MV7441 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV7441 is a green LED indicator in T-1 (3mm) through-hole package manufactured by onsemi. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The MV7441 delivers 150mcd brightness with a 2.1V forward voltage and 60° viewing angle, suitable for standard indication applications requiring green light output at 570nm peak wavelength.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MV7441 is determined by the following critical parameters: color (green), lens transparency (clear), package type (T-1 radial through-hole), forward voltage (2.1V nominal), and test current (20mA). The millicandela rating, viewing angle, and peak wavelength are secondary parameters that may vary within acceptable ranges for equivalent functionality.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Substitutes (Functionally Equivalent): Parts meeting all primary parameters with minor variations in brightness or viewing angle.

Parametric Equivalent: Parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications from alternative manufacturers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MV7441 (Fairchild Semiconductor): This parametric equivalent offers identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original onsemi part. It is actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant. The MSL rating of 3 requires controlled storage conditions (168 hours maximum exposure at 85°C/85% RH before reflow). Select this part for direct replacement in applications where the original onsemi specification is required.

HLMP-Y801-JPP00 (Broadcom Limited): This substitute maintains clear lens transparency, 2.1V forward voltage, and 20mA test current. It delivers higher brightness (310mcd versus 150mcd) with a narrower viewing angle (30° versus 60°). It is actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1. Select this part for applications requiring higher brightness output with directional light distribution.

LTL1CHKGKNN (Lite-On Inc.): This substitute provides clear lens transparency with 2.05V forward voltage and 20mA test current. It delivers higher brightness (320mcd versus 150mcd) with a 45° viewing angle. It is actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1. This part offers the highest inventory availability (31,919 pcs). Select this part for applications requiring higher brightness with moderate viewing angle.

HLMP-1503-C0002 (Broadcom Limited): This substitute features diffused lens transparency, which differs from the original clear lens. It operates at 10mA test current versus 20mA, resulting in significantly lower brightness (2.6mcd). It maintains 2.1V forward voltage and 60° viewing angle. Select this part only for applications where diffused lens characteristics and lower brightness are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-Y801-JPP00 replace MV7441 in all applications?

A: HLMP-Y801-JPP00 is electrically compatible (2.1V, 20mA) and mechanically compatible (T-1 radial through-hole). However, it has a narrower viewing angle (30° versus 60°) and higher brightness (310mcd versus 150mcd). Verify that your application can accommodate these differences before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between clear and diffused lens transparency?

A: Clear lenses provide focused light output with sharp intensity distribution. Diffused lenses scatter light over a wider area with reduced peak intensity. HLMP-1503-C0002 uses diffused transparency, while MV7441, HLMP-Y801-JPP00, and LTL1CHKGKNN use clear transparency. Select based on your application's light distribution requirements.

Q: Is the MV7441 from Fairchild a true equivalent?

A: Yes. The Fairchild MV7441 matches all electrical and mechanical parameters of the onsemi original: 2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 150mcd brightness, 60° viewing angle, and 6.30mm maximum height. The primary difference is MSL rating (3 versus 1), requiring controlled storage conditions.

Q: Why does LTL1CHKGKNN have lower test current (20mA) but higher brightness (320mcd)?

A: Brightness is determined by LED efficiency and die design, not test current alone. LTL1CHKGKNN achieves higher brightness through superior LED efficiency at the same 20mA test current. This is a direct advantage for applications requiring higher light output.

Q: Can I use HLMP-1503-C0002 as a direct replacement?

A: HLMP-1503-C0002 is not a direct replacement. It operates at 10mA test current (versus 20mA) and produces only 2.6mcd (versus 150mcd). Its diffused lens also differs from the clear lens of MV7441. Use this part only if your application specifically requires diffused light and can operate at reduced brightness.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. HLMP-Y801-JPP00, LTL1CHKGKNN, and MV7441 (Fairchild) are all ROHS3 compliant. The original onsemi MV7441 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What is MSL and why does it matter?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) indicates how long a component can be exposed to ambient conditions (85°C/85% RH) before reflow soldering. MSL 1 (unlimited) allows indefinite storage. MSL 3 (168 hours) requires controlled storage. MV7441 (Fairchild) has MSL 3, requiring careful handling and storage management.
