MV8W00 White LED T-1 3/4 Through-Hole Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The onsemi MV8W00 is a white LED indication component in T-1 3/4 through-hole package format, rated at 3.8V forward voltage with 2500mcd brightness. This part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with through-hole mounting, radial package configuration, and standard white LED indication functionality while accommodating variations in electrical performance parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Lens Configuration: Colorless, clear lens with round domed top
Package Format: 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole radial package
Mounting Type: Through-hole configuration
Test Current: 20mA operation
Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in forward voltage (Vf), millicandela rating, and viewing angle are permissible within the scope of white LED indication applications, provided the parts operate at 20mA test current and maintain through-hole radial package compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active production components with ROHS3 compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage over the obsolete MV8W00. Selection among substitutes should be based on circuit design requirements for forward voltage tolerance and brightness output.

For applications requiring forward voltage closest to the original 3.8V specification, LTW-2R3D7 (3.4V) and SLX-LX5093UWC/C (3.4V) provide minimal voltage deviation. For applications with lower voltage supply constraints, LTW-2S3D8 (2.8V) accommodates reduced supply rails. For applications requiring higher brightness output, OVLEW1CB9 (35000mcd) and LTW-2S3D8 (23000mcd) deliver increased luminous intensity.

All substitute parts maintain identical through-hole radial package geometry, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, and 20mA test current specification, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MV8W00 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed parts maintain identical package format (5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole radial), lens configuration (colorless clear domed), and test current (20mA). Direct mechanical substitution is supported. Circuit design verification for forward voltage and brightness requirements is necessary.

Q: What is the primary difference between substitute options?

A: Forward voltage ranges from 2.8V to 3.8V, and brightness output ranges from 2500mcd to 35000mcd. Viewing angle varies from 15° to 40°. Selection depends on circuit supply voltage, brightness requirements, and viewing angle specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All active substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The original MV8W00 (obsolete) does not specify RoHS status.

Q: Do substitute parts fit existing PCB layouts designed for MV8W00?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use identical T-1 3/4 through-hole radial package configuration with maximum heights between 8.70mm and 8.89mm, compatible with standard LED mounting holes and spacing.

Q: Which substitute offers the closest electrical match to MV8W00?

A: LTW-2R3D7 and SLX-LX5093UWC/C both operate at 3.4V forward voltage, closest to the original 3.8V specification. Both maintain 20mA test current and through-hole radial package compatibility.

Q: Can forward voltage differences affect circuit operation?

A: Forward voltage variation affects series resistor calculations and supply voltage requirements. Circuit design must accommodate the selected substitute's Vf specification to ensure proper LED operation and current limiting.
