MV63538MP6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV63538MP6 is a 5mm through-hole right-angle LED circuit board indicator manufactured by onsemi. It features a yellow diffused lens with domed top, rated for 20mA operation at 2.1V forward voltage, and delivers 18mcd brightness. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications where this LED indicator is specified in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Dialight 5500305F qualifies as a direct substitute for the MV63538MP6 based on the following critical parameters:

• Lens Size Match: Both components use 5mm, T-1 3/4 form factor, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts
• Color & Configuration: Both are single yellow LEDs, maintaining visual consistency in indicator applications
• Current & Voltage Ratings: Both operate at 20mA and 2.1V, allowing direct circuit compatibility without redesign
• Mounting Type: Both feature through-hole right-angle mounting, preserving board assembly compatibility
• Lens Characteristics: Both employ diffused lens technology with round domed top styling

The 5500305F remains in active production status, providing supply continuity for the obsolete MV63538MP6.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5500305F from Dialight serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete MV63538MP6. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical core specifications, enabling direct substitution in through-hole PCB applications.

The 5500305F carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements. The MV63538MP6 product status as obsolete necessitates transition to the active 5500305F for new production and long-term supply assurance.

Minor performance variations exist: the 5500305F delivers 12.3mcd versus the original 18mcd, and features a 60° viewing angle compared to 65°. These differences remain within acceptable tolerances for standard circuit board indicator applications where the primary function is status signaling rather than high-intensity illumination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5500305F directly replace the MV63538MP6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), electrical ratings (20mA, 2.1V), and color (yellow). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the brightness differences between these parts?

A: The MV63538MP6 is rated at 18mcd while the 5500305F is rated at 12.3mcd. For standard indicator applications, this difference does not impact functionality. Applications requiring specific brightness levels should evaluate the 12.3mcd output against design requirements.

Q: Are there viewing angle considerations?

A: The MV63538MP6 provides 65° viewing angle; the 5500305F provides 60°. Both angles support typical circuit board indicator visibility. Applications with specific angular visibility requirements should confirm the 60° specification meets operational needs.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The MV63538MP6 is packaged in standard form; the 5500305F is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Does the 5500305F meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 5500305F is ROHS3 compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.
