Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MV6400AGR is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Color: Green (565nm peak wavelength)
Lens Transparency: Diffused
Voltage Rating: 2V forward voltage
Current Rating: 10mA test current
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Package Configuration: 2-SMD, Gull Wing

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Lens Size: 1.75mm to 1.91mm diameter (minor dimensional variation acceptable)
Millicandela Rating: 3mcd to 7mcd (brightness range for indicator applications)
Viewing Angle: 50° to 90° (wider angles provide greater visibility margin)
Height: 2.92mm maximum (PCB clearance constraint)

Broadcom HLMP-6500 series parts meet these criteria with Active product status and RoHS3 compliance. Parts operating at 5V (HLMP-6800 and HLMP-6820 series) are listed for reference but require circuit redesign and are not direct substitutes for 2V applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Surface Mount Substitute (Recommended for PCB Redesign Compatibility):

HLMP-6500-F0011 is the primary equivalent for MV6400AGR. Both components use 2-SMD Gull Wing Surface Mount packaging with identical 2.92mm maximum height. The 0.1V forward voltage increase (2.1V vs 2V) is within standard LED tolerance and requires minimal circuit adjustment. The 7mcd brightness rating provides improved visibility margin over the original 3mcd specification. HLMP-6500-F0011 carries Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Alternative Surface Mount Options (Different Lead Configurations):

HLMP-6500-F0021 (Yoke Bend) and HLMP-6500-F0031 (Z-Bend) maintain identical electrical specifications and Surface Mount mounting but employ alternative lead geometries. These variants are suitable for specific PCB layout requirements where standard Gull Wing leads present routing constraints. All three HLMP-6500 variants share identical optical characteristics (7mcd, 90° viewing angle, 565nm peak wavelength).

Through Hole Alternative (Design Transition Only):

HLMP-6500-F001S provides electrical equivalence but requires Through Hole mounting, necessitating complete PCB redesign. This option is applicable only when transitioning from Surface Mount to Through Hole assembly processes.

Not Recommended for Direct Substitution:

HLMP-6505 employs Clear lens transparency versus the Diffused specification of MV6400AGR, resulting in significantly higher brightness (40mcd) and narrower viewing angle (28°). This part is suitable only for applications requiring concentrated light output and is not interchangeable for diffused indicator applications.

Parts operating at 5V (HLMP-6800-G0011, HLMP-6820-F0010, HLMP-6820-F0011, HLMP-6820-F0012) require circuit redesign and are not direct substitutes for 2V applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-6500-F0011 replace MV6400AGR without circuit modification?

A: HLMP-6500-F0011 is electrically compatible with minimal circuit adjustment. The 0.1V forward voltage difference (2.1V vs 2V) falls within standard LED operating tolerance. Current-limiting resistor values may require recalculation based on your specific supply voltage and desired operating current. Both components operate at 10mA test current and share identical 2.92mm height and 2-SMD Gull Wing packaging.

Q: What is the difference between HLMP-6500-F0011, HLMP-6500-F0021, and HLMP-6500-F0031?

A: All three parts are electrically and optically identical (2.1V, 10mA, 7mcd, 90° viewing angle, 565nm wavelength). The differences are in lead geometry: F0011 uses standard Gull Wing leads, F0021 uses Yoke Bend leads, and F0031 uses Z-Bend leads. Selection depends on PCB layout requirements and solder reflow process compatibility.

Q: Why is HLMP-6505 not recommended as a substitute?

A: HLMP-6505 has Clear lens transparency instead of Diffused, producing 40mcd brightness versus 3mcd for MV6400AGR. The narrower 28° viewing angle concentrates light output, making it unsuitable for general indicator applications requiring diffused illumination. This part is intended for focused light applications only.

Q: Can I use HLMP-6820 series parts as substitutes?

A: HLMP-6820 series parts operate at 5V forward voltage, requiring complete circuit redesign. They are not direct substitutes for the 2V MV6400AGR. Use these parts only if your application circuit is redesigned for 5V LED operation.

Q: What is the impact of the 90° viewing angle in HLMP-6500 series versus the 50° angle of MV6400AGR?

A: The wider 90° viewing angle of HLMP-6500 series provides greater visibility from off-axis positions, improving indicator visibility in applications where viewing angle is not constrained. This is generally advantageous for indicator applications and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All Broadcom HLMP-6500 series substitutes carry ROHS3 Compliant certification. The original MV6400AGR does not specify RoHS status. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, Broadcom substitutes meet this requirement.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) difference between MV6400AGR and substitutes?

A: MV6400AGR is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), while all Broadcom HLMP-6500 series substitutes are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks). MSL 2A requires storage in controlled humidity conditions and has a 4-week floor life after moisture exposure. This is a standard industry specification and does not affect component performance if proper handling procedures are followed.
