Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HLMP-3590 Selection Criteria: The HLMP-3590 provides the highest luminous intensity at 55mcd with matching forward voltage (2.2V) to the MV54152. This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring increased brightness or longer viewing distances. The narrower viewing angle of 24° concentrates light output in a focused beam pattern. The increased test current of 20mA and maximum height of 10.90mm require verification of circuit design and mechanical clearance constraints. All RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings are maintained.

HLMP-3568 Selection Criteria: The HLMP-3568 offers clear lens transparency matching the MV54152 with moderate luminous intensity of 10.6mcd. Forward voltage is reduced to 2.1V, which may provide marginal circuit compatibility advantages in low-voltage applications. The viewing angle of 40° is narrower than the MV54152, affecting light distribution characteristics. This substitute maintains identical test current (10mA) and height specifications (6.35mm). All compliance certifications are equivalent.

HLMP-3554 Selection Criteria: The HLMP-3554 features diffused lens transparency, which differs from the MV54152 clear lens design. This substitute provides the lowest luminous intensity at 6.7mcd with the widest viewing angle of 50°. Forward voltage is 2.1V with matching test current of 10mA. Mechanical dimensions are identical (6.35mm height). The diffused lens characteristic alters light distribution and may be unsuitable for applications requiring directional light output. All compliance and MSL ratings are maintained.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and full RoHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original MV54152 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-3590 be used as a direct replacement for MV54152 in all applications?

A: HLMP-3590 shares the same forward voltage (2.2V) and radial through-hole package as MV54152, but differs in three key parameters: luminous intensity (55mcd vs. 15mcd), viewing angle (24° vs. 45°), and maximum height (10.90mm vs. 6.35mm). Direct substitution requires verification that the circuit design accommodates the higher test current (20mA vs. 10mA) and that mechanical clearance exists for the increased height. The narrower viewing angle concentrates light output differently than the original design.

Q: What is the primary difference between HLMP-3568 and HLMP-3554?

A: Both parts are Broadcom Limited T-1 3/4 green LEDs with identical forward voltage (2.1V), test current (10mA), and height (6.35mm). The primary difference is lens transparency: HLMP-3568 features a clear lens with 10.6mcd intensity and 40° viewing angle, while HLMP-3554 features a diffused lens with 6.7mcd intensity and 50° viewing angle. Clear lenses concentrate light output; diffused lenses scatter light across a wider area.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MV54152, HLMP-3590, HLMP-3568, and HLMP-3554 are all RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). All parts maintain equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance status.

Q: What viewing angle considerations apply when selecting a substitute?

A: The MV54152 provides a 45° viewing angle. HLMP-3590 narrows this to 24°, concentrating light in a focused beam suitable for directional indication. HLMP-3568 provides 40°, slightly narrower than the original. HLMP-3554 widens the angle to 50°, distributing light across a broader area. Application requirements for light distribution and visibility distance determine the appropriate viewing angle selection.

Q: Can HLMP-3554 be used where clear lens transparency is required?

A: No. HLMP-3554 features a diffused lens, which scatters light and differs fundamentally from the clear lens design of MV54152. Applications requiring clear lens transparency must use HLMP-3568 or HLMP-3590, both of which provide clear lens options.

Q: What is the impact of forward voltage differences between MV54152 (2.2V) and HLMP-3568/HLMP-3554 (2.1V)?

A: The 0.1V difference is within typical LED forward voltage tolerance ranges. HLMP-3568 and HLMP-3554 at 2.1V may provide marginal advantages in low-voltage circuit designs. However, circuit design verification is necessary to confirm that the reduced forward voltage does not affect current limiting resistor calculations or overall circuit performance.

Q: Does the increased height of HLMP-3590 (10.90mm vs. 6.35mm) affect mechanical compatibility?

A: Yes. The HLMP-3590 is 4.55mm taller than the MV54152. Applications with height-constrained PCB layouts, enclosures, or mechanical assemblies must verify that adequate clearance exists before substitution. The increased height may require design modifications to accommodate the taller component profile.

Q: What test current differences exist among the substitute parts?

A: MV54152, HLMP-3568, and HLMP-3554 operate at 10mA test current. HLMP-3590 operates at 20mA test current. Circuit designs must accommodate the doubled current requirement of HLMP-3590, which may necessitate resistor value adjustments and power supply capacity verification.
