Equivalent & Substitute Parts for MV8805

Part Overview

The MV8805 is a red LED indicator with a 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole package, designed for discrete indication applications. Manufactured by onsemi, this component features a 623nm dominant wavelength and 2400mcd brightness rating. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across forward voltage, current ratings, lens configuration, and mounting type to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Lens Configuration: 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole package with round domed top and clear lens
• Mounting Type: Through-hole radial configuration
• Color: Red spectrum indication
• Forward Voltage: 2.1V nominal operation
• Current Rating: 20mA test current
• Viewing Angle: 20° standard viewing angle
• Brightness: 2400mcd minimum rating

Substitute parts must match these parameters to ensure mechanical fit, electrical compatibility, and functional equivalence in circuit applications. Wavelength variations within the red spectrum (623nm to 660nm) are acceptable provided other parameters remain consistent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MV8005 (onsemi): Direct parametric equivalent with identical forward voltage (2.1V), current rating (20mA), and physical dimensions. Both parts share obsolete status. Selection is appropriate where onsemi component continuity is required and inventory availability permits.

MV8805 (Fairchild Semiconductor): Maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters including 2.1V forward voltage, 20° viewing angle, and 8.89mm height. Product status is active with ROHS3 compliance. Color specification as orange-red represents a minor spectral shift within acceptable red indication range. Recommended for new designs requiring active product status and regulatory compliance.

SSL-LX5093XRC/4 (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.): Meets all mechanical compatibility requirements with identical 5mm T-1 3/4 package and 20° viewing angle. Forward voltage is 1.7V, requiring circuit recalculation for current-limiting resistor values. Brightness rating of 2500mcd exceeds original specification. Product status is active with ROHS3 compliance. Selection requires verification of voltage compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MV8005 directly replace MV8805 in existing circuits? A: Yes. MV8005 shares identical forward voltage (2.1V), current rating (20mA), and physical dimensions with MV8805. No circuit modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the impact of using SSL-LX5093XRC/4 as a substitute? A: SSL-LX5093XRC/4 operates at 1.7V forward voltage compared to 2.1V for MV8805. This 0.4V difference requires recalculation of series current-limiting resistor values to maintain 20mA test current. Physical package compatibility is maintained. Brightness is slightly higher at 2500mcd.

Q: Are there color differences between substitute options? A: MV8805 (Fairchild) is specified as orange-red, while MV8805 (onsemi) and SSL-LX5093XRC/4 are specified as red. Peak wavelengths range from 630nm to 660nm. Visual appearance differences may be perceptible in direct comparison but remain within red spectrum indication applications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability? A: MV8805 (Fairchild Semiconductor) and SSL-LX5093XRC/4 (Lumex) both carry active product status. Both manufacturers maintain ROHS3 compliance. Inventory levels and lead times should be verified with component distributors for specific procurement timelines.

Q: Can SSL-LX5093XRC/4 be used in applications requiring 2.1V forward voltage? A: No. SSL-LX5093XRC/4 operates at 1.7V forward voltage. Use in circuits designed for 2.1V operation requires resistor recalculation and circuit validation to maintain proper LED current and brightness.

Q: What are the height differences between substitute parts? A: MV8805 (onsemi), MV8005 (onsemi), and MV8805 (Fairchild) all specify 8.89mm maximum height. SSL-LX5093XRC/4 specifies 8.60mm maximum height, a 0.29mm reduction suitable for space-constrained applications.
