Is there a pin-compatible replacement for XL-304SURD?

Yes, parts like XL-304SURC are pin-compatible. They share the same 3mm through-hole package and 2-pin layout. However, verify the lens color and brightness are acceptable for your application.

What risks should I check before replacing XL-304SURD?

The main points to verify are the lens color (white vs. red diffused, affecting 'off' appearance) and the higher luminous intensity (800mcd vs. 600mcd), which may be undesirable in some user interfaces.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Key electricals like Vf and If match.

Package risklow

Package is a direct physical match.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact drop-in replacement is identified. XL-304SURC is a close functional match but has a white diffused lens instead of red.

Best replacement path

Use XL-304SURC or XL-302SURC for a functional match, noting the lens color difference.

Main risk

The primary risk is aesthetic; the replacement's white lens changes the unlit appearance compared to the original's red lens.

Recommended alternatives

A 3mm red LED with matching voltage and current, but a different lens color (white diffused) and higher brightness.
