Part Overview

The SCS8VT93HPL2VKS03F is a surface-mount LED lighting component from Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., classified within the LM102A series. This warm white 3000K LED operates at 5.9V forward voltage with a 150mA test current, delivering 103 lumens at 85°C. The component features a 145° viewing angle and is housed in a 0505 (1313 Metric) package measuring 1.34mm × 1.34mm.

The product status is listed as Obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when the original part number reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion occurs, or supply chain disruptions affect availability. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility, mechanical fit, and optical performance within acceptable engineering tolerances.

The substitute part SCS7VT93HPL2VLS03F meets these criteria with documented electrical and optical specifications within acceptable engineering tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: SCS7VT93HPL2VLS03F

The SCS7VT93HPL2VLS03F is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the SCS8VT93HPL2VKS03F. Both components are manufactured by Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., within the LM102A series, and share identical electrical specifications including forward voltage (5.9V), test current (150mA), and maximum current rating (250mA).

Optical Performance: The substitute part delivers 111 lumens at 85°C test conditions, compared to 103 lumens for the main part. This represents a 7.8% increase in luminous flux output and improved efficiency at 125 lm/W versus 116 lm/W. The substitute includes 5-Step MacAdam Ellipse color binning, providing tighter color temperature tolerance around the 3000K specification.

Color Rendering Index (CRI): The substitute part specifies a CRI of 70, compared to 80 for the main part. This 10-point reduction in CRI indicates a slight decrease in color rendering capability. Applications requiring high color fidelity should evaluate this difference against specific design requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts utilize the 0505 (1313 Metric) surface-mount package with identical 1.34mm × 1.34mm footprints. The substitute part has a maximum seated height of 0.42mm, compared to 0.52mm for the main part, providing additional clearance margin in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components are RoHS Compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 2A (4 Weeks). Both parts are classified as Obsolete, indicating that long-term availability through standard distribution channels is limited.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, whereas the main part packaging format is not specified. This difference affects handling and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or optical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can SCS7VT93HPL2VLS03F be used as a direct replacement for SCS8VT93HPL2VKS03F in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (5.9V forward voltage, 150mA test current, 250mA maximum current), identical package dimensions (0505 / 1313 Metric, 1.34mm × 1.34mm), and identical viewing angle (145°). The substitute part has a lower maximum seated height (0.42mm vs. 0.52mm), which provides additional clearance. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q2: What is the difference in color rendering between these two parts?

A: The main part (SCS8VT93HPL2VKS03F) specifies CRI 80, while the substitute (SCS7VT93HPL2VLS03F) specifies CRI 70. CRI measures how accurately a light source renders colors compared to a reference standard. A CRI of 80 is considered "good" for general lighting applications, while CRI 70 is acceptable for many commercial and industrial applications. Applications requiring high color fidelity (retail, photography, art display) should evaluate this 10-point difference against specific requirements.

Q3: Does the substitute part have better luminous output?

A: Yes. The substitute part delivers 111 lumens at 85°C test conditions, compared to 103 lumens for the main part. This represents a 7.8% increase in luminous flux. The substitute also demonstrates improved efficiency at 125 lm/W versus 116 lm/W. For applications where brightness is a design parameter, this increase should be verified against circuit current limiting and thermal management specifications.

Q4: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. The main part packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Cut Tape packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly. If the original part was supplied in different packaging (tube, reel, or bulk), procurement and assembly processes may require adjustment.

Q5: What does the "5-Step MacAdam Ellipse" specification on the substitute part mean?

A: MacAdam Ellipse is a measure of color tolerance around a target color point. The 5-Step specification indicates tighter binning of the 3000K color temperature, meaning the substitute part has more consistent color output across the production batch. This provides better color uniformity in multi-LED applications compared to parts without MacAdam Ellipse binning.

Q6: Are both parts still available for purchase?

A: Both components are classified as Obsolete. The main part (SCS8VT93HPL2VKS03F) shows 949 pieces in stock, while the substitute (SCS7VT93HPL2VLS03F) shows 26,659 pieces in stock. Availability through standard distribution channels is limited and subject to existing inventory. Long-term sourcing should consider alternative current-production LED components.

Q7: Do these parts have identical thermal characteristics?

A: Yes. Both components specify a thermal resistance of 2°C/W. Thermal management design calculations and heat dissipation requirements are identical for both parts. The substitute part's lower maximum seated height (0.42mm vs. 0.52mm) may provide marginal improvements in PCB-to-ambient thermal coupling, but this difference is negligible for most applications.

Q8: Are there any compliance or environmental differences?

A: No. Both components are RoHS Compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 2A (4 Weeks). Storage, handling, and reflow soldering requirements are identical. Both parts are classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) codes.
