MV5437

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The MV5437 is a discontinued bi-color LED component manufactured by onsemi, featuring red and green emission colors within a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package. It utilizes a common cathode configuration with a diffused dome lens for a 100-degree viewing angle. The device operates with a forward current of 30 mA and delivers a light intensity of 2 mcd. This component was designed for visual signaling and status indication applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Dual-color output combining red and green emissions in a single package
• Common cathode electrical configuration for simplified circuit integration
• Diffused dome lens design providing a wide 100-degree viewing angle

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in electronic equipment
• Visual signaling devices
• Panel indicator lights

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

This component is officially obsolete and no longer manufactured by onsemi. Procurement is restricted to available substitute parts or remaining stock from third-party distributors. Verify the availability of direct replacements such as SSL-LX5099IGW/R before initiating orders. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and electrical requirements when sourcing alternatives.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy compatibility is required, as it is no longer in production. Consider the T-1 3/4 package size and common cathode configuration during design. Evaluate alternative bi-color LEDs with similar mechanical dimensions and optical characteristics to ensure seamless integration into existing systems without redesigning the hardware layout.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

The MV5437 belongs to onsemi's discrete LED indication family, specifically designed for multi-color signaling tasks. It represents a standard through-hole solution for dual-color applications. As an obsolete part, it serves as a reference for historical designs requiring red/green combination indicators in industrial or commercial equipment panels.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitute: SSL-LX5099IGW/R. Verify pinout compatibility and forward voltage differences when replacing the obsolete MV5437 with this alternative component.
