TLHB5800 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLHB5800 is a blue LED indication component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, featuring a 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole package with clear lens and 380mcd brightness rating. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with through-hole mounting, 5mm form factor, and blue LED indication functionality while meeting current RoHS3 compliance standards.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TLHB5800 are evaluated based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

Mounting Type: Through Hole (all substitutes must match)
Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4 form factor (all substitutes must match)
Color: Blue LED indication (all substitutes must match)
Current - Test: 20mA (all substitutes must match)
Package / Case: Radial (all substitutes must match)

Secondary Parameters (allowable variation):

Voltage - Forward (Vf): Range 3.2V to 5V acceptable for circuit design flexibility
Millicandela Rating: 100mcd to 630mcd acceptable depending on application brightness requirements
Viewing Angle: 8° to 60° acceptable depending on application visibility requirements
Lens Transparency: Clear or Diffused acceptable for different optical requirements

Substitutes are grouped by lens transparency type (Clear vs. Diffused) and forward voltage characteristics to facilitate selection based on specific circuit requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are RoHS3 compliant and carry REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The TLHB5800 obsolete status necessitates selection from active product alternatives.

Clear Lens Substitutes (Colorless): The 5UBWC-0.6K, CMD383UBC/H2, SSL-LX5093TSBC, and SSL-LX5093XSBC/A maintain the clear lens optical characteristic of the original part. Forward voltage ranges from 3.8V to 5V, requiring circuit design verification for compatibility. Brightness ratings (100mcd to 630mcd) span a wider range than the original 380mcd specification.

Diffused Lens Substitutes: The SSL-LX5093USBD and 151051BS04000 provide diffused lens alternatives with wider viewing angles (60° and 40° respectively) suitable for applications requiring broader light distribution. Forward voltages are lower (4.6V and 3.2V) compared to the original 3.9V specification.

Voltage Considerations: Circuits designed for the original 3.9V forward voltage should prioritize the 5UBWC-0.6K (3.8V) or CMD383UBC/H2 (3.8V) for minimal design modification. Higher voltage alternatives (SSL-LX5093 series at 4.5V or 5V) require series resistor recalculation.

Brightness Matching: The SSL-LX5093TSBC (400mcd) provides the closest brightness match to the original 380mcd specification while maintaining clear lens and active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with different forward voltage in my existing circuit?

A: Forward voltage differences require circuit recalculation. If your circuit uses a current-limiting resistor, the resistor value must be adjusted to maintain 20mA test current. For example, substituting a 4.5V part for a 3.9V part in a 5V supply circuit requires resistor adjustment. Verify your power supply voltage and current-limiting design before substitution.

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

A: Clear lens parts (colorless) provide focused light output with narrow viewing angles (8° to 35°), suitable for direct line-of-sight indication. Diffused lens parts (blue-tinted) scatter light over wider viewing angles (40° to 60°), suitable for applications requiring visibility from multiple angles. Optical appearance differs; diffused lenses appear brighter from off-axis positions.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with through-hole PCB mounting?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain radial through-hole package configuration compatible with standard PCB mounting. However, physical height varies from 8.50mm to 13.10mm. Verify clearance in your PCB assembly, particularly if space constraints exist above the component.

Q: Which substitute provides the closest electrical match to TLHB5800?

A: The 5UBWC-0.6K and CMD383UBC/H2 provide the closest forward voltage match (3.8V vs. 3.9V original). Both are active products with RoHS3 compliance. The 5UBWC-0.6K offers higher brightness (600mcd) and wider viewing angle (35°), while CMD383UBC/H2 offers highest brightness (630mcd) with narrower viewing angle (30°).

Q: Can I substitute a diffused lens part for a clear lens application?

A: Diffused lens substitutes alter optical appearance and light distribution characteristics. Use diffused alternatives only if your application permits wider light scattering and can tolerate the blue-tinted lens color. For applications requiring focused, narrow-angle indication, clear lens substitutes are required.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts listed are RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts. HTSUS code 8541.41.0000 applies uniformly. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements.
