Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the SSL-LX5093XSOC is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Forward voltage (Vf) must remain within 2V nominal specification to ensure circuit operation without redesign
• Test current of 20mA establishes the standard operating point

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Lens size must be 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor for PCB footprint alignment
• Through-hole mounting type with radial package configuration is mandatory
• Maximum height of 8.60mm accommodates standard PCB clearance requirements

Regulatory Compliance:

• ROHS3 compliance is required for all substitutes
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ensures compatibility with standard handling procedures

Application Parameters:

• Viewing angle and millicandela rating are application-dependent and may vary based on specific circuit requirements
• Color variation (orange to yellow) represents a functional change and is noted in the comparison table

The three substitute parts listed below meet the critical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters while offering variations in optical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Electrical Compatibility Assessment:

All substitute parts operate at 2V forward voltage with 20mA test current, matching the SSL-LX5093XSOC electrical specification. The WP1503YC (Kingbright) operates at 2.1V, representing a 5% increase in forward voltage. This variation is within typical LED tolerance ranges but requires circuit verification if the application operates at voltage limits.

Mechanical Compatibility Assessment:

OVLLY8C7 (TT Electronics) and WP1503YC (Kingbright) maintain the 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor with radial through-hole configuration. The 151051YS04000 (Würth) features a 4.90mm lens diameter, which may present minor mechanical fit variations in standard 5mm LED footprints. Height variations range from 6.80mm to 8.95mm; all remain within typical PCB clearance tolerances.

Regulatory Compliance:

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, matching the main part specification. All components are Active in product status with established supply chains.

Optical Performance Considerations:

The SSL-LX5093XSOC provides 2400mcd brightness with a 20° viewing angle in orange color. Substitute parts offer reduced brightness (50mcd to 980mcd) and wider viewing angles (30° to 100°), representing functional changes. Color shift from orange to yellow (wavelength 588nm-592nm versus 620nm) constitutes a visual change in indication appearance.

Inventory and Supply:

Kingbright WP1503YC offers the highest inventory availability (20690 Pcs), followed by TT Electronics OVLLY8C7 (9819 Pcs) and Würth Elektronik 151051YS04000 (2066 Pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 151051YS04000 (Würth) be used as a direct replacement for the SSL-LX5093XSOC?

A: The 151051YS04000 meets electrical (2V, 20mA) and regulatory (ROHS3, MSL 1) requirements. However, the 4.90mm lens diameter differs from the standard 5mm T-1 3/4 specification, and the diffused yellow lens represents both mechanical and optical changes. Mechanical fit in standard 5mm LED footprints requires verification.

Q: What is the impact of the 2.1V forward voltage on the WP1503YC (Kingbright)?

A: The WP1503YC operates at 2.1V versus the 2V specification of the SSL-LX5093XSOC. This 5% increase in forward voltage may affect circuit operation if the application operates near voltage limits or uses current-limiting resistors sized for 2V operation. Circuit analysis is required for applications with tight voltage tolerances.

Q: How do the optical characteristics differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The SSL-LX5093XSOC provides 2400mcd brightness with a narrow 20° viewing angle in orange (620nm). All substitutes are yellow LEDs (588nm-592nm) with reduced brightness (50mcd-980mcd) and wider viewing angles (30°-100°). These changes affect visual indication appearance and light distribution patterns.

Q: Are all substitute parts through-hole radial components?

A: Yes. All substitute parts feature through-hole mounting with radial lead configuration, matching the SSL-LX5093XSOC package type. This ensures compatibility with standard through-hole PCB assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute part offers the closest mechanical fit to the SSL-LX5093XSOC?

A: The OVLLY8C7 (TT Electronics) and WP1503YC (Kingbright) both maintain the 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor. The WP1503YC matches the 8.60mm maximum height exactly. The OVLLY8C7 is shorter at 6.80mm, which may provide additional PCB clearance in space-constrained applications.

Q: What is the difference between clear and diffused lens transparency?

A: Clear lenses provide focused, directional light output with sharp intensity patterns. Diffused lenses scatter light over a wider area, reducing peak brightness but improving visibility from off-axis angles. The SSL-LX5093XSOC uses a clear lens; the 151051YS04000 uses a diffused lens, affecting light distribution characteristics.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The SSL-LX5093XSOC and all three substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest viewing angle?

A: The OVLLY8C7 (TT Electronics) provides a 100° viewing angle, compared to the SSL-LX5093XSOC's 20° specification. This wider angle improves visibility from off-axis positions but reduces peak brightness intensity.
