TLUV5300 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLUV5300 is a green/red diffused 5mm through-hole LED manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. This dual-color LED provides visual indication across green (564nm) and red (619nm) wavelengths with a common cathode configuration. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and packaging specifications align with the original design requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), mounting type (through hole), lens style (round with domed top), and lens transparency (diffused) must match the original specification.

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage ranges for green and red channels must support operation within the design circuit. Test current specifications indicate the operating point for brightness comparison.

Configuration: The TLUV5300 uses common cathode configuration. Substitute parts with bidirectional configuration may be used if circuit design accommodates the alternative pinout.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating to ensure equivalent environmental and reliability performance.

Wavelength Alignment: Peak wavelengths for green (565nm) and red (630nm) establish the color specification baseline for visual indication purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SSL-LX5097IGW (Lumex): Direct substitute with common cathode configuration matching the TLUV5300. Electrical parameters align within acceptable tolerance. Viewing angle and brightness characteristics support equivalent visual indication performance. ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

LTL-293SJW (Lite-On): Suitable substitute with bidirectional configuration. Higher millicandela ratings (40mcd green, 90mcd red) provide increased brightness. Red forward voltage is lower (1.8V). Requires circuit design verification for bidirectional pinout compatibility. ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

SSL-LX5093IGW (Lumex): Bidirectional configuration substitute. Moderate brightness increase (20mcd green, 30mcd red). Narrower viewing angle (30°) compared to TLUV5300 (60°). Requires circuit design verification for bidirectional pinout. ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

5BC (Bivar): Bidirectional configuration substitute. Lower brightness (8mcd green, 6mcd red). Narrower viewing angle (45°). Shorter height (8.50mm). Requires circuit design verification for bidirectional pinout. ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

WP57EGW (Kingbright): Bidirectional configuration substitute. Moderate brightness (30mcd green, 14mcd red). Narrower viewing angle (30°). Requires circuit design verification for bidirectional pinout. ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a bidirectional LED as a substitute for the common cathode TLUV5300?

A: Bidirectional LEDs have different pinout configurations than common cathode parts. Substitution requires circuit design verification to ensure the alternative pinout is compatible with your application. SSL-LX5097IGW maintains common cathode configuration for direct substitution without circuit modification.

Q: What is the impact of different millicandela ratings on my application?

A: Millicandela rating determines LED brightness at the specified test current. The TLUV5300 operates at 2.5mcd for both colors at 10mA. Substitute parts with higher ratings (LTL-293SJW at 40mcd green, 90mcd red) produce brighter indication. Lower ratings (5BC at 8mcd green, 6mcd red) produce dimmer indication. Select based on your visual indication requirements.

Q: Why do substitute parts have different test currents?

A: The TLUV5300 specifies 10mA test current for both colors. Most substitute parts operate at 20mA test current. This affects brightness comparison and circuit design. Forward voltage specifications at the respective test currents must be used for accurate circuit calculations.

Q: Does the height difference between TLUV5300 (12.60mm) and substitute parts (8.50-8.60mm) affect compatibility?

A: Height differences may impact mechanical fit in applications with height constraints. The TLUV5300 is taller than all listed substitutes. Verify PCB layout and enclosure clearance before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and reliability performance to the TLUV5300.

Q: What is the significance of viewing angle differences?

A: The TLUV5300 has a 60° viewing angle. Substitute parts range from 30° to 60°. Narrower viewing angles (30°) concentrate light intensity in a smaller cone, affecting visibility from off-axis positions. Select based on your application's viewing geometry requirements.
