Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SMLP12BC7TT86 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and Wavelength: Blue 470nm dominant wavelength is the primary functional requirement
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Operating voltage must be compatible with circuit design (2.9V nominal)
• Current - Test: Standard test current of 5mA establishes baseline performance
• Lens Characteristics: Colorless, clear lens maintains optical properties
• Package / Case: 0402 (1006 Metric) surface mount form factor ensures PCB compatibility
• Mounting Type: Surface mount technology for automated assembly
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required for regulatory adherence

The substitute part 16-213/BHC-ZL1M2QY/3T from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for blue LED indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 16-213/BHC-ZL1M2QY/3T from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd is a functionally equivalent substitute for the obsolete SMLP12BC7TT86. Both devices share identical color, dominant wavelength, test current, and lens characteristics. Forward voltage differs by 0.05V (2.9V vs 2.95V), which is within typical circuit tolerance margins for LED indicator applications. The substitute part provides 20mcd luminous intensity compared to 17mcd, offering improved brightness performance.

Physical dimensions are comparable with minor variations: the Everlight part is 0.10mm narrower and 0.30mm taller. Both are 0402-class surface mount packages suitable for standard PCB assembly processes. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 16-213/BHC-ZL1M2QY/3T directly replace the SMLP12BC7TT86 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same dominant wavelength (470nm blue), identical test current (5mA), colorless clear lens, and surface mount 0402 form factor. Forward voltage differs by 0.05V, which is acceptable for standard LED indicator circuits. The substitute part's increased brightness (20mcd vs 17mcd) is beneficial for visibility.

Q: What are the physical compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts are 0402-class surface mount packages with compatible footprints. The Everlight part is 0.10mm narrower (1.00mm x 0.50mm vs 1.00mm x 0.60mm) and 0.30mm taller (0.55mm vs 0.25mm). These dimensional differences do not affect PCB assembly compatibility or standard reflow soldering processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The original SMLP12BC7TT86 is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the substitute part was not provided in available documentation. Both parts carry the same HTSUS code (8541.41.0000) and ECCN classification (EAR99).

Q: Why is the substitute part brighter?

A: The 16-213/BHC-ZL1M2QY/3T provides 20mcd luminous intensity versus 17mcd for the original part. This increased brightness results from Everlight's LED design and is advantageous for indicator applications requiring enhanced visibility.

Q: What is the viewing angle difference?

A: The substitute part specifies a 120° viewing angle. The original part's viewing angle was not documented. For standard LED indicator applications, a 120° viewing angle provides adequate light distribution for typical circuit board mounting positions.
