MV5474C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV5474C is a green diffused T-1 through-hole LED manufactured by onsemi, designed for LED indication applications. It features a 3mm lens with a domed top, forward voltage of 2.2V, and a brightness rating of 9 millicandela at 20mA test current. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MV5474C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and Lens Transparency: All substitutes must be green diffused LEDs to maintain optical consistency
• Lens Size and Style: T-1 3mm round domed top configuration ensures mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies
• Mounting Type: Through-hole radial package maintains compatibility with standard PCB footprints
• Forward Voltage (Vf): Acceptable range is 2.1V to 2.2V to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign
• Current Rating: Test current of 10mA to 20mA indicates acceptable operating conditions
• Wavelength: Peak wavelength in the 562nm to 572nm range maintains green color perception
• Viewing Angle: 35° to 90° accommodates various application requirements

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct substitutes with active product status and parametric equivalents with obsolete status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status Preference:

When sourcing replacements for the obsolete MV5474C, prioritize parts with active product status to ensure long-term availability and supply chain stability. All active substitutes listed comply with ROHS3 standards, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements.

Closest Electrical Match:

SSL-LX3054SGD and SSL-LX305F6GD provide the closest electrical match to MV5474C, maintaining identical forward voltage (2.2V), test current (20mA), and peak wavelength (565nm). These parts are manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. and carry active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

For Brightness-Critical Applications:

If the application requires higher brightness than the original 9mcd specification, SSL-LX305F6SGD offers 150mcd at identical electrical parameters (2.2V, 20mA, 565nm), providing a direct upgrade path without circuit modification.

For Compact PCB Layouts:

SLR-332MG3F from Rohm Semiconductor offers the lowest profile at 4.60mm maximum height while maintaining compatible electrical characteristics (2.1V forward voltage, 85° viewing angle, 572nm wavelength).

Parametric Equivalent Option:

HLMP1523 from onsemi provides parametric equivalence with identical electrical specifications (2.2V, 20mA, 90° viewing angle) but carries obsolete product status. This part is suitable only when active alternatives are unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with 2.1V forward voltage in a circuit designed for 2.2V?

A: Yes. The 0.1V difference is within acceptable tolerance for LED indication circuits. Circuit performance will not be affected, and the LED will operate reliably at the specified test current.

Q: What is the impact of different millicandela ratings on substitution?

A: Millicandela rating determines brightness. Substitutes with higher mcd ratings (such as SSL-LX305F6SGD at 150mcd versus MV5474C at 9mcd) will appear brighter. Lower mcd ratings will appear dimmer. Selection depends on application visibility requirements. No circuit modification is required for brightness differences.

Q: Are all listed substitutes mechanically compatible with the original MV5474C footprint?

A: Yes. All substitutes maintain T-1 3mm through-hole radial package configuration. Height variations (4.60mm to 6.50mm) are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect mechanical fit or electrical connection.

Q: Why do some substitutes have different viewing angles?

A: Viewing angle is determined by lens design and does not affect electrical compatibility. The MV5474C has a 90° viewing angle (wide angle). Substitutes with narrower viewing angles (such as 3GD-F at 35°) concentrate light in a narrower cone, while wider angles distribute light more broadly. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance for substitute selection?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets current environmental and regulatory standards for hazardous substance restrictions. All active substitutes listed are ROHS3 compliant. The original MV5474C does not specify RoHS status due to its obsolete status.

Q: Can I substitute MV5474C with HLMP1523?

A: HLMP1523 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (2.2V, 20mA, 90° viewing angle, 10mcd). However, both parts are obsolete. Use HLMP1523 only when active alternatives are unavailable. For new designs or long-term production, select from active status substitutes.

Q: How do wavelength differences affect color perception?

A: All listed substitutes maintain green color perception within the 562nm to 572nm peak wavelength range. Wavelength variations within this range are not perceptible to the human eye and do not affect application performance.
