SSL-LX5099IGW-02 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSL-LX5099IGW-02 is an active dual-color LED indicator manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. This through-hole component features independent green and red LEDs in a diffused 5mm T-1 3/4 package with white lens coloring. The device is designed for discrete LED indication applications requiring simultaneous or alternating color display capability. With 1078 units in current stock and active product status, this component remains available for new designs and production applications. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSL-LX5099IGW-02 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Forward voltage matching: 2.2V Green and 2V Red
• Test current specification: 20mA for both colors
• Viewing angle: 60°

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package type: T-1 3/4 through-hole radial configuration
• Lens size: 5mm diameter
• Lens style: Diffused, round with domed top
• Physical height: 8.60mm maximum
• Lens color: White

Regulatory & Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• ECCN classification: EAR99

The XLUGR59M from SunLED meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is configuration type (Common Cathode versus Independent) and millicandela ratings, which do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the independent configuration is not a circuit-level requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (SSL-LX5099IGW-02): Select the SSL-LX5099IGW-02 when independent LED control is required at the component level. This configuration allows each color to be driven separately without shared cathode constraints. The part maintains active product status with established supply availability (1078 units in stock). Full RoHS3 and REACH compliance supports regulatory requirements for consumer and industrial applications.

Substitute Selection (XLUGR59M): The XLUGR59M qualifies as a functional substitute when circuit design accommodates common cathode configuration. This SunLED alternative provides higher green millicandela output (59mcd versus 45mcd) and maintains identical electrical operating parameters (2.2V/2V forward voltage, 20mA test current). The substitute offers superior inventory availability (4526 units in stock) and identical mechanical fit within 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole applications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting equivalent regulatory positioning.

Circuit-Level Consideration: Substitution requires verification that the application circuit supports common cathode topology. Independent configuration cannot be directly replaced by common cathode configuration in circuits designed for separate LED control without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XLUGR59M replace SSL-LX5099IGW-02 in any application?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. Substitution is valid only when the application circuit supports common cathode configuration. If the original design requires independent LED control, circuit modification is necessary.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are LED configuration (Independent versus Common Cathode) and millicandela ratings. Electrical parameters (forward voltage, test current, viewing angle) and mechanical specifications (package, lens size, height) are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSL-LX5099IGW-02 and XLUGR59M are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

Q: Does the higher millicandela rating of XLUGR59M affect compatibility?

A: Higher brightness (59mcd green, 39mcd red) does not prevent substitution from an electrical standpoint. Circuit design must accommodate the increased light output. Red wavelength differs slightly (627nm peak versus 635nm), which may be perceptible in color-critical applications.

Q: What is the physical fit difference?

A: Both parts are 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole components with 8.60mm maximum height. Physical fit in PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies is identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select based on circuit topology requirements. If independent LED control is needed, use SSL-LX5099IGW-02. If common cathode configuration is acceptable, XLUGR59M offers higher green brightness and better inventory availability.
