MV8805 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MV8805 is a red LED indication component manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This T-1 3/4 (5mm) LED operates at a forward voltage of 2.1V with a test current of 20mA, delivering 2400mcd at a dominant wavelength of 623nm. The component is classified as Active product status and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with MSL Level 1 rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or inventory limitations. The MV8805 maintains 1149 pieces in current stock; however, alternative sources may be required for high-volume production schedules or long-term project planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MV8805 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute part must maintain identical lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), lens style (round with domed top), and mounting type (through hole). These parameters ensure physical fit within existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Optical Compatibility: The substitute part must match lens color (colorless) and lens transparency (clear). Red color classification and viewing angle (20°) must remain consistent. Peak wavelength may vary within the red spectrum range (typically 620nm–660nm) provided the dominant wavelength remains in the red indication band.

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (Vf) and test current (20mA) establish the operating point. Substitutes with different Vf ratings require circuit redesign and are not considered direct equivalents. Millicandela rating may vary within acceptable brightness tolerances for indication applications.

Compliance Requirements: All substitute parts must maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating to ensure regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The SSL-LX5093XRC/4 manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. meets all mechanical, optical, and compliance criteria for substitution with the MV8805.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criterion: Both the MV8805 and SSL-LX5093XRC/4 maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 environmental ratings. Both components are suitable for production applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Forward Voltage Consideration: The SSL-LX5093XRC/4 operates at 1.7V typical forward voltage compared to the MV8805 at 2.1V. This 0.4V difference represents a 19% reduction in operating voltage. Circuit designs utilizing current-limiting resistors must account for this voltage differential. Applications with fixed voltage supplies or tight voltage margins require circuit recalculation.

Optical Performance: The SSL-LX5093XRC/4 delivers 2500mcd compared to the MV8805 at 2400mcd, representing a 4% brightness increase. Peak wavelength shifts from 630nm to 660nm, remaining within the red indication spectrum. Both components maintain identical 20° viewing angles and clear colorless lenses.

Mechanical Fit: The SSL-LX5093XRC/4 height maximum of 8.60mm is 0.29mm shorter than the MV8805 at 8.89mm. This dimension remains compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts and mechanical clearances for T-1 3/4 components.

Inventory Availability: The SSL-LX5093XRC/4 maintains 10324 pieces in stock compared to 1149 pieces for the MV8805, providing superior supply continuity for extended production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSL-LX5093XRC/4 directly replace the MV8805 without circuit modification?

A: Direct replacement is possible only in applications where the 0.4V forward voltage difference does not affect circuit operation. Applications using fixed current-limiting resistors will experience approximately 19% higher current flow through the SSL-LX5093XRC/4. Circuit recalculation is required for voltage-sensitive designs.

Q: What is the significance of the peak wavelength difference between 630nm and 660nm?

A: Both wavelengths fall within the red indication spectrum. The 630nm peak (MV8805) produces a slightly more orange-red appearance, while the 660nm peak (SSL-LX5093XRC/4) produces a deeper red appearance. Visual perception differences are minimal in standard indication applications.

Q: Are both components suitable for RoHS3 regulated applications?

A: Yes. Both the MV8805 and SSL-LX5093XRC/4 maintain full RoHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the practical impact of the 100mcd brightness difference?

A: The SSL-LX5093XRC/4 at 2500mcd provides 4% higher brightness than the MV8805 at 2400mcd. This difference is imperceptible in standard indication applications and does not affect functional performance.

Q: Do both components share identical mechanical dimensions?

A: Both components use 5mm T-1 3/4 lens size with round domed top styling and through-hole radial mounting. Height dimensions differ by 0.29mm (MV8805: 8.89mm maximum; SSL-LX5093XRC/4: 8.60mm maximum), remaining compatible with standard PCB layouts.

Q: Which component should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on circuit voltage requirements and supply chain priorities. The MV8805 operates at 2.1V forward voltage; the SSL-LX5093XRC/4 operates at 1.7V. The SSL-LX5093XRC/4 offers superior inventory availability with 10324 pieces in stock.
