Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2111AX3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape must be Round
• Panel cutout dimensions must be 0.31" (7.87mm)
• Lens style must be Round with Flat Top
• Termination must be Wire Leads

Electrical Compatibility:

• Type must be Neon
• Lamp color must be Amber
• Voltage rating must accommodate 250V AC operation
• Ratings classification must be AC

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliance required
• REACH Unaffected status required

The 2111A3 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both components share identical mechanical mounting specifications, neon amber lamp technology, and regulatory compliance certifications. The voltage rating of the 2111A3 (208V ~ 250V) encompasses the 250V requirement of the 2111AX3, providing operational compatibility across the specified voltage range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2111A3 serves as the direct substitute for the 2111AX3 based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components are manufactured by VCC within the 2111A series and maintain identical panel mounting specifications and neon amber lamp characteristics.

The 2111A3 voltage rating of 208V ~ 250V AC provides full compatibility with the 250V AC requirement of the 2111AX3. Wire lead termination lengths differ by 0.1" (1.54mm), which does not affect functional compatibility in standard panel mounting applications.

Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing and deployment standards.

The 2111A3 carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it remains available for replacement and maintenance applications while not being selected for new product development. This status is appropriate for substitution in existing systems where the 2111AX3 is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2111A3 directly replace the 2111AX3 in existing panel assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions (0.31" / 7.87mm), round shape, and flat-top lens configuration. Wire lead termination is compatible with standard panel mounting practices.

Q: What is the voltage compatibility between these two parts?

A: The 2111AX3 operates at 250V AC. The 2111A3 operates across a 208V ~ 250V AC range, which encompasses the 250V requirement. Both are rated for AC operation.

Q: Are there differences in wire lead length?

A: The 2111AX3 provides 4.5" (114.30mm) wire leads, while the 2111A3 provides 4.6" (116.84mm) wire leads. This 0.1" difference does not affect standard panel mounting applications.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 2111AX3 and 2111A3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What does the "Not For New Designs" status mean for the 2111A3?

A: This status indicates the 2111A3 is available for replacement, repair, and maintenance applications but is not recommended for incorporation into new product designs. It remains suitable for substitution in existing systems.

Q: Are there any differences in lamp color or lens characteristics?

A: Both components feature amber neon lamps. The 2111A3 specifies clear lens transparency, while the 2111AX3 does not specify this parameter. Both maintain the same round flat-top lens style.
