Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MV5374C is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

Color: Yellow (required for visual indication compatibility)
Lens Transparency: Diffused (optical characteristic match)
Lens Size: 3mm, T-1 (mechanical fit and form factor)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (assembly compatibility)
Voltage - Forward (Vf): 2.0V to 2.2V range (circuit compatibility)
Current - Test: 10mA to 20mA (driver circuit compatibility)

Secondary Considerations:

Millicandela Rating: 2.2mcd to 30mcd (brightness variation acceptable within application tolerance)
Viewing Angle: 60° to 90° (application-dependent)
Wavelength - Peak: 583nm to 590nm (yellow spectrum range)
Product Status: Active or Not For New Designs (availability and support)

Substitute parts must match the primary criteria to ensure direct replacement capability. Secondary parameters may vary based on specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - HLMP-1401 (Broadcom Limited)

HLMP-1401 is the closest electrical match to MV5374C with identical lens size (3mm T-1), color (yellow), and lens style (round domed). Forward voltage is 2V versus 2.1V, requiring minimal circuit adjustment. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. Viewing angle is 60° compared to 90°, which may impact application visibility requirements. Test current is 10mA versus 20mA, indicating lower power consumption. Brightness is 2.2mcd versus 9mcd, representing a significant reduction in luminous intensity.

Secondary Substitute - WP3A10YD (Kingbright)

WP3A10YD matches MV5374C in color, lens size (3mm T-1), lens style, forward voltage (2.1V), and test current (20mA). Brightness is 15mcd, exceeding the original 9mcd specification. Viewing angle is 60° versus 90°. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. Height is 5.00mm versus 5.83mm, providing better PCB clearance.

Secondary Substitute - SLR-332YY3F (Rohm Semiconductor)

SLR-332YY3F provides yellow color, diffused lens, and forward voltage of 2.1V matching MV5374C. Lens size is 3.20mm diameter versus 3mm T-1, representing a minor mechanical variation. Brightness is 6.3mcd versus 9mcd. Viewing angle is 85° versus 90°. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. Test current is 10mA versus 20mA.

Tertiary Substitutes - SSL-LX305F6YD and SSL-LX306F4SYD (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.)

SSL-LX305F6YD and SSL-LX306F4SYD are yellow diffused through-hole LEDs with higher brightness ratings (30mcd and 100mcd respectively) and forward voltages compatible with MV5374C (2.2V and 2.1V). These parts accommodate applications requiring increased luminous intensity. Lens sizes differ (3.00mm and 3.40mm diameter), and viewing angles are narrower (60°). Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-1401 replace MV5374C directly in existing circuits?

A: HLMP-1401 is electrically compatible with forward voltage of 2V versus 2.1V. However, brightness is significantly lower at 2.2mcd versus 9mcd, and viewing angle is narrower at 60° versus 90°. Circuit redesign may be necessary if brightness or viewing angle are critical to application performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between WP3A10YD and MV5374C?

A: WP3A10YD matches MV5374C in electrical parameters (2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current) and mechanical form factor (3mm T-1 lens). Brightness is higher at 15mcd versus 9mcd. Viewing angle is narrower at 60° versus 90°. Both are through-hole radial packages suitable for PCB assembly.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. MV5374C compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: How do lens size variations affect mechanical compatibility?

A: MV5374C uses standard 3mm T-1 lens size. SLR-332YY3F (3.20mm), SSL-LX305F6YD (3.00mm), and SSL-LX306F4SYD (3.40mm) represent minor diameter variations. These differences may affect PCB hole sizing and mechanical fit. Verify PCB design specifications before substitution.

Q: Which substitute provides the closest brightness match to MV5374C?

A: SLR-332YY3F at 6.3mcd provides the closest brightness match to MV5374C at 9mcd. WP3A10YD at 15mcd offers higher brightness. HLMP-1401 at 2.2mcd represents significant brightness reduction.

Q: Can substitutes with different test currents be used interchangeably?

A: Test current specifications indicate the current at which brightness is measured. MV5374C is rated at 20mA test current. Substitutes rated at 10mA test current (HLMP-1401, SLR-332YY3F) will operate at different brightness levels when driven at 20mA. Circuit design must account for actual operating current and resulting brightness output.
