Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UW5805S is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Color: White
• Lens Color: Colorless
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Current - Test: 20mA

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Range 3.2V to 3.7V (acceptable tolerance for white LED indication circuits)
• Millicandela Rating: Substitutes may exceed the original 2000mcd specification
• Viewing Angle: Substitutes range from 15° to 50° (application-dependent selection)
• Height (Max): Substitutes range from 8.60mm to 13.00mm (PCB layout dependent)
• Lens Size: 5mm form factors including T-1 3/4 and 5.00mm Dia designations

Substitute parts must maintain through-hole radial configuration and white color specification. Forward voltage tolerance accommodates standard white LED manufacturing variations. Luminous intensity and viewing angle variations allow selection based on specific application requirements within the same functional category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

The following parts maintain closest alignment with UW5805S specifications and are recommended as primary substitutes:

• 334-15/F1C5-1RTA (Everlight): Active product status, 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor, 3.2V forward voltage, 8.90mm height. Increased luminous intensity (6750mcd) with wider viewing angle (50°) suitable for applications requiring enhanced visibility.

• XLFWS12W (SunLED): Active product status, 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor, 3.3V forward voltage closest to original 3.7V specification, 8.60mm height. Luminous intensity of 9990mcd with 20° viewing angle provides balanced performance.

• SSL-LX5093UWC/H (Lumex Opto/Components Inc., QuasarBrite series): Active product status, 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor, 3.2V forward voltage, 9.60mm height. High luminous intensity (27000mcd) with narrow 15° viewing angle for focused indication applications.

Secondary Substitutes (Application-Specific Selection):

• 334-15/T1C3-7TVA (Everlight): Highest luminous intensity among white options (10700mcd), suitable for low-light visibility requirements. 10.40mm height requires PCB layout verification.

• OVLEW1CB9 (TT Electronics/Optek Technology): Extreme luminous intensity (35000mcd) with narrow 15° viewing angle for specialized high-brightness indication. 8.80mm height maintains compact profile.

• VLHW5100 (Vishay): Moderate luminous intensity (8400mcd) with 20° viewing angle. 13.00mm height requires clearance verification in compact designs.

Warm White Alternatives (Color Variant):

• 334-15/X1C2-1UWA and 334-15/X1C5-1QSA (Everlight): Warm white color variants available if application permits color shift. Both maintain 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor and 3.2V forward voltage with active product status.

Compliance and Availability:

All substitute parts listed carry active product status and RoHS3 compliance certification. Forward voltage tolerance (3.2V to 3.3V range) is within acceptable limits for standard white LED indication circuits. Inventory availability ranges from 991 to 18807 units across substitute options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with different forward voltage (3.2V vs. 3.7V)?

A: Yes. The forward voltage range of 3.2V to 3.7V is acceptable for white LED indication applications. Circuit design must accommodate the specified forward voltage of the selected substitute. Verify that current-limiting resistor values are recalculated based on the substitute part's forward voltage to maintain 20mA test current operation.

Q: What is the significance of millicandela (mcd) rating differences?

A: Millicandela rating determines luminous intensity and perceived brightness. Substitutes with higher mcd ratings (6750mcd to 35000mcd) provide increased visibility compared to the original 2000mcd. Selection depends on application requirements: low-light environments benefit from higher mcd ratings, while standard indication applications may use lower ratings to reduce power consumption and heat generation.

Q: How do viewing angle variations affect substitution?

A: Viewing angle determines the cone of light distribution. The original UW5805S provides 35° viewing angle. Substitutes range from 15° (narrow, focused indication) to 50° (wide, omnidirectional visibility). Selection depends on observer position and application geometry. Narrow angles (15°-20°) suit fixed-position indicators; wide angles (50°) suit applications where observers approach from multiple directions.

Q: Are warm white color variants (334-15/X1C2-1UWA, 334-15/X1C5-1QSA) direct substitutes?

A: Warm white variants maintain identical electrical specifications and through-hole radial package configuration. However, color shift from cool white to warm white may affect visual perception and application aesthetics. Use warm white variants only if application design permits color variation or specifically requires warm white indication.

Q: What PCB layout considerations apply to height variations?

A: The original UW5805S has 7.80mm maximum height. Substitutes range from 8.60mm to 13.00mm. Verify clearance above PCB for components with heights exceeding original specification. Taller components (VLHW5100 at 13.00mm) may require design layout adjustment. Shorter substitutes (XLFWS12W at 8.60mm) provide improved clearance margin.

Q: Which substitute offers the closest electrical match to UW5805S?

A: XLFWS12W (SunLED) provides the closest forward voltage match at 3.3V, compared to the original 3.7V specification. This minimizes circuit redesign requirements. However, 334-15/F1C5-1RTA and SSL-LX5093UWC/H offer superior availability and active product status with established supply chains.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification. The original UW5805S (obsolete) does not specify RoHS status. Substitution with RoHS3-compliant parts ensures compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Mixing substitute parts with different luminous intensities and viewing angles in the same application is not recommended for consistency. If multiple indicator positions require different brightness or viewing characteristics, select substitute parts intentionally based on specific position requirements rather than using mixed inventory.

Q: What is the lead time for substitute parts?

A: Inventory availability is provided in the parameter data. SSL-LX5093UWC/H (Lumex) offers highest stock (18807 units), while 334-15/T1C3-7TVA (Everlight) offers lowest stock (991 units). Consult supplier inventory systems for current lead time information.
