VLWY9932 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VLWY9932 is a yellow 592nm LED indication component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, designed for through-hole mounting in 4-DIP (0.200", 5.08mm) packages. This part is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent components to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability. The TELUX™ series yellow LED provides standard configuration indication functionality with clear lens transparency and 0.7mcd brightness rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VLWY9932 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Color and Wavelength: Yellow 592nm dominant wavelength with 594nm peak wavelength
• Electrical Characteristics: 2.2V forward voltage and 70mA test current
• Optical Properties: 0.7mcd brightness rating, 90° viewing angle, clear lens transparency
• Mechanical Compatibility: Round domed top lens style, 4-DIP (0.200", 5.08mm) package, through-hole mounting
• Physical Dimensions: 7.62mm L x 7.62mm W footprint, 6.40mm maximum height
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, MSL 1 rating

The VLWY9930 meets all these parameters identically and serves as the direct parametric equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: VLWY9930 is active and available, while VLWY9932 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VLWY9930 is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete VLWY9932. All electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications are identical. The VLWY9930 maintains active product status within the TELUX™ series, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 regulations and carry REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity protection, suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

The VLWY9930 is supplied in tube packaging, which is a standard distribution format for through-hole discrete components and does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility with the VLWY9932 footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLWY9930 be used as a direct replacement for VLWY9932?

A: Yes. The VLWY9930 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications. All key parameters including forward voltage, test current, wavelength, brightness, viewing angle, package type, and physical dimensions match exactly.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The VLWY9932 is classified as obsolete. The VLWY9930 is the active equivalent part from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certifications?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. No additional testing or qualification is required for substitution.

Q: Does the tube packaging of VLWY9930 affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or PCB mounting. Tube packaging is a standard distribution method for through-hole discrete components and is fully compatible with the 4-DIP (0.200", 5.08mm) footprint.

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts provide 0.7mcd brightness, 90° viewing angle, clear lens transparency, round domed top lens style, and 592nm dominant wavelength with 594nm peak wavelength.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The VLWY9930 maintains identical electrical characteristics (2.2V forward voltage, 70mA test current), mechanical dimensions (7.62mm L x 7.62mm W, 6.40mm height), and package configuration (4-DIP through-hole). No circuit modifications are required.
