Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1050C2 neon panel indicator is determined by the following critical parameters:

Panel Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape must be round
• Panel cutout dimensions must accommodate 0.50" (12.70mm) diameter
• Lens style must be round with flat top configuration

Electrical Compatibility:

• Termination must be wire leads for direct connection
• Ratings must be AC-rated
• Voltage operation must be compatible with 105V ~ 125V AC systems

Regulatory and Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• REACH unaffected status required
• Moisture sensitivity level MSL 1 (unlimited) acceptable

The substitute part 6561009303F from Dialight meets the mechanical panel cutout requirements and maintains equivalent regulatory compliance. However, this substitute operates at 230V AC with LED technology, representing a functional alternative for applications where voltage adjustment or technology migration is feasible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Mechanical Replacement: The 6561009303F satisfies the mechanical panel cutout requirements with identical 0.50" (12.70mm) round dimensions and round flat-top lens configuration. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Voltage Consideration: The substitute part operates at 230V AC, which differs from the 1050C2 specification of 105V ~ 125V AC. System voltage compatibility must be confirmed before selection. The 6561009303F is suitable only for installations with 230V AC supply availability.

Technology Migration: The transition from neon to LED technology in the 6561009303F introduces operational differences including lower current consumption (3mA specified) and different light output characteristics (400mcd millicandela rating). The active product status of the 6561009303F ensures ongoing availability and support compared to the obsolete 1050C2.

Compliance Status: Both components maintain equivalent regulatory compliance with ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected designation, supporting use in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6561009303F directly replace the 1050C2 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical panel cutout compatibility is confirmed (both 0.50" round). However, voltage compatibility must be verified. The 1050C2 operates at 105V ~ 125V AC, while the 6561009303F requires 230V AC. Direct replacement is possible only in systems with 230V AC supply.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Panel cutout shape (round), panel cutout diameter (0.50" / 12.70mm), and lens style (round with flat top) must match. Both the 1050C2 and 6561009303F meet these requirements.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining equivalent regulatory status for use in compliant applications.

Q: How do the termination styles differ?

A: The 1050C2 provides wire leads of 4.6" (116.84mm), while the 6561009303F provides wire leads of 5.84" (148.21mm). Lead length differences may affect installation routing and panel mounting considerations.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1050C2 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 6561009303F is active, ensuring ongoing supply and manufacturer support.

Q: Does the LED technology of the 6561009303F affect performance characteristics?

A: Yes. The 6561009303F operates as an LED indicator with specified current consumption of 3mA and millicandela rating of 400mcd. The 1050C2 neon technology operates differently. Application-specific performance requirements must be evaluated.

Q: Are both components suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Both components specify MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating equivalent environmental tolerance. Specific ingress protection ratings differ: the 1050C2 does not specify ingress protection, while the 6561009303F specifies IP66/IP67 and NEMA 4X.
