Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PM5HDW6-CC are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 2V
• Maximum current: 30mA
• Wavelength - Peak: 625nm (red spectrum)
• Millicandela rating: 25mcd

Mechanical Parameters:

• Lens size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Panel cutout shape: Round
• Panel cutout dimensions: 0.25" (6.35mm)
• Termination style: Wire leads with 6" (152.40mm) length
• Lens style: Round with domed top
• Lens transparency: Diffused

Optical Parameters:

• Viewing angle: 45°
• Lamp color: Red
• Lens color: Red

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and can be substituted without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PM5HDW6.0-CC is a direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete PM5HDW6-CC. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and optical characteristics. The primary distinction is product status: PM5HDW6-CC is obsolete, while PM5HDW6.0-CC is active and currently in production.

The PM5HDW6.0-CC offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components. This compliance status makes it suitable for new designs and systems requiring adherence to modern regulatory frameworks.

For applications requiring the PM5HDW6-CC, the PM5HDW6.0-CC provides full functional and mechanical compatibility without requiring circuit modifications, panel redesign, or termination changes. The 6-inch wire lead length and 0.25-inch panel cutout dimensions remain identical, ensuring direct installation compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PM5HDW6.0-CC replace PM5HDW6-CC in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical ratings (2V, 30mA), mechanical dimensions (0.25" round cutout, 5mm lens), and optical characteristics (25mcd, 625nm, 45° viewing angle). The 6-inch wire leads and panel-mount configuration are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical modifications.

Q: What is the difference between PM5HDW6-CC and PM5HDW6.0-CC?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. PM5HDW6-CC is obsolete, while PM5HDW6.0-CC is active. PM5HDW6.0-CC carries ROHS3 compliance certification. All electrical, mechanical, and optical parameters are identical.

Q: Why is PM5HDW6-CC listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Bivar Inc. The PM5HDW6.0-CC serves as the active production equivalent and should be used for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: PM5HDW6-CC packaging is listed as unspecified. PM5HDW6.0-CC is supplied in bag packaging. This difference does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: What does the 6" specification refer to?

A: The 6" (152.40mm) specification refers to the length of the wire leads extending from the LED assembly. Both parts have identical lead lengths for consistent panel-mount installation.

Q: Is ROHS3 compliance important for my application?

A: ROHS3 compliance is required for products sold in the European Union and many other markets. If your application or end-market requires environmental compliance certification, PM5HDW6.0-CC meets this requirement while PM5HDW6-CC does not specify compliance status.
