LED Circuit Board Indicator MV57164 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Everlight Electronics MV57164 is a 10-segment LED circuit board indicator bar featuring red LEDs in a through-hole DIP configuration. This component is designed for visual status indication applications requiring a linear array of light-emitting elements. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production support and design continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting characteristics to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MV57164 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute must operate at 2V nominal voltage with 30mA forward current. These parameters define the circuit interface and power supply requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute must feature a 10-segment bar configuration in DIP format with through-hole mounting. The lens style must be rectangle with flat top to maintain visual consistency and mechanical fit within the PCB layout.

Optical Compatibility: The substitute must emit red light (630nm wavelength range) to preserve the intended visual indication function.

Environmental Compliance: The substitute must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating to ensure regulatory conformance and handling compatibility.

The Lumex Opto/Components SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP satisfies all critical substitution criteria while maintaining active product status and full compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Lumex Opto/Components SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Everlight MV57164. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2V, 30mA), configuration (10-segment bar DIP), and mounting methodology (through-hole). Mechanical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance (5.08mm x 1.74mm versus 5.08mm x 1.78mm), representing a 0.04mm height variance that does not impact PCB layout or mechanical assembly.

The substitute part maintains full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and handling compatibility. The substitute's active product status provides supply chain continuity and long-term availability, addressing the obsolescence constraint of the original component.

The substitute exhibits higher luminous intensity (8mcd versus 1.8mcd) and specified viewing angle (160°), which represent performance enhancements rather than incompatibilities. These characteristics maintain backward compatibility while providing improved optical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP directly replace the MV57164 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components operate at identical voltage (2V) and current (30mA) specifications. The 10-segment bar DIP configuration and through-hole mounting are identical. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.04mm lens size difference?

A: The lens size variance (5.08mm x 1.74mm versus 5.08mm x 1.78mm) is within standard manufacturing tolerance for LED indicators and does not affect PCB footprint compatibility or mechanical fit.

Q: Why does the substitute have higher brightness (8mcd versus 1.8mcd)?

A: The substitute's increased luminous intensity is a performance enhancement. It operates within the same electrical parameters and provides improved visibility without requiring circuit modifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MV57164 and SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the difference between the lens types?

A: The MV57164 lens type is not specified in available documentation. The SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP features a diffused, tinted lens, which provides enhanced light distribution and color saturation while maintaining the same rectangular flat-top form factor.

Q: Is the substitute part currently available?

A: Yes. The SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP maintains active product status with documented inventory availability, providing supply continuity for the obsolete MV57164.
