Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MV8141 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Red
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Supplier Device Package: T-1 3/4 (5mm)

Secondary Electrical Parameters (within acceptable operating range):

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) Typical: 1.7V to 2.2V
• Current - Test: 20mA (standard test condition)
• Wavelength - Peak: 624nm to 660nm (red spectrum)

Compliance & Environmental:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected (both acceptable for substitution)

All substitute parts listed maintain mechanical compatibility through identical or equivalent T-1 3/4 5mm through-hole packaging and electrical operation within the specified forward voltage and current ranges. Product status (Active vs. Obsolete) does not restrict substitution eligibility but indicates long-term availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

SSL-LX5093SRC/F and HLMP-D105-M0002 are the most direct substitutes. SSL-LX5093SRC/F matches the MV8141 forward voltage (1.7V) and peak wavelength (660nm) exactly, with higher brightness (1200mcd vs. 370mcd) and identical test current (20mA). HLMP-D105-M0002 provides active product status with minimal voltage deviation (1.8V vs. 1.7V) and is available in Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly.

Secondary Substitutes (Acceptable with Design Verification):

LTL2R3KEK and LTL2R3KRK from Lite-On maintain T-1 3/4 5mm through-hole compatibility with forward voltages of 2.05V and 2V respectively. Both operate at 20mA test current and deliver brightness levels (700mcd and 680mcd) significantly higher than the MV8141. These parts are suitable where increased brightness is acceptable or beneficial.

OVLLR8C7 from TT Electronics/Optek Technology operates at 2V forward voltage with 900mcd brightness and offers the lowest profile (6.80mm height). The 100° viewing angle differs substantially from the MV8141's 40°, making this part suitable only for applications where wide-angle illumination is required.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. SSL-LX5093SRC/F carries REACH Unaffected status matching the MV8141. LTL2P3KRK and LTL2R3KRK are REACH Affected, which does not restrict substitution but requires compliance verification in regulated applications. All parts are RoHS3 compliant where specified.

Product Status Impact:

The MV8141's obsolete status necessitates substitution. All listed alternatives carry Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. HLMP-D105-M0002 and HLMP-D155-F0002 are available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HLMP-D105 directly replace MV8141 in existing PCB designs?

A: HLMP-D105 maintains mechanical compatibility through identical T-1 3/4 5mm through-hole radial packaging. Forward voltage differs by 0.1V (1.8V vs. 1.7V), which is within typical LED operating tolerance. However, brightness is lower (240mcd vs. 370mcd) and viewing angle is narrower (24° vs. 40°). Circuit verification is required to confirm brightness adequacy and viewing angle suitability for the application.

Q: What is the difference between HLMP-D105 and HLMP-D105-M0002?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging: HLMP-D105 is supplied in Bulk, while HLMP-D105-M0002 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly, while Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Is SSL-LX5093SRC/F a suitable substitute if brightness is critical?

A: Yes. SSL-LX5093SRC/F delivers 1200mcd brightness, significantly exceeding the MV8141's 370mcd rating. Forward voltage matches exactly at 1.7V, and peak wavelength is identical at 660nm. The 30° viewing angle is narrower than the MV8141's 40°, but the higher brightness compensates for reduced angular coverage in most indication applications. This part is recommended where maximum brightness is required.

Q: Can I use OVLLR8C7 as a direct replacement?

A: OVLLR8C7 maintains T-1 3/4 5mm through-hole compatibility and operates at 2V forward voltage within acceptable range. However, the 100° viewing angle is substantially wider than the MV8141's 40°, and the 6.80mm height is significantly lower than the MV8141's 8.90mm. Use OVLLR8C7 only in applications where wide-angle illumination and compact height are design requirements.

Q: What forward voltage tolerance should I design for when substituting?

A: The MV8141 operates at 1.7V typical. Substitute parts range from 1.7V to 2.2V. Design circuits to accommodate this range. If the application uses current-limiting resistors, verify that resistor values remain appropriate across the full voltage range. For 1.7V parts (SSL-LX5093SRC/F, HLMP-D155-F0002), no adjustment is required. For 2V to 2.2V parts, recalculate resistor values to maintain consistent LED current.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All substitute parts listed carry RoHS3 compliance where specified in the provided data. SSL-LX5093SRC/F, HLMP-D105, HLMP-D105-M0002, HLMP-D155-F0002, LTL2P3KRK, LTL2R3KEK, LTL2R3KRK, OVLLR8C7, and XLM2ACR169W are all RoHS3 compliant. Compliance documentation should be verified with the supplier for specific production lots.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Mixing substitute parts with different brightness ratings (mcd) and viewing angles is not recommended in the same circuit unless brightness variation is acceptable. If multiple LEDs are used for indication, maintain consistency by using the same part number across all instances. This ensures uniform brightness and viewing angle characteristics.

Q: What is the impact of different lens styles on substitution?

A: The MV8141 features a Round with Domed Top lens. All primary substitutes (HLMP-D105, HLMP-D105-M0002, LTL2R3KEK, LTL2R3KRK, SSL-LX5093SRC/F, XLM2ACR169W) maintain identical lens style. OVLLR8C7 features a Round with Flat Top lens, which affects light distribution characteristics. Flat-top lenses typically provide more uniform brightness across the viewing angle, while domed-top lenses concentrate light more toward the center. Select based on application requirements.
