TLPR5600-AS12Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLPR5600-AS12Z is a red diffused 5mm through-hole right-angle LED manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The part delivers red 630nm indication at 4.6mcd with a forward voltage of 2V and 10mA test current, designed for discrete LED indication applications requiring radial mounting configuration.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and new production requirements where this component specification remains functionally appropriate.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLPR5600-AS12Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and Wavelength: Red 630nm dominant wavelength with 640nm peak wavelength
• Electrical Characteristics: 2V forward voltage and 10mA test current
• Optical Performance: 4.6mcd brightness rating with 160° viewing angle
• Mechanical Configuration: Through-hole right-angle mounting with 7.80mm maximum height
• Lens Properties: Diffused transparency with round domed top lens style
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The TLPR5600 (manufacturer recommended substitute) maintains identical electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications while differing in package configuration (side view variant) and product status (active production). This substitution is valid where the side-view lens orientation is compatible with the application circuit layout.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLPR5600 is the direct manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TLPR5600-AS12Z. Both components maintain identical electrical performance, optical characteristics, and mechanical dimensions. The primary distinction is the lens orientation variant (side view configuration on the substitute) and active production status of the replacement part.

Selection of the TLPR5600 substitute is supported by:

• Matching forward voltage (2V) and test current (10mA) specifications
• Identical brightness rating (4.6mcd) and viewing angle (160°)
• Equivalent wavelength characteristics (630nm dominant, 640nm peak)
• Identical mechanical height (7.80mm) and through-hole right-angle mounting
• Maintained ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Active production availability with established supply chain

The side-view lens orientation of the substitute requires verification that the application circuit layout accommodates this package variant. Where the original radial orientation is mandatory, alternative red 630nm diffused LEDs with identical electrical and optical parameters but standard radial configuration should be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TLPR5600 directly replace the TLPR5600-AS12Z in existing designs?

A: The TLPR5600 substitute maintains all critical electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications. The primary consideration is the side-view lens orientation. If the original design accommodates side-view LED mounting, direct substitution is valid. If the circuit layout requires standard radial orientation, alternative components with matching specifications must be sourced.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: color (red), wavelength (630nm dominant / 640nm peak), forward voltage (2V), test current (10mA), brightness (4.6mcd), viewing angle (160°), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), lens transparency (diffused), and mechanical height (7.80mm maximum).

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: Both the TLPR5600-AS12Z and TLPR5600 maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. No compliance degradation occurs with substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The TLPR5600-AS12Z is classified as obsolete and no longer in active production. The TLPR5600 substitute is actively manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Does the side-view package variant affect electrical performance?

A: No. The side-view configuration is a mechanical and optical orientation variant only. Electrical characteristics (forward voltage, test current) and optical performance (wavelength, brightness, viewing angle) remain identical.
