Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Electrical Compatibility (2V Forward Voltage, 20mA Test Current):

The 1383UYD/S530-A3 (Everlight Electronics) and WP7113YD (Kingbright) are the primary substitutes. Both maintain the 2.0–2.1V forward voltage range and 20mA test current specification. The 1383UYD/S530-A3 offers higher brightness (800mcd versus 80mcd), suitable for applications requiring increased luminous intensity. The WP7113YD provides 25mcd brightness with narrower viewing angle (30° versus 60°), appropriate for directed indication applications. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

For Reduced Power Applications:

The WP7113LYD (Kingbright) operates at 1.85V forward voltage with 2mA test current, reducing power consumption by 90% compared to the VAOL-5LCE2. This substitute is suitable for battery-powered or low-power indicator circuits where brightness reduction (3mcd) is acceptable.

For Mechanical Fit Considerations:

The VAOL-5LCE2 features a 4.80mm lens diameter. Substitute parts with 5.00mm or T-1 3/4 (5mm) lens sizes represent a minor mechanical variation. Verify PCB hole spacing and mechanical clearance before substitution in space-constrained applications.

For Viewing Angle Requirements:

Applications requiring the original 60° viewing angle should prioritize the 1383UYD/S530-A3 (25° viewing angle) or WP7113YD (30° viewing angle) only if the narrower angle is acceptable. The MV6351 (onsemi) offers 70° viewing angle as an alternative for wide-angle indication requirements.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All recommended substitutes maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and REACH Unaffected status, consistent with the original VAOL-5LCE2. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed for Kingbright WP7113 series parts. Verify compliance documentation for specific end-use applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WP7113YD directly replace the VAOL-5LCE2 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, the WP7113YD is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both are through-hole radial packages with 2.1V forward voltage and 20mA test current. The primary difference is lens diameter (5.00mm versus 4.80mm) and viewing angle (30° versus 60°). Verify PCB hole spacing and mechanical clearance before assembly.

Q: What is the brightness difference between VAOL-5LCE2 and 1383UYD/S530-A3?

A: The 1383UYD/S530-A3 produces 800mcd compared to 80mcd for the VAOL-5LCE2, a 10-fold increase in luminous intensity. This higher brightness is suitable for applications requiring greater visibility. Circuit current limiting must be verified to ensure 20mA test current specification is maintained.

Q: Is the WP7113LYD suitable for the same applications as VAOL-5LCE2?

A: The WP7113LYD operates at significantly lower power (1.85V, 2mA) and produces only 3mcd brightness. It is suitable only for applications where reduced brightness and power consumption are acceptable. Do not use as a direct replacement in circuits designed for 80mcd brightness output.

Q: What are the mechanical differences between 4.80mm and 5.00mm lens diameters?

A: The 0.20mm diameter difference is minor but may affect mechanical fit in applications with tight component spacing or specific lens aperture requirements. Verify PCB hole diameter and mechanical clearance specifications. Standard through-hole LED mounting typically accommodates both sizes.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Kingbright WP7113 series (WP7113YD, WP7113LYD) are confirmed ROHS3 compliant. Everlight 1383UYD/S530-A3 compliance status is not specified in available documentation. onsemi MV5354A and MV6354A compliance status is not specified. Verify ROHS3 certification with manufacturers for specific applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Q: Can I use MV5354A or MV6354A as substitutes?

A: MV5354A and MV6354A are electrically compatible (2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current) but are classified as obsolete products. While mechanically and electrically suitable, active product alternatives (WP7113YD, 1383UYD/S530-A3) are preferred for new designs and long-term supply assurance.

Q: What is the viewing angle impact on circuit design?

A: The VAOL-5LCE2 provides 60° viewing angle, while most substitutes offer 24–30° angles. Narrower viewing angles concentrate light intensity in a specific direction, suitable for directed indication. Wider angles (MV6351 at 70°) distribute light more broadly. Select based on application visibility requirements and observer position.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for substitute selection?

A: WP7113YD (Kingbright) has 16,201 units in stock, providing superior supply availability. 1383UYD/S530-A3 (Everlight) has 1,097 units available. onsemi and Rohm parts have lower inventory levels. For production applications, prioritize active products with higher stock levels.
