Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TLHG5200 are grouped based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

Color: Green
Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Package / Case: Radial
Wavelength range: 559nm to 570nm (dominant)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

Voltage - Forward (Vf): 1.8V to 2.2V
Current - Test: 2mA to 20mA
Millicandela Rating: 2.3mcd to 300mcd
Viewing Angle: 15° to 50°

Substitutes are divided into two categories: parametric equivalents (TLHG5201) with nearly identical electrical characteristics, and manufacturer-recommended alternatives from Broadcom Limited and Lite-On Inc. that maintain the same form factor and green wavelength specification but with variations in brightness, forward voltage, and viewing angle.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Parametric Equivalent: TLHG5201 is the closest parametric equivalent to TLHG5200, with identical electrical characteristics (2V forward voltage, 10mA test current) and mechanical form factor. Both parts are classified as obsolete; however, TLHG5201 maintains higher inventory availability (4644 pcs vs. 929 pcs). Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Active Production Alternatives: For new designs or long-term production continuity, Broadcom Limited HLMP series parts are recommended as they maintain active product status. HLMP-C523 and HLMP-C523-J0002 provide the closest brightness match (170mcd) to the TLHG5200 with compatible 2.2V forward voltage and 20mA test current. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

HLMP-3568 offers lower brightness (10.6mcd) with 2.1V forward voltage and maintains the 10mA test current specification, suitable for applications requiring reduced luminous intensity.

HLMP-C515 and HLMP-C515-L0002 provide significantly higher brightness (300mcd) at 2.2V and 20mA, appropriate for applications requiring enhanced visibility.

Lite-On Alternative: LTL-307GE-012 provides active product status with 2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current, and 60mcd brightness. This part offers a wider viewing angle (40°) compared to the TLHG5200 (28°) and is ROHS3 compliant.

Not Recommended for New Designs: 4300H5LC (VCC) and TLHG5200/TLHG5201 (Vishay) are classified as obsolete or not for new designs and should not be selected for new production applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLHG5201 be used as a direct replacement for TLHG5200? A: Yes. TLHG5201 is a parametric equivalent with identical forward voltage (2V), test current (10mA), wavelength (569nm), and mechanical form factor (T-1 3/4, 12.20mm height). Both are obsolete; however, TLHG5201 has higher inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between diffused and clear lens transparency? A: TLHG5200 features a diffused lens that scatters light over a wider area with reduced peak brightness. Clear lens alternatives (HLMP series) concentrate light with higher millicandela ratings. Diffused lenses are suitable for general indication; clear lenses provide directional visibility.

Q: Can I use HLMP-C515 in place of TLHG5200? A: HLMP-C515 is mechanically compatible (T-1 3/4, 5mm, through-hole radial) and maintains the same green wavelength (569nm). However, it requires higher test current (20mA vs. 10mA) and forward voltage (2.2V vs. 2V), and provides significantly higher brightness (300mcd vs. 40mcd). Circuit design modifications may be required.

Q: What are the compliance differences between substitute parts? A: All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. TLHG5200, TLHG5201, and 4300H5LC are classified as obsolete or not for new designs. All Broadcom HLMP series and Lite-On LTL-307GE-012 maintain active product status.

Q: How does viewing angle affect part selection? A: TLHG5200 has a 28° viewing angle. Alternatives range from 15° (HLMP-C515, HLMP-C615-G0001) for narrow directional indication to 50° (4300H5LC) for wide-angle visibility. Viewing angle selection depends on application requirements for light distribution and visibility range.

Q: Are packaging options interchangeable? A: All listed parts use radial through-hole packaging with T-1 3/4 form factor. Packaging variants (Bulk, Cut Tape, Tape & Reel) affect supply and handling but do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Height variations (6.35mm to 12.20mm) may affect PCB layout and should be verified during design integration.

Q: What is the wavelength tolerance for green LED substitution? A: Listed substitutes maintain dominant wavelengths between 559nm and 570nm, all within the green spectrum. TLHG5200 specifies 569nm dominant with 565nm peak wavelength. Alternatives with 559nm, 565nm, 568nm, 569nm, or 570nm are functionally equivalent for general green indication applications.
