SLA560BCT3F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLA560BCT3F is a blue LED indication component manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor, featuring a 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole radial package with 600mcd brightness at 470nm wavelength. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across electrical characteristics, mechanical form factor, and mounting specifications to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SLA560BCT3F are evaluated based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Blue
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package Type: Radial
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Current - Test: 20mA
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Secondary Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Range 3.2V to 3.8V acceptable
• Wavelength - Dominant: 470nm preferred
• Millicandela Rating: 440mcd to 630mcd acceptable

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with active product status and full compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CMD383UBC/H2 (Visual Communications Company): This substitute maintains the closest electrical and mechanical alignment with the SLA560BCT3F. Forward voltage of 3.8V represents a 0.5V variance from the original specification. Brightness output at 630mcd exceeds the original 600mcd rating. Height variance of 0.91mm and reduced viewing angle of 30° versus 40° require circuit board layout verification. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance ensure long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

OVLLB8C7 (TT Electronics/Optek Technology): This substitute offers the closest forward voltage match at 3.2V, representing only 0.1V variance from the original specification. Dominant wavelength matches at 470nm. Brightness output at 440mcd is 27% lower than the original 600mcd specification. Significantly wider viewing angle of 85° versus 40° and reduced height of 6.80mm versus 7.70mm may affect optical performance in directional indication applications. Flat lens top differs from domed top of original. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed.

Both substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CMD383UBC/H2 be used as a direct replacement for SLA560BCT3F?

A: CMD383UBC/H2 is mechanically and electrically compatible for most applications. The 3.8V forward voltage requires verification that existing current-limiting resistor values remain appropriate. Height difference of 0.91mm and viewing angle reduction from 40° to 30° must be evaluated for specific circuit board layout and optical requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute options?

A: CMD383UBC/H2 prioritizes brightness output (630mcd) with slightly elevated forward voltage (3.8V). OVLLB8C7 prioritizes forward voltage accuracy (3.2V) and viewing angle (85°) but delivers lower brightness (440mcd). Selection depends on whether the application prioritizes luminous intensity or voltage regulation characteristics.

Q: Are both substitutes compatible with the original through-hole radial package footprint?

A: Both substitutes use identical 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole radial packages. However, height variations (CMD383UBC/H2 at 8.61mm and OVLLB8C7 at 6.80mm versus original 7.70mm) may affect clearance in confined spaces. Physical verification is required for applications with height constraints.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain RoHS and REACH compliance?

A: Both CMD383UBC/H2 and OVLLB8C7 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the original SLA560BCT3F certifications.

Q: What viewing angle differences should I consider?

A: The original SLA560BCT3F has a 40° viewing angle. CMD383UBC/H2 reduces this to 30°, creating a more directional indication. OVLLB8C7 expands to 85°, providing wider visibility. Application requirements for indication directionality determine which substitute is appropriate.
