MV57164 LED Circuit Board Indicator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV57164 is a 10-segment LED circuit board indicator manufactured by onsemi, featuring a red bar configuration with through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates at 2V with 30mA current consumption and is designed for visual indication in electronic assemblies requiring bar-graph display functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Configuration: Bar - 10 Wide, DIP format
• Color: Red (x 10) segments
• Voltage Rating: 2V operation
• Current: 30mA per segment
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Both substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in wavelength peak (627nm to 635nm), millicandela rating (9mcd to 12mcd), and lens type (diffused vs. flat top) remain within acceptable tolerances for circuit board indicator applications. All substitute candidates maintain compatibility with standard DIP footprints and through-hole assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DC10EWA and SSA-LXB10IW are qualified substitutes for the obsolete MV57164. Selection between these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

DC10EWA (Kingbright) provides a direct functional replacement with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains the 2V/30mA electrical specification and through-hole mounting compatibility. The diffused white lens type offers improved light distribution compared to the original flat-top design.

SSA-LXB10IW (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.) offers enhanced brightness characteristics with 12mcd millicandela rating and a 160° viewing angle specification. This part also maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance, providing superior visibility in applications requiring wider viewing angles or higher luminous intensity.

Both substitutes are REACH compliant and classified under identical HTSUS and ECCN codes, ensuring regulatory and export compliance equivalence with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DC10EWA and SSA-LXB10IW be used interchangeably with MV57164?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical requirements (2V, 30mA) and mechanical specifications (Bar - 10 Wide DIP, through-hole mounting). Direct pin-for-pin substitution is possible. Differences in lens type and brightness characteristics may affect visual appearance in the application.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute options?

A: DC10EWA features a diffused white lens with 9mcd brightness, while SSA-LXB10IW provides higher brightness (12mcd) and a specified 160° viewing angle. Lens type differs from the original flat-top design in both substitutes.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between the substitutes?

A: Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications with the original part, ensuring equivalent regulatory status.

Q: Does the wavelength variation (627nm to 635nm) affect compatibility?

A: The wavelength range across all three parts (627nm to 635nm) falls within the standard red LED spectrum and is acceptable for circuit board indicator applications. Visual color perception remains consistent across this range.

Q: What mounting considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: All three parts use through-hole mounting with DIP configuration. Standard PCB footprints designed for the MV57164 will accommodate both substitute parts without modification.
