Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PM5R3-BCW6.0 are identified through parametric equivalence matching. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Electrical Parameters:

• Forward voltage: 2.1V (Green), 2V (Red)
• Maximum current: 30mA (Green), 30mA (Red)
• Wavelength specifications: 568nm (Green), 625nm (Red)
• Luminous intensity: 35mcd (Green), 35mcd (Red)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Panel cutout shape and dimensions: Round, 0.25" (6.35mm)
• Lens size and style: 5mm T-1 3/4, Round with Domed Top
• Termination: Wire Leads - 6" (152.40mm)
• Lens color and transparency: White, Diffused

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance requirement
• MSL 1 rating
• ECCN and HTSUS classification

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. Both parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements and carry EAR99 export classification. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions for both variants.

Current inventory status shows PM53-BCW6.0 at 1096 pieces and PM5R3-BCW6.0 at 851 pieces, both available as new original stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PM53-BCW6.0 be used as a direct replacement for PM5R3-BCW6.0?

A: Yes. The PM53-BCW6.0 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings (2.1V/30mA Green, 2V/30mA Red), mechanical dimensions (0.25" round cutout, 5mm T-1 3/4 lens), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). No circuit modifications or panel redesign are required.

Q: Are there any differences in performance between these two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts share identical specifications for forward voltage, current rating, wavelength (568nm Green, 625nm Red), luminous intensity (35mcd each color), viewing angle (40°), and lens characteristics (white diffused, round domed top).

Q: Do both parts use the same wire lead length?

A: Yes. Both PM5R3-BCW6.0 and PM53-BCW6.0 feature 6-inch (152.40mm) wire leads for termination.

Q: What is the difference between the PM5R3 and PM53 series designations?

A: The series designation difference reflects internal Bivar Inc. product line organization. Both series maintain identical parametric specifications for this dual-color panel indicator configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both PM5R3-BCW6.0 and PM53-BCW6.0 carry ROHS3 Compliant status with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring export compliance?

A: Both parts carry ECCN EAR99 classification and HTSUS code 8541.41.0000, indicating standard commercial export treatment.
