SSL-LX5063GC Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SSL-LX5063GC is a green LED indicator light manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This T-1 3/4 (5mm) discrete LED operates at 2.2V forward voltage with a 100mcd brightness rating and 565nm peak wavelength. The component is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across alternative manufacturers while preserving the core function of green LED indication in T-1 3/4 form factor applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSL-LX5063GC is determined by strict adherence to the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Lens size must be T-1 3/4 (5mm diameter)
• Color must be green
• Mounting type must be through-hole radial configuration
• Forward voltage (Vf) must fall within 2.1V to 2.2V range
• Peak wavelength must be within 565nm to 575nm range
• Lens transparency must be clear (colorless)
• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating must be 1 (Unlimited)

Performance Tolerance Parameters:

• Millicandela rating: 60mcd to 980mcd (brightness variation acceptable based on application requirements)
• Viewing angle: 16° to 30° (directional characteristics may vary)
• Test current: 10mA to 20mA (operational current range)
• Height: 6.00mm to 8.70mm (mechanical envelope variation within T-1 3/4 standard)

All four substitute parts meet these mandatory criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the SSL-LX5063GC in standard green LED indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - LTL2P3KGKNN (Lite-On Inc.): This part maintains identical forward voltage (2.1V compatible range), test current (20mA), and mounting configuration. Peak wavelength of 575nm remains within green specification tolerance. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating match regulatory requirements. Higher millicandela rating (980mcd) provides increased brightness margin for applications requiring enhanced visibility. Inventory availability of 22,842 units supports production continuity.

Secondary Substitute - WP7113GC (Kingbright): Exact forward voltage match at 2.2V with identical test current of 20mA. Peak wavelength of 565nm provides precise color matching to original specification. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliance confirmed. Millicandela rating of 80mcd represents minor reduction from original 100mcd specification. Suitable for applications where brightness reduction is acceptable. Inventory of 2,278 units available.

Tertiary Substitute - LTL-4238 (Lite-On Inc.): Forward voltage of 2.1V falls within acceptable range. Peak wavelength of 565nm matches original specification precisely. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliance confirmed. Test current of 10mA represents reduced operating current compared to original 20mA specification. Millicandela rating of 90mcd provides adequate brightness. Highest inventory availability at 11,122 units. Suitable for applications with lower current budget requirements.

Quaternary Substitute - 5219201F (Dialight): Forward voltage of 2.1V within acceptable range. Peak wavelength of 565nm matches specification. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliance confirmed. Millicandela rating of 60mcd represents lowest brightness option. Designed as incandescent lamp replacement with midget flange base compatibility. Suitable for retrofit applications where reduced brightness is acceptable. Inventory of 1,075 units available.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance. Selection should be based on specific application requirements for brightness level, current consumption, and viewing angle characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LTL2P3KGKNN replace SSL-LX5063GC in all applications?

A: LTL2P3KGKNN is electrically and mechanically compatible with SSL-LX5063GC. Both operate at 2.1V-2.2V forward voltage range, use T-1 3/4 through-hole mounting, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is brightness: LTL2P3KGKNN provides 980mcd versus 100mcd in the original. This higher brightness is suitable for most applications; however, applications with specific brightness requirements or light-sensitive circuits may require evaluation.

Q: What is the significance of the 2.1V versus 2.2V forward voltage difference?

A: Both voltage levels fall within the acceptable operating range for green LED indicators. A 0.1V difference is typical manufacturing tolerance in LED specifications. Circuit designs using current-limiting resistors will accommodate this variation automatically. No circuit redesign is required for substitution between parts rated at 2.1V and 2.2V.

Q: Why do substitute parts have different heights (6.00mm to 8.70mm)?

A: All parts conform to the T-1 3/4 standard envelope specification. Height variation within this range is permitted by industry standards and does not affect PCB assembly compatibility. Through-hole mounting accommodates the full height range. Verify clearance in applications with height-constrained layouts.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts and the original SSL-LX5063GC carry ROHS3 compliance certification. All parts also maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard component practices.

Q: What viewing angle differences exist between substitute options?

A: Viewing angles range from 16° (LTL-4238) to 30° (SSL-LX5063GC). Narrower viewing angles concentrate light output in a more directional pattern; wider angles distribute light across a broader area. Selection depends on application requirements: narrow angles suit focused indicator applications; wider angles suit general visibility requirements. All angles are suitable for standard panel-mounted indicator light applications.

Q: Can I use 5219201F as a direct replacement for incandescent lamp retrofit applications?

A: Yes. 5219201F is specifically designed as an incandescent lamp replacement with midget flange base compatibility. It maintains T-1 3/4 form factor and green color specification. Lower millicandela rating (60mcd) may require brightness evaluation in retrofit applications previously using higher-output incandescent sources.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: LTL2P3KGKNN provides the highest inventory level at 22,842 units in stock, followed by LTL-4238 at 11,122 units. Both Lite-On parts offer strong supply continuity for production requirements.
