TLHE5800 Yellow LED T-1 3/4 Through Hole - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLHE5800 is a yellow 588nm LED indication component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. This through-hole radial LED operates at 2V forward voltage with a 3500mcd brightness rating and 8° viewing angle. The component is actively produced and RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, design optimization for specific viewing angles or brightness levels, or application-specific performance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Requirements:

• Color: Yellow (588-592nm wavelength range)
• Lens Transparency: Clear or Diffused
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 2.0V to 2.1V
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Lens Size: 5mm T-1 3/4 or equivalent

Secondary Variation Parameters:

• Millicandela Rating: 50mcd to 3500mcd (application-dependent brightness selection)
• Viewing Angle: 8° to 100° (application-dependent field of view)
• Height (Max): 6.80mm to 13.10mm (PCB clearance dependent)

Parts are grouped into two categories:

Category A - Direct Substitutes (Yellow, Clear Lens): Parts with identical or near-identical optical and electrical characteristics suitable for direct replacement in most applications.

Category B - Functional Alternatives (Yellow, Diffused Lens or Brightness Variants): Parts with modified lens properties or brightness ratings that require application verification but maintain core electrical compatibility.

Category C - Non-Recommended (Color Mismatch): Parts with different dominant colors (orange wavelength) are listed for reference only and are not suitable substitutes for yellow indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Recommended for Most Applications):

OVLLY8C7 (TT Electronics/Optek Technology) and SSL-LX5093XYC (Lumex Opto/Components Inc.) are the primary alternatives. Both maintain yellow wavelength specifications (589nm and 590nm respectively), clear lens transparency, and T-1 3/4 package compatibility. OVLLY8C7 offers a wider 100° viewing angle with 980mcd brightness, while SSL-LX5093XYC provides 1300mcd with a 20° viewing angle. Both are RoHS3 compliant and actively produced.

Brightness-Optimized Alternatives:

WP1503YC and WP7113YC (Kingbright) provide lower brightness ratings (50mcd and 80mcd respectively) suitable for applications requiring reduced luminous intensity. Both maintain 2.1V forward voltage and clear lens properties with T-1 3/4 packaging.

Diffused Lens Alternative:

151051YS04000 (Würth Elektronik) features a diffused yellow lens with 450mcd brightness and 40° viewing angle. This part is suitable for applications requiring light diffusion and wider beam distribution. Note the reduced height (8.95mm) and slightly smaller lens diameter (4.90mm).

Non-Recommended:

XLMO12W (SunLED) is an orange LED (601nm dominant wavelength) and is not suitable for yellow indication applications requiring 588-592nm wavelength specifications.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, active product status, and 20mA test current specifications. Forward voltage variations (2.0V to 2.1V) are within typical circuit design tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OVLLY8C7 replace TLHE5800 directly?

A: Yes. OVLLY8C7 maintains yellow wavelength (589nm), clear lens transparency, 2V forward voltage, and T-1 3/4 package compatibility. The primary difference is a wider 100° viewing angle versus the TLHE5800's 8° angle and lower brightness (980mcd versus 3500mcd). Direct substitution is suitable for applications where the wider viewing angle and reduced brightness are acceptable.

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

A: Clear lenses (TLHE5800, OVLLY8C7, SSL-LX5093XYC, WP1503YC, WP7113YC) provide focused light output with defined viewing angles. Diffused lenses (151051YS04000) scatter light across a wider area, reducing peak brightness but improving visibility from off-axis positions. Diffused lenses are not interchangeable with clear lenses in applications requiring narrow beam angles.

Q: Why does XLMO12W appear in the substitute list if it is orange?

A: XLMO12W is listed as a reference part only and is not a suitable substitute. It has a different dominant wavelength (601nm orange versus 588nm yellow) and is not compatible with applications requiring yellow indication. This part should not be selected as a replacement.

Q: Are the 2.0V and 2.1V forward voltage differences significant?

A: The 0.1V difference between parts is within standard circuit design tolerances. Most LED driver circuits accommodate forward voltage variations across this range. However, in current-limited designs with tight voltage budgets, verify that the specific forward voltage of the selected substitute is compatible with your circuit design.

Q: What is the impact of height differences on PCB layout?

A: The TLHE5800 has a maximum height of 13.10mm, while most substitutes range from 6.80mm to 8.95mm. Shorter substitutes provide greater PCB clearance and may be preferred in space-constrained designs. Verify that the selected substitute height is compatible with your mechanical assembly and enclosure design.

Q: Can I use WP1503YC or WP7113YC if I need lower brightness?

A: Yes. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring reduced luminous intensity (50mcd and 80mcd respectively). They maintain yellow wavelength, clear lens transparency, and T-1 3/4 package compatibility. Verify that the reduced brightness meets your application's visibility requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and actively produced, matching the compliance status of the TLHE5800.
