Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 16ESB-10PK is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 16V (exact match required)
• Lamp Type: Incandescent (technology class)
• Lens Size: T-2 (physical form factor)
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top (optical geometry)
• Lead Style: Telephone Slide Base Type 5 Short (mechanical interface)
• Color: Clear (optical transmission)
• Light Output: 7500 MSCP (luminous intensity)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 16ESB- meets all specified parameters and originates from the same manufacturer, ensuring functional and mechanical compatibility within telephone slide lamp applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 16ESB- provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 16ESB-10PK. Both components maintain identical specifications across voltage rating, optical characteristics, lead configuration, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute part carries higher inventory availability (1568 units versus 808 units), supporting sustained supply for applications requiring 16V T-2 incandescent lamps with telephone slide base interfaces.

Both parts carry legacy product status designations, reflecting the mature lifecycle of incandescent lamp technology in this form factor. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory allocation, as functional performance is equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 16ESB- substitute directly for the 16ESB-10PK in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters: 16V voltage rating, T-2 lens size, round flat-top lens style, telephone slide base type 5 short lead configuration, and 7500 MSCP light output. Functional substitution is direct.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging. The 16ESB-10PK is supplied in a 10-pack configuration, while the 16ESB- is supplied in bag packaging. The substitute part also has higher inventory availability. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the main part and substitute.

Q: Why are both parts marked with legacy product status?

A: The 16ESB-10PK is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, and the 16ESB- is marked "Not For New Designs." Both designations reflect the mature lifecycle status of incandescent T-2 lamps in telephone slide applications. However, both parts remain available in inventory for legacy system support and maintenance applications.

Q: Does the different packaging affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The difference is purely in how units are supplied and handled during inventory management.
