Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1050N3 neon panel indicator is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the original and substitute component:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape (round)
• Panel cutout dimensions (0.50" / 12.70mm)
• Termination style (wire leads with 4.6" length)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating within or overlapping the 105V to 125V AC range
• AC rating designation
• Amber lamp color and amber lens color for visual consistency

Regulatory Compliance:

• ROHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• EAR99 ECCN classification

The 1092C3-125VAC substitute part satisfies these substitution criteria through matching mechanical interface dimensions, compatible voltage rating (125V AC), identical amber color specification, equivalent wire lead termination, and alignment with all regulatory compliance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1092C3-125VAC LED panel indicator serves as a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for the obsolete 1050N3 neon indicator. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions (0.50" round), matching wire lead termination specifications (4.6" length), and compatible AC voltage ratings within the 125V specification range.

The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component. The 1092C3-125VAC is classified as active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1050N3.

Both components feature amber lamp and lens colors, supporting visual consistency in panel indicator applications. The substitute part's LED technology operates at 25mA current draw with 13000mcd brightness rating, providing functional illumination equivalent to the original neon design within the specified 125V AC operating environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1092C3-125VAC directly replace the 1050N3 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical 0.50" round panel cutout dimensions and 4.6" wire lead termination, enabling direct mechanical installation. The 125V AC rating of the substitute part is compatible with the 105V to 125V range of the original component.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 1050N3 and 1092C3-125VAC?

A: The 1050N3 uses neon lamp technology, while the 1092C3-125VAC uses LED technology. Both deliver amber illumination and operate on AC voltage. The LED substitute provides higher brightness (13000mcd) and lower current consumption (25mA).

Q: Are there any compliance concerns with substituting the 1050N3?

A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Q: Does the lens style difference affect substitution compatibility?

A: The 1050N3 features a square lens with flat top, while the 1092C3-125VAC features a round lens with flat top. Both lens styles accommodate the 0.50" round panel cutout. Lens style selection depends on aesthetic and optical requirements of the specific application.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The 1050N3 is obsolete with 793 units in stock. The 1092C3-125VAC is active product with 1067 units in stock, providing assured future availability.
