6.35mm maximum height, through-hole radial mounting) and electrical test conditions (10mA test current). However, they differ in lens transparency (diffused vs. clear), forward voltage (1.9V vs. 1.6V), millicandela rating (2.1mcd to 5.4mcd vs. 2mcd), and viewing angle (50° vs. 45°). These differences classify them as similar substitutes rather than direct equivalents.

Group 2: Fairchild Semiconductor MV50152 (Parametric Equivalent) This part maintains identical electrical parameters (1.6V forward voltage, 2mcd rating, 10mA test current), mechanical form factor (T-1 3/4, 5mm, 6.35mm height), and lens characteristics (clear, red color, 45° viewing angle). It differs only in manufacturer source and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 3 vs. MSL 1).

Substitution logic is determined by: lens size, mounting type, package configuration, lens style, color, forward voltage tolerance, test current compatibility, physical height, and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent Selection: MV50152 (Fairchild Semiconductor)

The Fairchild Semiconductor MV50152 is a parametric equivalent suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original Everlight component is unavailable. This part maintains identical electrical characteristics (1.6V forward voltage, 2mcd brightness), mechanical form factor (T-1 3/4 through-hole radial), and optical properties (clear lens, 45° viewing angle). Both versions are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification. The primary distinction is moisture sensitivity rating: Fairchild MSL 3 (168 hours) versus Everlight MSL 1 (unlimited). This difference requires consideration only in applications with extended storage periods in high-humidity environments prior to assembly.

Similar Substitute Selection: Broadcom HLMP-3351 Series

The Broadcom HLMP-3351, HLMP-3351-D0000, and HLMP-3351-D0002 are classified as similar substitutes due to electrical and optical differences. These parts operate at 1.9V forward voltage (0.3V higher than MV50152) and feature diffused lens transparency compared to the clear lens of the original part. The HLMP-3351-D0000 and HLMP-3351-D0002 variants provide 2.1mcd brightness (matching MV50152 specification), while the base HLMP-3351 offers 5.4mcd. All three variants maintain identical mechanical compatibility (T-1 3/4, 6.35mm height, through-hole radial mounting) and compliance status (ROHS3, MSL 1, EAR99). Selection among these variants depends on brightness requirements and lens diffusion characteristics needed for the application.

All substitute options maintain active product status and are available in current inventory quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Broadcom HLMP-3351 series directly replace the MV50152 in existing designs?

A: The Broadcom HLMP-3351 series shares mechanical compatibility (T-1 3/4 form factor, through-hole radial mounting, 6.35mm height) but differs electrically. The forward voltage is 1.9V versus 1.6V for the MV50152, and the lens is diffused rather than clear. These differences affect circuit design (voltage drop calculations) and optical appearance (light diffusion pattern). Direct substitution requires circuit validation and assessment of optical requirements.

Q: What is the difference between HLMP-3351, HLMP-3351-D0000, and HLMP-3351-D0002?

A: All three are Broadcom red diffused T-1 3/4 LEDs with identical electrical specifications (1.9V forward voltage, 10mA test current) and mechanical form factors. The primary differences are brightness rating and packaging: HLMP-3351 provides 5.4mcd brightness in bulk packaging; HLMP-3351-D0000 provides 2.1mcd in bulk packaging; HLMP-3351-D0002 provides 2.1mcd in cut tape packaging. Selection depends on brightness requirements and packaging format needed for assembly processes.

Q: Is the Fairchild MV50152 a true equivalent to the Everlight MV50152?

A: Yes, the Fairchild MV50152 is a parametric equivalent. It maintains identical electrical parameters (1.6V forward voltage, 2mcd brightness, 10mA test current), mechanical specifications (T-1 3/4, 5mm, 6.35mm height, through-hole radial), and optical characteristics (clear red lens, 45° viewing angle). The only difference is moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 3 versus MSL 1), which affects storage conditions prior to assembly but does not impact in-service performance.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: The MV50152 (Everlight) is supplied in standard packaging format. The Broadcom HLMP-3351 series offers multiple packaging options: HLMP-3351 and HLMP-3351-D0000 are available in bulk packaging; HLMP-3351-D0002 is available in cut tape format. The Fairchild MV50152 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with assembly equipment requirements and production volume.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts (Broadcom HLMP-3351 series and Fairchild MV50152) maintain ROHS3 compliance status, matching the original Everlight MV50152. All parts carry EAR99 export classification and 8541.41.0000 HTSUS code.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: Everlight MV50152 (1,073 units), Broadcom HLMP-3351 (5,267 units), Broadcom HLMP-3351-D0000 (19,677 units), Broadcom HLMP-3351-D0002 (10,091 units), and Fairchild MV50152 (7,034 units). Inventory availability should be confirmed at time of procurement.
