Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VAOL-10GCE4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Forward voltage (Vf): 2V nominal
• Test current: 20mA
• Wavelength dominant: 590nm (yellow spectrum)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type: Through hole radial configuration
• Lens color: Colorless (clear)
• Configuration: Standard

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• REACH unaffected status

The substitute part WP710A10SYC/J3 maintains electrical equivalence through identical forward voltage and test current specifications, matching wavelength in the yellow spectrum, and preserving through-hole mounting compatibility. Both components are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WP710A10SYC/J3 serves as an electrical equivalent to the obsolete VAOL-10GCE4 based on matching forward voltage (2V), test current (20mA), and dominant wavelength (590nm). Both components maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part. Both components feature through-hole radial mounting, enabling direct circuit board integration without redesign of mounting footprints.

Differences in physical dimensions (10mm versus 3mm lens diameter, 13.25mm versus 5.90mm height) and brightness rating (200mcd versus 2800mcd) require circuit-level evaluation to confirm suitability for specific application requirements. The improved moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1 versus MSL 2) of the substitute part provides enhanced reliability under extended storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WP710A10SYC/J3 directly replace VAOL-10GCE4 in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on matching forward voltage (2V), test current (20mA), and wavelength (590nm). Physical dimensions differ significantly; circuit board layout and mechanical clearances must be verified before implementation.

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

A: Forward voltage (2V), test current (20mA), and dominant wavelength (590nm) establish electrical equivalence. Both components operate within identical electrical specifications for indication applications.

Q: How do the brightness ratings affect substitution?

A: The substitute part (2800mcd) provides substantially higher brightness than the main part (200mcd). Application requirements determine whether increased brightness is acceptable or requires circuit current limiting adjustments.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between these components?

A: Both components are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No regulatory barriers exist to substitution from a compliance perspective.

Q: What is the significance of the different lens sizes?

A: The main part features a 10mm lens diameter; the substitute uses a 3mm T-1 package. Lens size affects light distribution, viewing angle (30° versus 34°), and physical board space requirements. Application-specific optical requirements must be evaluated.

Q: Does product status affect the substitution decision?

A: The main part is obsolete; the substitute is active production. Active status ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for future procurement.
