Equivalent & Substitute Parts for VCC 1096 Incandescent Lamp

Part Overview

The VCC 1096 is an incandescent lamp designed for 12.5V applications with a clear lens, round domed top configuration, and double-contact bayonet base (RRP-11). This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

The lamp delivers 50 MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power) and is suitable for indicator and illumination applications requiring standard incandescent technology. Due to its obsolete status, substitute parts must match critical electrical and mechanical parameters to ensure direct compatibility.

Key Parameters

Parameter	Value	Substitution Relevance
Voltage Rating	12.5V	Critical - must match exactly
MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power)	50	Critical - determines light output
Lens Size	RRP-11 / RP-11	Critical - physical form factor
Lead Style	Bayonet Base	Critical - mechanical interface
Lens Style	Round with Domed Top	Important - optical and mechanical fit
Type	Incandescent	Critical - technology type
Color	Clear	Important - optical transmission
RoHS Status	ROHS3 Compliant	Regulatory - environmental compliance

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VCC 1096 is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

Voltage rating must be 12.5V
Light output (MSCP) must be 50 to maintain functional equivalence

Mechanical Compatibility:

Lens size designation must be RRP-11 or RP-11 (equivalent designations)
Bayonet base configuration required for socket compatibility
Round domed top lens style required for physical fit

Regulatory Compliance:

RoHS compliance status must be maintained or exceeded

The CEC Industries 1195 qualifies as a substitute based on matching voltage (12.5V), light output (50 MSCP), lens size (RP-11), and bayonet base configuration. However, a critical difference exists in the base contact configuration: the VCC 1096 uses double-contact bayonet (RRP-11), while the CEC 1195 uses single-contact bayonet (BA15S). This difference must be evaluated against specific socket requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Parameter	VCC 1096	CEC Industries 1195	Match Status

Lens Size	RRP-11	RP-11	Equivalent designation
Lead Style	Bayonet - Double Contact	Bayonet - Single Contact (BA15S)	Different contact configuration
Lens Style	Round with Domed Top	Not specified in substitute data	Assumed compatible
Type	Incandescent	Incandescent	Match
Color	Clear	Not specified in substitute data	Assumed compatible
RoHS Status	ROHS3 Compliant	RoHS Compliant	Match
Product Status	Obsolete	Active	Substitute is current production

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration - Base Contact Configuration:

The VCC 1096 features a double-contact bayonet base (RRP-11), while the CEC Industries 1195 features a single-contact bayonet base (BA15S). These are mechanically and electrically distinct interfaces. Substitution is only valid if the receiving socket is designed to accept single-contact bayonet bases.

Electrical and Optical Equivalence:

Both lamps operate at 12.5V and deliver 50 MSCP, establishing electrical and optical functional equivalence for applications where light output and voltage are the primary design criteria.

Regulatory Compliance:

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for current production systems.

Availability and Product Status:

The VCC 1096 is obsolete with 978 units in stock. The CEC Industries 1195 is active production with 744 units available, providing long-term sourcing stability.

Substitution Validity:

The CEC 1195 is a valid substitute only when the application socket accommodates single-contact bayonet bases. Direct socket compatibility must be confirmed before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CEC Industries 1195 be used as a direct replacement for the VCC 1096?

A: Substitution depends on socket compatibility. Both lamps match in voltage (12.5V) and light output (50 MSCP). However, the VCC 1096 uses a double-contact bayonet base while the CEC 1195 uses a single-contact bayonet base. The receiving socket must be designed to accept the single-contact configuration.

Q: What is the difference between RRP-11 and RP-11 lens designations?

A: RRP-11 and RP-11 are equivalent designations for the same physical lens size. Both refer to a round lens with domed top configuration measuring 11mm in diameter.

Q: Are there electrical differences between double-contact and single-contact bayonet bases?

A: Double-contact bases provide two electrical connection points, while single-contact bases provide one. The electrical function depends on the circuit design. Substitution is valid only if the circuit and socket are designed for single-contact operation.

Q: What is the significance of the MSCP rating?

A: MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power) measures light output intensity. Both the VCC 1096 and CEC 1195 deliver 50 MSCP, ensuring equivalent illumination performance in applications where this output level is specified.

Q: Is the CEC 1195 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the CEC Industries 1195 is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory standards equivalent to the VCC 1096 ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What packaging is available for the CEC 1195?

A: The CEC Industries 1195 is supplied in bulk packaging (Box of 10 units), differing from the VCC 1096 packaging specification.
