SML-010DTT87 Orange LED 3020 SMD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SML-010DTT87 is a surface-mount orange LED in 3020 metric package (1208) manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor. This part is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating it has reached end-of-life status. The device features a 10mcd brightness rating with 2V forward voltage and 610nm peak wavelength, designed for standard LED indication applications in compact form factors.

Due to its discontinued status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing production support, maintenance applications, and design transitions to active alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SML-010DTT87 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package compatibility: 1208 (3020 Metric) form factor with identical 3.00mm L x 2.00mm W x 1.50mm H dimensions
• Color and wavelength: Orange LED with peak wavelength in the 605–610nm range
• Electrical characteristics: Forward voltage (Vf) tolerance of ±0.2V around 2V nominal and 20mA test current
• Lens properties: Clear, colorless lens with rectangle flat-top style
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Mounting: Surface mount configuration

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on their relationship to the main part:

1. Direct Manufacturer Equivalent: Same base functionality with different packaging or minor specification variations
2. Similar Parametric Equivalent: Same package and form factor with enhanced performance characteristics
3. Parametric Equivalent: Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with different packaging format

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SML-010DTT86 is the primary parametric equivalent for direct replacement. It maintains identical electrical specifications (2V Vf, 10mcd, 610nm peak wavelength) and mechanical dimensions while offering improved availability (17,800 pcs in stock versus 3,100 pcs for the main part). The only difference is packaging format: Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel (TR). Both formats are ROHS3 compliant with identical MSL ratings. This part is suitable for applications requiring exact electrical and optical performance matching.

SML-012D8TT86 is a performance-enhanced alternative within the same package family. It provides 16× higher brightness (160mcd versus 10mcd) and operates at 2.2V forward voltage with improved MSL rating (2 versus 3). The wavelength shift from 610nm to 605nm remains within the orange LED spectrum. This part is appropriate for applications where increased luminous intensity is beneficial or where the higher MSL rating provides manufacturing advantages.

S7L-010DTT87L is listed as a direct manufacturer equivalent but lacks detailed specification data. Selection of this part requires confirmation of complete electrical and optical parameters against application requirements.

All three substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity with the original SML-010DTT87.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SML-010DTT86 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for SML-010DTT87?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2V Vf, 10mcd, 610nm), optical properties (clear orange lens), and mechanical dimensions (3.00mm × 2.00mm × 1.50mm). The difference in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) does not affect circuit-level compatibility. Verify that your assembly equipment can accommodate the alternative packaging format.

Q: What is the brightness difference between SML-010DTT87 and SML-012D8TT86?

A: SML-012D8TT86 provides 160mcd compared to 10mcd for SML-010DTT87, representing a 16-fold increase in luminous intensity. This makes SML-012D8TT86 suitable for applications requiring higher visibility. The forward voltage increases from 2V to 2.2V, which must be accommodated in circuit design.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SML-010DTT86, SML-012D8TT86, and S7L-010DTT87L are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original SML-010DTT87.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is continuous reel packaging for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides smaller quantities on cut tape segments with optional reel format. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in supply format and handling for assembly equipment.

Q: Does the MSL rating difference between SML-010DTT86 (MSL 3) and SML-012D8TT86 (MSL 2) affect substitution?

A: MSL ratings indicate moisture sensitivity during storage and handling. MSL 2 (1 Year) provides longer shelf life than MSL 3 (168 Hours). If your manufacturing process includes extended storage periods or high-humidity environments, SML-012D8TT86 offers better protection. For standard manufacturing environments with proper moisture control, both ratings are acceptable.

Q: Can SML-012D8TT86 be used in applications designed for 10mcd brightness?

A: SML-012D8TT86 can be used, but the 16× higher brightness may cause visual or functional issues if the application circuit or optical design assumes 10mcd output. Verify that increased brightness does not create glare, false triggering of light sensors, or other unintended effects in your specific application.

Q: What should I verify before selecting a substitute part?

A: Confirm the following parameters match your application requirements: forward voltage (Vf) tolerance, brightness level (mcd), wavelength range (nm), package dimensions, and mounting compatibility. Verify that your assembly equipment supports the packaging format. Confirm compliance requirements (ROHS, REACH) match your regulatory obligations.
