Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1052CX5 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape and dimensions (Round, 0.50" / 12.70mm)
• Lens style (Round with Flat Top)
• Termination style (Wire Leads – 4.6" / 116.84mm)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Lamp type (Neon)
• Lamp color (Green)
• Voltage rating (AC operation within acceptable range)

Regulatory & Environmental:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)

The 1052C5 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical mechanical dimensions, matching lens configuration, equivalent wire lead length, and compatible voltage operation within the 105V–125V range. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1052CX5 (Obsolete Status)

The 1052CX5 is classified as Obsolete and is no longer manufactured. Replacement with an equivalent part is required for new procurement.

1052C5 (Recommended Substitute)

The 1052C5 is the direct equivalent for the 1052CX5. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications, electrical ratings within the 125V AC operating range, and equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1). The 1052C5 carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating limited availability but continued support for replacement applications.

The 1052C5 is suitable for direct substitution in existing installations and maintenance scenarios where the 1052CX5 is no longer obtainable. The expanded voltage range (105V–125V) of the 1052C5 provides operational compatibility across standard AC line voltage variations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1052C5 be used as a direct replacement for the 1052CX5?

A: Yes. The 1052C5 is a direct substitute. Both parts have identical panel cutout dimensions (0.50" round), matching lens style (round with flat top), equivalent wire lead length (4.6"), and compatible voltage operation. The 1052C5 voltage range (105V–125V) encompasses the 1052CX5 rating (125V).

Q: What is the difference between the 1052CX5 and 1052C5 voltage ratings?

A: The 1052CX5 is rated for 125V AC operation. The 1052C5 is rated for 105V–125V AC operation. The 1052C5 accommodates a wider input voltage range while maintaining compatibility with 125V AC systems.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1052CX5 and 1052C5 are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What packaging is available for the 1052C5?

A: The 1052C5 is supplied in Bag packaging. The 1052CX5 packaging specification was not provided in the available data.

Q: Why is the 1052CX5 marked as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Visual Communications Company. The 1052C5, marked as "Not For New Designs," serves as the available alternative for replacement and maintenance applications.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a 0.50" (12.70mm) round panel cutout, round lens with flat top design, and 4.6" (116.84mm) wire leads. They are mechanically interchangeable.
