MV67538MP7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MV67538MP7 is an LED Circuit Board Indicator (CBI) designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This single red LED operates at 2.1V with a 20mA current rating and delivers 14 millicandela brightness with a 65° viewing angle. The component features a 5mm T-1 3/4 round domed lens configuration suitable for panel-mount indicator applications.

The part is currently in active production status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity, optimize inventory management, and maintain design flexibility across manufacturing batches and procurement cycles.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MV67538MP7 is determined by strict alignment across three parameter categories:

Electrical Parameters: The substitute part must maintain identical current rating (20mA) and voltage rating (2.1V) to ensure circuit compatibility without requiring design modifications.

Optical Parameters: Color (Red), millicandela rating (14mcd), and viewing angle (65°) must match exactly to preserve indicator visibility and performance characteristics in the target application.

Mechanical Parameters: Lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), lens style (Round with Domed Top), and mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle) must be identical to ensure physical fit within the PCB layout and enclosure design.

Configuration: Single-element configuration is required for direct substitution.

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct equivalents and can be used interchangeably without circuit redesign or mechanical rework.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: MV67538MP7 manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd is the original specified part with confirmed active production status and ROHS3 compliance. This part carries Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage and assembly.

Substitute Selection: MV67538MP7 manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. All functional parameters align identically with the primary part. This substitute maintains active product status and supports equivalent circuit performance.

Compliance Considerations: The Everlight version carries explicit ROHS3 Compliant certification. The Fairchild version lists RoHS Status as "Not applicable," which may indicate different regulatory documentation or classification methodology. Organizations with mandatory ROHS3 requirements should verify compliance documentation with Fairchild before procurement.

Moisture Sensitivity: The Everlight part (MSL 1) has no moisture handling restrictions. The Fairchild part (MSL 3, 168 Hours) requires controlled storage conditions and has a 168-hour floor life limitation after moisture exposure. Assembly processes must account for this difference in handling protocols.

Inventory Availability: Everlight stock: 807 units. Fairchild stock: 3,958 units. Selection may be influenced by required order quantities and delivery timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MV67538MP7 from Fairchild Semiconductor be used as a direct replacement for the Everlight version?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters (20mA current, 2.1V voltage), optical parameters (red color, 14mcd, 65° viewing angle), and mechanical parameters (5mm T-1 3/4 round domed lens, through-hole right-angle mounting) are identical. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required.

Q: What is the difference in moisture sensitivity between the two manufacturers?

A: The Everlight part carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning no moisture-related storage restrictions. The Fairchild part carries MSL 3 (168 Hours), requiring controlled humidity storage and limiting floor life to 168 hours after moisture exposure. Assembly facilities must implement appropriate baking and handling procedures for the Fairchild part if moisture absorption occurs.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The Everlight part explicitly states ROHS3 Compliant status. The Fairchild part lists RoHS Status as "Not applicable." Organizations with mandatory ROHS3 requirements should obtain formal compliance documentation from Fairchild before finalizing procurement decisions.

Q: Can I mix Everlight and Fairchild versions in the same production batch?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. Both parts are functionally identical and will perform identically in the circuit. However, if your quality or compliance procedures require uniform manufacturer sourcing or specific RoHS certification, mixing may not be permitted by your internal standards.

Q: What parameters must match for a part to be considered a true substitute?

A: For the MV67538MP7, the following parameters must match exactly: color (red), configuration (single), current rating (20mA), voltage rating (2.1V), millicandela rating (14mcd), viewing angle (65°), lens size (5mm T-1 3/4), lens style (round with domed top), and mounting type (through-hole right-angle). Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from direct substitution.

Q: Is the part number identical between manufacturers?

A: Yes. Both the Everlight and Fairchild versions carry the identical part number MV67538MP7. This indicates cross-manufacturer compatibility at the specification level, though manufacturing processes and quality certifications may differ.
