Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Dialight 5590202007F

The Dialight 5590202007F is the qualified substitute for the obsolete PM5GD5VW14.0. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Mechanical Compatibility: Identical panel cutout dimensions (0.25" / 6.35mm), lens size (5mm T-1 3/4), and wire lead length (14" / 355.60mm) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in existing panel assemblies.

2. Electrical Compatibility: Both components operate at 5V with compatible current characteristics. The substitute specifies 15mA operation, providing defined electrical parameters for circuit design.

3. Optical Compatibility: Both components feature diffused green lenses with peak wavelengths within the green spectrum (568nm vs. 565nm). The substitute provides a wider 60° viewing angle compared to the original 40° specification, which represents an operational improvement for visibility.

4. Brightness Consideration: The substitute provides 8mcd compared to the original 25mcd. This represents a reduction in brightness output. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where the original brightness specification was not critical to system function. For applications requiring the original 25mcd brightness level, alternative substitutes with higher millicandela ratings should be evaluated.

5. Product Status and Compliance: The substitute is an active product currently manufactured by Dialight, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute meets ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and regulatory requirements.

6. Moisture Sensitivity: Both components share MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating equivalent moisture handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5590202007F be used as a direct replacement for the PM5GD5VW14.0 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, the Dialight 5590202007F is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct panel mounting. The identical panel cutout dimensions (0.25" / 6.35mm), lens size (5mm T-1 3/4), and wire lead length (14" / 355.60mm) ensure compatibility with existing panel assemblies designed for the PM5GD5VW14.0.

Q: What is the brightness difference between these two components?

A: The PM5GD5VW14.0 provides 25mcd brightness, while the Dialight 5590202007F provides 8mcd brightness. This represents a reduction in light output. The substitute is appropriate for applications where the original brightness specification was not a critical design parameter. Applications requiring higher brightness should evaluate alternative green LED panel indicators with higher millicandela ratings.

Q: Are there differences in viewing angle between these components?

A: Yes. The PM5GD5VW14.0 has a 40° viewing angle, while the Dialight 5590202007F has a 60° viewing angle. The substitute provides a wider viewing angle, which improves visibility from off-axis positions. This represents an operational improvement for most panel indicator applications.

Q: Do both components meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: The Dialight 5590202007F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The PM5GD5VW14.0 product status information does not specify compliance certifications. The substitute's active product status ensures compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Q: What is the wavelength difference between these components?

A: The PM5GD5VW14.0 has a peak wavelength of 568nm, while the Dialight 5590202007F has a peak wavelength of 565nm. This 3nm variation is within the green spectrum and does not affect visual color perception or application compatibility.

Q: Are the electrical current requirements the same?

A: The PM5GD5VW14.0 does not specify a current rating. The Dialight 5590202007F specifies 15mA operation at 5V. This defined specification for the substitute allows for precise circuit design and current limiting calculations.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these components?

A: The PM5GD5VW14.0 packaging is listed as "-" (not specified). The Dialight 5590202007F is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both components feature identical wire lead termination (14" / 355.60mm), which is the relevant specification for panel assembly applications.
