MV7442 LED Green Clear T-1 T/H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV7442 is a green LED indication component manufactured by onsemi, featuring a 3mm T-1 through-hole radial package with a clear domed lens. This discrete 2V LED delivers 240mcd brightness at 20mA test current with a 60° viewing angle and 570nm peak wavelength. The component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring green LED indication in T-1 form factor.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

3SUGC-F (Bivar Inc.) and HLMP-Y801-JPP00 (Broadcom Limited) are the preferred substitutes for the MV7442. Both components are in active production status, ROHS3 compliant, and deliver brightness levels (300mcd and 310mcd respectively) closest to the original specification of 240mcd. These parts maintain electrical compatibility within the 2.0V to 2.1V forward voltage range and support standard 20mA test current operation. HLMP-Y801-JPP00 offers REACH Unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory profile.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

LTL-4236N (Lite-On Inc.) is an active production alternative with extensive inventory availability (47,349 pcs). This part operates at reduced test current (10mA) and lower brightness (40mcd), suitable for applications where lower power consumption and reduced luminous intensity are acceptable. The 45° viewing angle provides moderate light distribution compared to the original 60° specification.

Conditional Substitutes (Limited Production Status):

SLR-343MC3F (Rohm Semiconductor) and SLR-343PC3F (Rohm Semiconductor) are available but carry product status designations limiting their use. SLR-343MC3F is marked "Not For New Designs" and SLR-343PC3F is marked "Last Time Buy," indicating these components are in end-of-life phases. These parts are suitable only for maintenance and repair of existing equipment where design changes are not feasible. SLR-343PC3F exhibits significantly reduced brightness (6.3mcd) and is appropriate only for low-intensity indication applications.

Lower Priority Substitute:

3GC-201-S (Bivar Inc.) is active and ROHS3 compliant but delivers only 40mcd brightness, substantially below the MV7442 specification of 240mcd. This part is suitable only for applications where reduced brightness is acceptable or where the narrower 20° viewing angle meets optical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace MV7442 with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the MV7442 in standard green LED indication applications. All parts share the same 3mm T-1 through-hole radial package, operate within the 2.0V to 2.1V forward voltage range, and support 10mA to 20mA test current operation. However, brightness levels vary significantly, so application requirements must be evaluated.

Q: What is the main difference between these substitutes?

A: The primary differences are brightness (millicandela rating), viewing angle, and product status. The MV7442 delivers 240mcd at 60° viewing angle. Substitute parts range from 6.3mcd to 310mcd with viewing angles from 20° to 60°. Select based on your application's brightness and light distribution requirements.

Q: Which substitute should I choose for new designs?

A: For new designs, select from parts with "Active" product status: 3GC-201-S, 3SUGC-F, HLMP-Y801-JPP00, or LTL-4236N. Among these, 3SUGC-F and HLMP-Y801-JPP00 offer brightness levels closest to the original MV7442 specification.

Q: Are there height differences I should consider for PCB layout?

A: Yes. The MV7442 has a maximum height of 6.30mm. Substitute parts range from 5.20mm to 6.58mm. HLMP-Y801-JPP00 and 3SUGC-F are the shortest at 5.20mm and 5.30mm respectively, while 3GC-201-S is the tallest at 6.58mm. Verify PCB clearance requirements before selection.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for SLR-343MC3F?

A: This designation indicates the component is in end-of-life status and Rohm Semiconductor does not recommend its use in new product designs. It is suitable only for maintenance and repair of existing equipment using this part.

Q: Is REACH compliance important for my application?

A: REACH compliance depends on your market and regulatory requirements. The MV7442 is REACH Unaffected. Among substitutes, HLMP-Y801-JPP00 and SLR-343MC3F are also REACH Unaffected. LTL-4236N is REACH Affected. Verify your regulatory requirements before final selection.

Q: Can I use LTL-4236N as a direct replacement if brightness is not critical?

A: Yes. LTL-4236N is an active production part with excellent inventory availability. It operates at 10mA test current (lower power consumption than the 20mA MV7442) and delivers 40mcd brightness. This part is suitable for applications where reduced brightness and lower power consumption are acceptable.

Q: What is the difference between wavelength peak and dominant wavelength?

A: Peak wavelength indicates the wavelength at maximum spectral output. Dominant wavelength is the single wavelength that best represents the perceived color to the human eye. Both parameters are provided where available in the specification data.
