PM5GD5VW6.0-CC LED Panel Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PM5GD5VW6.0-CC is a 5mm green diffused LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for 5V applications with wire lead termination. This component is classified as Obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

The PM5GD5VW6.0-CC serves as a visual status indicator in panel-mounted applications requiring a 5V green LED with diffused lens characteristics and 45° viewing angle. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility is necessary for system maintenance and new production builds.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PM5GD5VW6.0-CC is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Lamp Color: Green (565nm peak wavelength)
• Lens Transparency: Diffused
• Voltage Rating: 5V
• Panel Cutout Shape: Round
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.25" (6.35mm)
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Viewing Angle (45° vs. 60°)
• Millicandela Rating (25mcd vs. 8mcd)
• Wire Lead Length (6" vs. 14")
• Current Rating (not specified for main part vs. 15mA for substitute)
• Manufacturer (Bivar Inc. vs. Dialight)
• Product Status (Obsolete vs. Active)

The substitute part 5590202007F maintains all mandatory compatibility parameters while differing in viewing angle, brightness output, lead length, and current specification. These variations are acceptable in substitution scenarios where the application does not require the specific 45° viewing angle or 25mcd brightness of the original component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: Product Status

The PM5GD5VW6.0-CC is classified as Obsolete. The substitute part 5590202007F is classified as Active and manufactured by Dialight, a qualified alternative source for 5mm green diffused LED panel indicators.

Compliance and Certifications

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment. The substitute part 5590202007F carries RoHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, providing additional environmental compliance documentation.

Mechanical Compatibility

The substitute part maintains identical panel cutout dimensions (0.25" / 6.35mm round), lens size (5mm T-1 3/4), and lens style (round with domed top). Physical installation compatibility is confirmed.

Electrical Compatibility

Both parts operate at 5V. The substitute part specifies 15mA current rating, whereas the main part does not provide current specification. The substitute part's 60° viewing angle provides broader visibility compared to the main part's 45° angle. The substitute part's 8mcd brightness is lower than the main part's 25mcd rating.

Selection Criteria

Selection of the 5590202007F substitute is appropriate when:

• The application can accommodate 60° viewing angle instead of 45°
• The application can function with 8mcd brightness instead of 25mcd
• Wire lead length of 14" is acceptable or can be trimmed to 6"
• Active product status and ongoing availability are required

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5590202007F substitute be used as a direct replacement for the PM5GD5VW6.0-CC?

A: The 5590202007F maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility at the 5V operating level and panel cutout dimensions. However, differences exist in viewing angle (60° vs. 45°), brightness output (8mcd vs. 25mcd), and wire lead length (14" vs. 6"). Substitution is valid only if the application tolerates these parameter variations.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Viewing angle: 60° versus 45°, (2) Brightness: 8mcd versus 25mcd, (3) Wire lead length: 14" versus 6", (4) Manufacturer: Dialight versus Bivar Inc., (5) Product status: Active versus Obsolete. All other parameters including voltage, lens color, lens transparency, panel cutout dimensions, and lens size are identical.

Q: Is the lower brightness of the substitute part a concern?

A: The 5590202007F provides 8mcd brightness compared to the PM5GD5VW6.0-CC's 25mcd. This reduction may affect visibility in high-ambient-light environments. Application-specific lighting requirements must be evaluated before substitution.

Q: Can the 14" wire leads of the substitute be shortened to 6"?

A: Wire leads can be trimmed to required length. However, this modification must be performed according to component handling and soldering standards to maintain electrical integrity and reliability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The substitute part 5590202007F provides documented RoHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, offering additional environmental compliance documentation compared to the main part.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The PM5GD5VW6.0-CC (Obsolete) has 751 pieces in stock. The 5590202007F (Active) has 1703 pieces in stock, providing greater long-term availability assurance.
