Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSA-LXB525GD-10 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Configuration: Bar - 5 Wide, SIP
• Lens Size: 5.30mm x 1.80mm
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top

Optical Compatibility:

• Color: Green (x 5)
• Wavelength - Peak: 565nm
• Viewing Angle: 110°

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage Rating: 2.2V
• Current Rating: 20mA (primary specification)
• Millicandela Rating: 5mcd (primary specification)

The substitute part SSA-LXB525GD shares the same base product number (SSA-LXB525), mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, optical wavelength, and voltage rating. Variations in current rating (25mA vs. 20mA) and millicandela rating (10mcd vs. 5mcd) represent enhanced electrical performance characteristics within the same physical and functional envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSA-LXB525GD-10 and SSA-LXB525GD are active products manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Select SSA-LXB525GD-10 when:

• Design specifications require exactly 20mA current rating
• Design specifications require exactly 5mcd brightness output
• Standard packaging format is required

Select SSA-LXB525GD when:

• Design specifications allow up to 25mA current rating
• Design specifications allow up to 10mcd brightness output
• Bulk packaging format is acceptable
• Higher inventory availability is a consideration
• Cost optimization through bulk packaging is a factor

Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, voltage rating, wavelength, and viewing angle. The substitute part delivers enhanced electrical performance with higher current capacity and brightness output while maintaining the same physical footprint and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSA-LXB525GD be used as a direct replacement for SSA-LXB525GD-10?

A: SSA-LXB525GD is mechanically and electrically compatible with SSA-LXB525GD-10 for through-hole PCB mounting. Both parts share identical lens dimensions (5.30mm x 1.80mm), configuration (Bar - 5 Wide, SIP), voltage rating (2.2V), wavelength (565nm), and viewing angle (110°). The substitute part operates at higher current (25mA vs. 20mA) and brightness (10mcd vs. 5mcd). Substitution is valid when circuit design accommodates these enhanced electrical characteristics.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating (20mA vs. 25mA), millicandela rating (5mcd vs. 10mcd), lens tint specification (Green vs. Tinted), and packaging format (Standard vs. Bulk). All other parameters including mechanical dimensions, mounting type, voltage rating, wavelength, and viewing angle are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSA-LXB525GD-10 and SSA-LXB525GD are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the significance of the lens tint difference?

A: SSA-LXB525GD-10 specifies "Diffused, Green" lens type while SSA-LXB525GD specifies "Diffused, Tinted" lens type. Both maintain the same 565nm peak wavelength and 110° viewing angle. The tint variation affects light transmission characteristics and visual appearance but does not alter the fundamental optical wavelength specification.

Q: Can I use SSA-LXB525GD in a circuit designed for 20mA operation?

A: SSA-LXB525GD is rated for 25mA maximum current. Operating it at 20mA is within its electrical specification and is therefore valid. The part will function correctly at the lower current rating.

Q: What is the difference between standard and bulk packaging?

A: SSA-LXB525GD-10 is supplied in standard packaging format with 710 units in stock. SSA-LXB525GD is supplied in bulk packaging format with 3606 units in stock. Bulk packaging typically offers cost advantages for high-volume procurement while maintaining identical component specifications.
