Equivalent & Substitute Parts for VCC 1052A6 Neon Panel Indicator

Part Overview

The VCC 1052A6 is a neon panel indicator lamp designed for 105V to 125V AC applications with blue illumination and wire lead termination. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The 0.50" round panel cutout and 4.6" wire leads establish the mechanical interface requirements for substitution evaluation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VCC 1092A6-125VAC qualifies as a functional substitute for the 1052A6 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape: Round (matching)
• Panel cutout dimensions: 0.50" (12.70mm) (matching)
• Lens style: Round with Domed Top (matching)
• Termination style: Wire Leads - 4.6" (116.84mm) (matching)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating: 125V AC (within the 105V-125V range of the original)
• Ratings: AC (matching)
• Lamp color: Blue (matching visual requirement)

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (matching)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (matching)

The primary distinction is the technology transition from neon to LED, which represents a functional upgrade rather than a direct equivalent. The 1092A6-125VAC maintains all mechanical interfaces and electrical voltage compatibility while offering enhanced brightness (3200mcd) and reduced power consumption (25mA).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement Applications:

The VCC 1092A6-125VAC serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete 1052A6. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces (0.50" round panel cutout, round domed lens, 4.6" wire leads) and are rated for 125V AC operation. The substitute is currently in active production status with 970 units in stock, compared to the obsolete status of the original part.

Regulatory and Compliance Alignment:

Both the 1052A6 and 1092A6-125VAC carry ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and safety regulations. No additional compliance modifications are required for substitution in existing designs.

Technology Consideration:

The transition from neon to LED technology in the 1092A6-125VAC introduces operational differences including reduced power consumption (25mA) and increased brightness output (3200mcd). These characteristics do not compromise substitution validity but represent functional enhancements suitable for panel indicator applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1092A6-125VAC directly replace the 1052A6 in existing panel assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1092A6-125VAC maintains identical panel cutout dimensions (0.50" round), lens style (round with domed top), and wire lead termination (4.6"). No mechanical modifications to the panel assembly are required.

Q: What is the voltage compatibility between the 1052A6 and 1092A6-125VAC?

A: The 1052A6 is rated for 105V to 125V AC operation. The 1092A6-125VAC is rated for 125V AC operation. The substitute operates at the upper voltage range of the original part, ensuring compatibility in circuits designed for the 1052A6.

Q: Are there differences in power consumption between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1092A6-125VAC LED indicator draws 25mA at 125V AC. The 1052A6 neon lamp specifications do not include current rating in the provided data. LED technology typically results in lower power consumption compared to neon equivalents.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1052A6 and 1092A6-125VAC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety standards.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The 1052A6 is classified as obsolete. The 1092A6-125VAC is in active production with 970 units currently in stock, providing reliable supply for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are the lens colors identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both the 1052A6 and 1092A6-125VAC feature blue lamp color and blue lens color, maintaining visual consistency in panel indicator applications.
