Best Alternatives to XL-304SURC

Package: 3mm (F3)XINGLIGHTLEDs - DiscreteColor: RedLens Type: White DiffusedPackage Size: 3mm (F3)Dominant Wavelength: 620 nmLuminous Intensity: 800 mcd

Finding a substitute for the XL-304SURC 3mm red LED involves matching its package, white diffused lens, and electrical specs. Key parameters to verify are forward voltage (2.2V), current (20mA), and luminous intensity (800 mcd).

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Key electricals like Vf and If are common for this type of LED.

Package risklow

The 3mm (T-1) through-hole package is highly standardized.

Sourcing riskmedium

Availability may vary by region; check distributor stock.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for XL-304SURC should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

The XL-302SURC is a strong candidate, matching key form, fit, and function parameters. For applications less sensitive to lens appearance, the XL-304SURD is a potential functional alternative.

Main risk

The primary risk is substituting with an LED of a different color or forward voltage, which would cause functional failure or require circuit modification.
