Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PM5GDW6-CC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Forward voltage (Vf) of 2.1V and maximum current (If) of 30mA must be maintained to ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs and current-limiting resistor calculations.

Optical Parameters: Lamp color (green), lens transparency (diffused), lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), lens style (round with domed top), millicandela rating (25mcd), peak wavelength (568nm), and viewing angle (45°) must remain constant to preserve visual indication characteristics and panel appearance.

Mechanical Parameters: Panel cutout shape (round) and dimensions (0.25" / 6.35mm) must match to ensure physical fit within existing panel assemblies. Termination style (wire leads - 6" / 152.40mm) must be identical for direct connection compatibility.

Environmental Parameters: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited) establishes handling and storage requirements.

The substitute part PM5GDW6.0-CC meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: PM5GDW6.0-CC

The PM5GDW6.0-CC is the direct equivalent for PM5GDW6-CC applications. All electrical, optical, and mechanical parameters are identical.

Availability Consideration: PM5GDW6.0-CC is available in higher inventory (947 Pcs) compared to the main part (896 Pcs), supporting both immediate replacement needs and future procurement requirements.

Compliance Status: The substitute part's ROHS3 Compliant certification satisfies modern regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PM5GDW6.0-CC be used as a direct replacement for PM5GDW6-CC in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. All electrical ratings (2.1V, 30mA), optical characteristics (green diffused, 25mcd, 568nm, 45° viewing angle), mechanical dimensions (5mm lens, 0.25" panel cutout, 6-inch wire leads), and environmental specifications (MSL 1) are identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the difference between PM5GDW6-CC and PM5GDW6.0-CC?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. PM5GDW6-CC is obsolete, while PM5GDW6.0-CC is active. PM5GDW6.0-CC carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Functionally and electrically, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: PM5GDW6-CC packaging is listed as unspecified, while PM5GDW6.0-CC is supplied in Bag packaging. This does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Will PM5GDW6.0-CC fit the same panel cutout as PM5GDW6-CC?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical panel cutout specifications: round shape, 0.25" (6.35mm) diameter. Physical installation is identical.

Q: Are the wire lead lengths the same?

A: Yes. Both parts feature wire leads of 6" (152.40mm) length, ensuring identical termination and connection characteristics.

Q: Does PM5GDW6.0-CC meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. PM5GDW6.0-CC is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.
