SSL-LX5093GC Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SSL-LX5093GC is a green LED indicator lamp manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This T-1 3/4 (5mm) radial LED operates at 2.2V forward voltage with a 50mcd 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 different manufacturers while preserving the core functional requirements of green LED indication in T-1 3/4 form factor applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSL-LX5093GC is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Matching Requirements:

• Color must be Green
• Form factor must be T-1 3/4 (5mm) with clear colorless lens
• Mounting configuration must be Through Hole Radial
• RoHS3 compliance mandatory
• MSL rating must be 1 (Unlimited)

High-Tolerance Parameters:

• Forward voltage (Vf) must be within 2.1V to 2.2V range
• Maximum height must not exceed 8.70mm to ensure PCB compatibility
• Current test rating at 20mA or lower

Application-Dependent Parameters:

• Millicandela rating: 50mcd minimum acceptable; higher ratings (60mcd, 80mcd, 90mcd, 680mcd, 980mcd) are acceptable for increased brightness applications
• Viewing angle: 16° to 30° range accommodates different optical requirements
• Peak wavelength: 565nm to 575nm range maintains green color consistency

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria across manufacturers Lite-On Inc., Dialight, and Kingbright.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

LTL2R3KGKNN (Lite-On) and WP7113GC (Kingbright) provide the closest electrical and mechanical match to SSL-LX5093GC. Both maintain 2.1V-2.2V forward voltage range, 20mA test current, 30° viewing angle, and 8.60mm maximum height. These parts preserve the optical characteristics and circuit compatibility of the original specification.

Compatible Alternatives (Application-Dependent):

LTL-4238 (Lite-On) operates at reduced test current (10mA) with higher brightness (90mcd) and narrower viewing angle (16°). This part is suitable for applications where lower current draw is beneficial and optical beam concentration is acceptable.

LTL2P3KGKNN (Lite-On) provides significantly higher brightness (980mcd) with moderate viewing angle (22°) and slightly increased height (8.70mm). Selection of this part requires verification that increased brightness does not cause optical interference and that PCB clearance accommodates the additional 0.10mm height.

5219201F (Dialight) features midget flange base mounting rather than radial through-hole configuration. This part is suitable only for applications specifically designed for lamp replacement in midget flange sockets and is not recommended for direct PCB through-hole substitution.

Regulatory Compliance:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions. LTL2R3KGKNN carries REACH Affected status; verify organizational REACH compliance requirements before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LTL2P3KGKNN replace SSL-LX5093GC in all applications?

A: LTL2P3KGKNN is electrically compatible but differs in brightness (980mcd vs. 50mcd), viewing angle (22° vs. 30°), and height (8.70mm vs. 8.60mm). Substitution is valid only when increased brightness is acceptable and PCB clearance accommodates the additional height. Applications requiring specific brightness levels or wide viewing angles should use LTL2R3KGKNN instead.

Q: What is the difference between radial and midget flange base mounting?

A: Radial mounting uses two leads extending from the LED body for insertion into PCB through-holes. Midget flange base mounting uses a threaded or flanged base for panel mounting. The 5219201F (Dialight) uses midget flange base and cannot be directly substituted into PCB through-hole designs without mechanical adapter hardware.

Q: Are there brightness differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. SSL-LX5093GC operates at 50mcd. Substitute parts range from 60mcd (5219201F) to 980mcd (LTL2P3KGKNN). Higher brightness parts are suitable for applications requiring increased visibility; lower brightness parts are not recommended as they fall below the original specification.

Q: Does forward voltage variation affect circuit design?

A: SSL-LX5093GC operates at 2.2V typical. Substitute parts operate at 2.1V typical, representing a 0.1V reduction. This variation is within standard LED tolerance and does not require circuit redesign for typical current-limiting resistor applications. Verify that existing series resistor values accommodate the voltage range 2.1V to 2.2V.

Q: Which substitute part has the closest optical characteristics to the original?

A: LTL2R3KGKNN provides the closest match with identical 30° viewing angle, matching 565nm-575nm wavelength range, and equivalent 8.70mm maximum height. This part is recommended for direct substitution when Lite-On sourcing is preferred.

Q: Is WP7113GC suitable for all SSL-LX5093GC applications?

A: WP7113GC (Kingbright) is suitable for most applications. It matches forward voltage (2.2V), test current (20mA), and height (8.60mm). The primary difference is narrower viewing angle (20° vs. 30°), which may limit optical distribution in wide-angle indicator applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. REACH status varies: SSL-LX5093GC, WP7113GC, and 5219201F are REACH Unaffected; LTL2R3KGKNN is REACH Affected. Verify organizational REACH compliance requirements before final part selection.
