QL332HC LED Red Clear 5MM T-1 3/4 Through Hole Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The QL332HC is a red LED indicator in a 5MM T-1 3/4 through-hole package manufactured by onsemi. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The through-hole radial configuration and 5MM form factor are standard for LED indication applications requiring discrete component placement on PCBs with traditional mounting methods.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the QL332HC is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole (radial configuration required)
• Package / Case: Radial
• Supplier Device Package: T-1 3/4 (5mm form factor)
• Height (Max): 8.60mm (mechanical fit requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications (regulatory alignment)

The SSL-LX5093HT from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. meets all these mechanical and regulatory parameters, making it a valid substitute for the obsolete QL332HC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSL-LX5093HT is the qualified substitute for the QL332HC based on the following factors:

• Mechanical compatibility: Identical T-1 3/4 (5mm) through-hole radial package with matching 8.60mm maximum height ensures direct PCB fit without layout modifications.
• Regulatory alignment: Both parts share EAR99 ECCN and 8541.41.0000 HTSUS classifications, maintaining supply chain compliance.
• Moisture handling: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating equivalent moisture sensitivity performance.
• Product availability: The SSL-LX5093HT is in active production status with 1610 pieces in stock, providing supply continuity for the obsolete QL332HC.
• Compliance upgrade: The SSL-LX5093HT achieves ROHS3 compliance, offering an environmental advantage over the non-compliant QL332HC for new designs or updated production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SSL-LX5093HT be used as a direct replacement for the QL332HC without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts use the T-1 3/4 (5mm) through-hole radial package with identical 8.60mm maximum height, enabling direct substitution without layout changes.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (QL332HC is obsolete; SSL-LX5093HT is active) and RoHS compliance (QL332HC is non-compliant; SSL-LX5093HT is ROHS3 compliant). Mechanical and regulatory parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences I should consider?

A: Electrical specifications for the QL332HC were not provided in the available data. The SSL-LX5093HT is specified at 2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 25mcd brightness, and 700nm peak wavelength. Verify these electrical characteristics against your circuit requirements before implementation.

Q: Does the SSL-LX5093HT meet the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating equivalent moisture sensitivity performance and storage requirements.

Q: Are there supply chain or regulatory concerns with this substitution?

A: No. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications, and both are REACH Unaffected, ensuring regulatory alignment across supply chains.
