LITEON
A near-identical 0603 red LED from the same manufacturer with a matching footprint and electricals.
The LTST-C193KRKT-5A is a standard 0603 red LED from LITEON, commonly used for indication. Several alternatives are available, with LTST-C191KRKT from the same manufacturer offering a near drop-in replacement.
The 0603 package is a standard size, and multiple candidates match.
Brightness and forward voltage can vary between parts. The best candidates are very close, but others require review.
The target part is active and multiple alternatives exist from major manufacturers.
Direct replacement for LTST-C193KRKT-5A should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
LTST-C191KRKT is the best replacement path, offering a near-identical part from the same manufacturer.
The main risk when substituting is a mismatch in luminous intensity (brightness) or viewing angle, which can affect the visual appearance and performance in the application.
