• Lens Size: 7.00mm x 2.40mm
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Height (Max): 7.70mm
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Varying Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 2.1V (substitute) vs 2.2V (main part)
• Wavelength - Peak: 568nm (substitute) vs 555nm (main part)
• Millicandela Rating: 8mcd (substitute) vs 2mcd (main part)
• Product Status: Active (substitute) vs Obsolete (main part)

The R7GD maintains physical, mechanical, and electrical compatibility within the specified parameter tolerances for green diffused LED indicator applications in through-hole mounting configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The R7GD is suitable as a direct substitute for the R7PGD in new designs and replacement applications. The primary advantage of selecting the R7GD is its Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing continuity compared to the Obsolete R7PGD.

The forward voltage differential of 0.1V between the two parts is within typical LED circuit design tolerances. Both components maintain identical physical dimensions, lens configurations, and moisture sensitivity ratings, allowing for drop-in replacement in through-hole PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the R7GD replace the R7PGD in existing designs? A: Yes. The R7GD maintains identical physical dimensions (7.00mm x 2.40mm lens, 7.70mm height), mounting type (through-hole radial), lens characteristics (diffused green), and viewing angle (120°). The 0.1V forward voltage difference (2.1V vs 2.2V) is accommodated in standard LED indicator circuit designs.

Q: What is the difference in light output between these parts? A: The R7GD provides 8mcd compared to the R7PGD's 2mcd brightness rating. This increased luminous intensity does not prevent substitution and may provide improved visibility in the target application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between R7PGD and R7GD? A: Both components use radial through-hole packaging with identical physical dimensions. The primary difference is product status: R7PGD is obsolete while R7GD is active in production, ensuring supply chain reliability.

Q: What wavelength difference exists between these LEDs? A: The R7GD operates at 568nm peak wavelength compared to the R7PGD's 555nm. Both wavelengths fall within the green spectral range and maintain compatible color performance for indicator applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant? A: The R7GD is ROHS3 compliant. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8541.41.0000.
