Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Through-Hole Axial Replacement (Recommended Primary Choice): HLMP-6300 is the optimal substitute for MV6700A applications. Both components share 1.8V forward voltage, identical peak wavelength (635nm), through-hole axial mounting, and equivalent physical dimensions (2.92mm maximum height). HLMP-6300 is active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The increased brightness (10mcd vs. 3mcd) and wider viewing angle (90° vs. 50°) provide enhanced performance margins without circuit modification.

For Low-Current Applications: HLMP-7000 operates at 1.8V forward voltage with identical mounting and package specifications but requires only 2mA test current versus 10mA for MV6700A. This variant suits applications with strict power budget constraints while maintaining through-hole axial compatibility.

For Brightness-Critical Applications: HLMP-Q100-N0000 and HLMP-Q102 deliver significantly higher brightness (45mcd and 100mcd respectively) at 1.8V and 1.9V forward voltage with through-hole axial mounting. HLMP-Q102 operates at 20mA test current with narrower 35° viewing angle, suitable for focused indication requirements.

For Surface Mount Redesigns: HLMP-6300-F0011, HLMP-6300-F0021, and HLMP-6300-F0031 provide identical electrical specifications (1.8V, 10mcd, 635nm) with SMD packaging variants (Gull Wing, Yoke Bend, Z-Bend). These options apply only to PCB designs supporting surface mount assembly.

Voltage Variant Considerations: HLMP-6000 (1.6V) and HLMP-6600 (5V) require circuit design verification due to forward voltage deviation from MV6700A specification. These variants are applicable only when circuit topology accommodates the voltage difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-6300 directly replace MV6700A without PCB modification? A: Yes. HLMP-6300 maintains identical through-hole axial mounting, 2.92mm maximum height, and 1.8V forward voltage. Direct PCB substitution is possible without layout changes. The increased brightness (10mcd vs. 3mcd) and wider viewing angle (90° vs. 50°) represent performance improvements compatible with existing circuits.

Q: What is the difference between HLMP-6300 and HLMP-6300-F0031? A: HLMP-6300 is through-hole axial mounted with flat leads. HLMP-6300-F0031 is surface mount with Z-Bend leads. Electrical specifications (1.8V, 10mcd, 635nm) are identical, but mounting type differs. Selection depends on PCB assembly technology: through-hole for conventional boards, Z-Bend SMD for automated surface mount lines.

Q: Is HLMP-Q102 compatible with MV6700A circuits? A: HLMP-Q102 shares through-hole axial mounting and similar forward voltage (1.9V vs. 1.8V). However, it operates at 20mA test current (vs. 10mA) and delivers 100mcd brightness with narrower 35° viewing angle. Circuit design verification is required to confirm current capacity and optical performance alignment.

Q: Why does HLMP-6600 have 5V forward voltage? A: HLMP-6600 is designed for higher-voltage applications. At 5V forward voltage, it requires different circuit design than MV6700A (1.8V). Substitution is possible only when circuit topology supports 5V operation. Direct replacement without design modification is not recommended.

Q: Are all Broadcom HLMP substitutes ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed Broadcom HLMP variants (HLMP-6000, HLMP-6300, HLMP-6300-F0011, HLMP-6300-F0021, HLMP-6300-F0031, HLMP-6600, HLMP-7000, HLMP-Q100-N0000, HLMP-Q102, HLMP-Q150) are ROHS3 compliant. MV6700A product status is obsolete with unspecified RoHS status. Broadcom substitutes ensure regulatory compliance for new designs and production.

Q: What is the viewing angle impact when substituting MV6700A with HLMP-6300? A: MV6700A has 50° viewing angle; HLMP-6300 has 90° viewing angle. The wider angle increases light distribution across a broader spatial range. For applications requiring focused indication, this represents improved performance. For applications with specific directional requirements, the wider angle may require optical design review.

Q: Can HLMP-Q150 replace MV6700A in low-brightness applications? A: HLMP-Q150 operates at 1.6V forward voltage (vs. 1.8V) with 1.8mcd brightness (vs. 3mcd) and 1mA test current (vs. 10mA). Through-hole axial mounting is identical. Substitution is viable for ultra-low-power applications where reduced brightness and lower forward voltage are acceptable. Circuit design verification is required.
