Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLCR5200 is determined by the following allowed parameters:

Color: Red
Lens Transparency: Clear
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Package / Case: Radial
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 2.0V to 2.1V range
Wavelength - Dominant: 616nm to 639nm range (red spectrum)
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on lens size and viewing angle characteristics:

Category A: 5.00mm Lens Size (Compact Profile) Parts with 5.00mm lens diameter and varying millicandela ratings and viewing angles. These are suitable for applications where the TLCR5200's 5.80mm lens size can be accommodated within tighter mechanical constraints.

Category B: T-1 3/4 (5mm, T-1 3/4) Lens Size (Standard Profile) Parts with T-1 3/4 package designation, maintaining the 5mm form factor with standard through-hole mounting. These provide direct mechanical compatibility with the TLCR5200's radial package footprint.

All substitute parts maintain red color, clear lens transparency, through-hole mounting, and radial package configuration. Forward voltage remains within 2.0V specification, and all parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, providing regulatory continuity for the obsolete TLCR5200.

For 30° Viewing Angle Applications (Direct Optical Match): Select from 7343-2SURC/H2/S400-A7, 7343-2SURC/H2/S400-A8, 7343-2USRC/S1060, or 7383/R7C3-ARUB/P/MS. These parts maintain the 30° viewing angle of the TLCR5200. The 7343-2USRC/S1060 provides the closest millicandela match at 4000mcd. The 7383/R7C3-ARUB/P/MS offers the highest brightness at 7150mcd for applications requiring increased luminous intensity.

For Compact 5.00mm Lens Size Applications: Select from 333-2SURC/S400-A8, 383-2SDRC/S530-A4, 383-2SURC/S400-A6, 383-2SURC/S530-A3, or 383-2SURC/S530-A6. These parts feature a 5.00mm lens diameter, reducing overall package footprint compared to the TLCR5200's 5.80mm lens. Brightness ranges from 2500mcd to 6300mcd with viewing angles from 6° to 10°.

For Narrow Viewing Angle Applications: The HLMP-EG08-T0000 from Broadcom Limited provides an 8° viewing angle with 2500mcd brightness and 1.9V forward voltage, suitable for applications requiring directional indication with reduced ambient light sensitivity.

All substitute parts maintain through-hole radial mounting compatibility and red color specification with clear lens transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace TLCR5200 with any of these substitute parts? A: Direct replacement depends on your application's optical and electrical requirements. All substitutes share the same color (red), lens transparency (clear), mounting type (through-hole), and package configuration (radial). However, they differ in millicandela rating, viewing angle, and wavelength. Verify that the substitute part's brightness, viewing angle, and forward voltage are compatible with your circuit design before implementation.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 5.00mm lens size substitutes and the T-1 3/4 substitutes? A: The 5.00mm lens size substitutes (333-2SURC/S400-A8, 383-2SDRC/S530-A4, 383-2SURC/S400-A6, 383-2SURC/S530-A3, 383-2SURC/S530-A6) feature a more compact lens diameter of 5.00mm compared to the TLCR5200's 5.80mm. The T-1 3/4 substitutes (7343-2SURC/H2/S400-A7, 7343-2SURC/H2/S400-A8, 7343-2USRC/S1060, 7383/R7C3-ARUB/P/MS) maintain the standard T-1 3/4 package designation with 5mm form factor. Both categories fit through-hole radial mounting but may require PCB layout verification for mechanical clearance.

Q: The TLCR5200 operates at 50mA test current, but most substitutes specify 20mA. Is this a compatibility issue? A: No. The test current specification indicates the current at which the manufacturer measures brightness (millicandela rating). Your circuit design determines the actual operating current. If your application requires 50mA operation, select a substitute with sufficient brightness at 20mA test current to meet your luminous intensity requirements at your actual operating current. Consult the substitute part's datasheet for brightness versus current characteristics.

Q: Which substitute provides the closest optical match to the TLCR5200? A: The 7343-2USRC/S1060 provides the closest match with 4000mcd brightness (identical to TLCR5200) and 30° viewing angle. The dominant wavelength is 631nm compared to the TLCR5200's 616nm, representing a shift within the red spectrum that is typically imperceptible in indication applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Most substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. Parts 383-2SDRC/S530-A4 and 383-2SURC/S530-A6 do not specify RoHS status in the provided data. Verify RoHS compliance with the manufacturer if regulatory certification is required for your application.

Q: What is the height difference between the TLCR5200 and substitute parts? A: The TLCR5200 has a maximum height of 9.00mm. Most substitutes range from 8.85mm to 8.91mm, representing a reduction of 0.09mm to 0.15mm. The 7383/R7C3-ARUB/P/MS matches the TLCR5200 at 9.00mm maximum height. These height variations are negligible for most through-hole applications but should be verified against your PCB design constraints.

Q: Can I use the HLMP-EG08-T0000 as a substitute if my application requires a 30° viewing angle? A: No. The HLMP-EG08-T0000 provides an 8° viewing angle, which is significantly narrower than the TLCR5200's 30° viewing angle. This part is suitable only for applications requiring directional indication with reduced ambient light sensitivity. For 30° viewing angle requirements, select from 7343-2SURC/H2/S400-A7, 7343-2SURC/H2/S400-A8, 7343-2USRC/S1060, or 7383/R7C3-ARUB/P/MS.
