MV5460 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MV5460 is an active green LED indication component manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This T-1 form factor LED operates at 2.1V forward voltage with a 12mcd luminous intensity and features a clear, domed lens with 45° viewing angle. The component is ROHS3 compliant and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making it suitable for standard industrial and consumer electronics applications. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, performance requirements, or specific packaging needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within defined parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MV5460 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Green
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Lens Size: 3mm, T-1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Package / Case: Radial
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): 2.1V to 2.2V
• Test Current: 10mA to 20mA
• Millicandela Rating: 12mcd to 45mcd
• Viewing Angle: 24° to 45°
• Height Maximum: 6.30mm to 6.35mm
• Wavelength Peak: 565nm (consistent across all parts)

The three identified substitute parts (HLMP-1520, HLMP-1540, HLMP-1540-H0002) maintain all primary compatibility criteria while operating within the allowable electrical and mechanical parameter ranges. Variations in luminous intensity, viewing angle, and forward voltage reflect different performance grades within the same physical form factor and mounting configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HLMP-1520 Selection Criteria: This substitute operates at identical forward voltage (2.1V) to the MV5460 and maintains the same 45° viewing angle. The 22mcd luminous intensity provides intermediate brightness between the MV5460 (12mcd) and HLMP-1540 (45mcd). Test current is reduced to 10mA, resulting in lower power consumption. All mechanical dimensions and compliance certifications align with the MV5460. This part is suitable for applications where the original brightness specification is not critical and power efficiency is beneficial. Available in bulk packaging.

HLMP-1540 Selection Criteria: This substitute provides the highest luminous intensity (45mcd) at a marginally higher forward voltage (2.2V). The narrower viewing angle (24° versus 45°) concentrates light output, making this part suitable for applications requiring higher brightness or directional indication. Test current matches the MV5460 at 20mA. All compliance and mechanical specifications are equivalent. Available in bulk packaging with high inventory levels (36,641 pcs).

HLMP-1540-H0002 Selection Criteria: This variant is electrically and optically identical to HLMP-1540 but supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format instead of bulk. Forward voltage, test current, luminous intensity, and viewing angle specifications are unchanged. This packaging option is appropriate for automated assembly processes or applications requiring smaller order quantities. Inventory availability is lower (3,100 pcs) compared to bulk HLMP-1540 stock.

General Selection Logic: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, active product status, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Selection between substitutes depends on specific application requirements: brightness level, viewing angle, power consumption, and packaging format. Forward voltage variation (2.1V to 2.2V) is within typical circuit design tolerance for LED indication circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-1520 directly replace MV5460 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The HLMP-1520 operates at identical forward voltage (2.1V) and maintains the same 45° viewing angle and 3mm T-1 form factor. The 22mcd brightness is higher than the MV5460 (12mcd), which may be visually noticeable but does not create electrical incompatibility. Circuit current limiting resistors will function correctly with both parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between HLMP-1540 and HLMP-1540-H0002?

A: These parts are electrically and optically identical. The only difference is packaging format: HLMP-1540 is supplied in bulk packaging, while HLMP-1540-H0002 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both contain the same component with 45mcd brightness, 2.2V forward voltage, and 24° viewing angle.

Q: Will the 2.2V forward voltage of HLMP-1540 cause circuit compatibility issues?

A: No. The 0.1V difference between MV5460 (2.1V) and HLMP-1540 (2.2V) is within standard LED circuit design tolerance. Existing current-limiting resistor values will function correctly with both parts. Voltage drop across the LED will increase by approximately 5%, which is negligible in typical indication circuit applications.

Q: How does the 24° viewing angle of HLMP-1540 differ from the 45° angle of MV5460?

A: The narrower 24° viewing angle concentrates light output into a smaller cone, resulting in higher brightness within that cone but reduced visibility from wider angles. The 45° viewing angle of MV5460 and HLMP-1520 distributes light more broadly. Selection depends on application requirements: use 24° for focused indication or 45° for wider visibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MV5460, HLMP-1520, HLMP-1540, and HLMP-1540-H0002 are all ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). All parts are suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Q: What is the significance of the different test currents (10mA for HLMP-1520 versus 20mA for others)?

A: Test current indicates the standard operating point at which luminous intensity is measured. HLMP-1520 achieves 22mcd at 10mA, while MV5460 achieves 12mcd at 20mA. In actual circuit operation, brightness depends on the current supplied by the circuit design, not the test current specification. The test current is a reference point for comparing brightness ratings between parts.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production assembly?

A: Yes, provided circuit design accommodates the allowable parameter variations. All parts share identical mechanical form factor (3mm T-1 radial through-hole), lens style, and mounting configuration. Forward voltage variation (2.1V to 2.2V) and brightness differences (12mcd to 45mcd) must be evaluated against specific circuit requirements and visual performance specifications.
