LED Circuit Board Indicator MV53164 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV53164 is a 10-segment LED circuit board indicator manufactured by onsemi, featuring a yellow light-emitting bar configuration in a 5.08mm x 1.78mm through-hole package. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part operates at 2V with a 200mA current rating and delivers 1.8mcd brightness output, suitable for status indication applications requiring vertical bar display formats.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MV53164 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Configuration: Bar - 10 Wide, DIP format
• Lens Size: 5.08mm x 1.78mm physical dimensions
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Color: Yellow (x 10) spectral output
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top

The DC10YWA from Kingbright qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching configuration, physical dimensions, mounting method, color specification, and lens geometry. Electrical parameter variations (voltage, current, brightness) fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for equivalent component substitution in circuit board indicator applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DC10YWA represents the primary substitute for the obsolete MV53164. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability
• Identical mechanical form factor and through-hole mounting compatibility
• Matching 10-segment bar configuration and yellow color specification
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification matching the original component

Circuit designs utilizing the MV53164 may require current-limiting resistor adjustment due to the DC10YWA's lower operating current (30mA versus 200mA) and higher brightness output (9mcd versus 1.8mcd). Voltage tolerance remains within acceptable design margins (2.1V versus 2V nominal).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DC10YWA directly replace the MV53164 without circuit modifications?

A: Physical and mechanical compatibility is direct. Electrical circuit parameters require evaluation. The DC10YWA operates at lower current and higher brightness, necessitating resistor value recalculation to maintain proper LED operating conditions and prevent overcurrent conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference between 585nm and 590nm?

A: Both wavelengths fall within the yellow spectral range and are visually indistinguishable in circuit board indicator applications. The 5nm difference represents normal manufacturing variation within the yellow LED category.

Q: Why does the DC10YWA have a diffused white lens while the MV53164 specification does not list lens type?

A: The diffused white lens on the DC10YWA provides light scattering characteristics suitable for indicator applications. This optical property does not prevent functional substitution in standard circuit board indicator circuits.

Q: Is the packaging difference (tube versus unspecified) relevant to substitution?

A: Packaging format affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both components are suitable for through-hole PCB assembly processes.

Q: What compliance certifications should be verified for the substitute part?

A: The DC10YWA carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both components share EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes, confirming regulatory equivalence.
