SSA-LXB10IW LED Circuit Board Indicator Bar - 10 Segment Red

Part Overview

The SSA-LXB10IW is an active LED Circuit Board Indicator manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. This component is a 10-segment red LED bar array configured as a DIP package for through-hole mounting applications. The part features a diffused white lens, operates at 2V with 30mA current per segment, and delivers 12mcd brightness at a 635nm peak wavelength. With 1010 units in current stock and ROHS3 compliance, this part is suitable for visual indication applications requiring multi-segment LED arrays. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, specific lens appearance requirements, or brightness level adjustments while maintaining core electrical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SSA-LXB10IW is permissible with SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP based on the following strictly defined parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters (Must Be Identical):

• Configuration: Bar - 10 Wide, DIP
• Color: Red (x 10)
• Wavelength - Peak: 635nm
• Voltage Rating: 2V
• Current: 30mA
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Base Product Number: SSA-LXB10

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Millicandela Rating: 12mcd (main) vs. 8mcd (substitute) - brightness reduction acceptable for applications not requiring maximum luminosity
• Lens Type: Diffused, White (main) vs. Diffused, Tinted (substitute) - both diffused optics with different color tints
• Lens Style: Not specified (main) vs. Rectangle with Flat Top (substitute) - physical form factor difference
• Lens Size: Not specified (main) vs. 5.08mm x 1.74mm (substitute) - dimensional specification provided only for substitute

Compliance Equivalence:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (both parts)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (both parts)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (both parts)

The substitute part maintains electrical and functional compatibility while offering reduced brightness output and alternative lens appearance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (SSA-LXB10IW): Select the SSA-LXB10IW when maximum brightness output of 12mcd is required for the application. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications. Current inventory of 1010 units supports immediate availability for production deployment.

Substitute Part Selection (SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP): Select SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP when brightness reduction to 8mcd is acceptable and lens appearance with tinted diffusion is preferred. This substitute maintains identical electrical parameters (2V, 30mA, 635nm wavelength) and mounting compatibility. The substitute is also ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Higher inventory availability (1586 units) may support extended production runs. The Rectangle with Flat Top lens style (5.08mm x 1.74mm) provides alternative visual presentation while maintaining 160° viewing angle.

Regulatory and Compliance Basis: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and are REACH unaffected, making either suitable for applications subject to these regulatory frameworks. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP be used as a direct replacement for SSA-LXB10IW in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes, SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP is electrically compatible as a direct replacement. Both parts operate at 2V, 30mA per segment, and feature identical DIP Bar - 10 Wide configuration for through-hole mounting. The primary difference is reduced brightness (8mcd vs. 12mcd) and alternative lens appearance (tinted diffusion vs. white diffusion). Circuit designs do not require modification.

Q: What is the impact of the 4mcd brightness difference between these parts?

A: The SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP delivers 33% lower brightness output (8mcd) compared to the SSA-LXB10IW (12mcd). Applications requiring maximum visibility or operation in high ambient light conditions should retain the primary part. Applications with adequate ambient lighting or non-critical visibility requirements can accommodate the substitute without functional impact.

Q: Are the lens style and size differences significant for PCB layout?

A: The SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP specifies Rectangle with Flat Top lens style at 5.08mm x 1.74mm. The main part does not specify lens style or size. Both parts maintain identical DIP configuration and through-hole mounting footprint, so PCB layout compatibility is preserved. Lens appearance differences are visual only and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSA-LXB10IW and SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Either part satisfies regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select based on brightness requirement. If 12mcd brightness is necessary, use SSA-LXB10IW. If 8mcd is sufficient, SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP offers higher inventory availability (1586 units vs. 1010 units) and may provide supply chain advantages. Both parts are active products with equivalent regulatory standing.

Q: Is the 160° viewing angle identical for both parts?

A: Yes. Both SSA-LXB10IW and SSA-LXB10IW-GF/LP specify 160° viewing angle, ensuring equivalent visibility range regardless of which part is selected.
