MV63538MP7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV63538MP7 is a 5mm through-hole right-angle LED circuit board indicator manufactured by onsemi, featuring a yellow diffused lens with domed top. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates at 2.1V with a 20mA forward current and delivers 18mcd brightness output at a 65° viewing angle.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MV63538MP7 is determined by the following critical parameters that must align with the original design:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Color: Yellow
• Configuration: Single
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Voltage Rating: 2.1V

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating: May be lower than 20mA (10mA acceptable for reduced power consumption)
• Millicandela Rating: May be lower than 18mcd (6.3mcd acceptable for reduced brightness applications)
• Viewing Angle: May be narrower than 65° (50° acceptable for focused indication)
• Lens Type: Diffused variants acceptable (with or without tinting)

The Dialight 5502307F meets all mandatory parameters while operating at reduced current (10mA) and brightness (6.3mcd), making it a valid substitute for applications where lower power consumption is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Dialight 5502307F is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory advantage over the obsolete MV63538MP7. Both components share identical voltage ratings, moisture sensitivity levels, and export classifications.

Selection of the 5502307F substitute requires evaluation of application brightness and current consumption requirements. The reduced current draw (10mA versus 20mA) and lower brightness output (6.3mcd versus 18mcd) are acceptable for applications where indicator visibility is not critical or where power efficiency is prioritized. The narrower viewing angle (50° versus 65°) may limit peripheral visibility in certain mounting orientations.

For applications requiring the original 18mcd brightness and 65° viewing angle, alternative yellow 5mm through-hole right-angle LED indicators from other manufacturers should be evaluated against the same parameter set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5502307F directly replace the MV63538MP7 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only in applications where the reduced brightness (6.3mcd versus 18mcd) and narrower viewing angle (50° versus 65°) do not compromise indicator visibility. The identical voltage rating (2.1V) and mounting configuration ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the impact of the 10mA current rating on circuit design?

A: The 5502307F operates at half the current of the MV63538MP7. Existing current-limiting resistor values must be recalculated to maintain proper LED operation at 2.1V forward voltage. Lower current consumption reduces power dissipation in the circuit.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both components are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99. The 5502307F carries active ROHS3 compliance status, while the MV63538MP7 is obsolete. For new designs, the 5502307F provides superior regulatory standing.

Q: Does the absence of tinting in the 5502307F lens affect performance?

A: Both parts feature diffused lenses for yellow indication. The MV63538MP7 includes tinting, while the 5502307F does not. This difference does not affect electrical performance but may result in slightly different color saturation perception.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The MV63538MP7 is available in standard packaging, while the 5502307F is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, requiring no special storage conditions.
