Incandescent Lamp JKL Components 2180 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JKL Components 2180 is an incandescent lamp rated at 6.3V with a clear round domed top lens (RT-1 3/4 size) and wire terminal leads. This component is classified as obsolete, with 709 units currently in stock. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and continued operation in legacy applications. The substitute part 2181 provides an active production alternative with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between part 2180 and part 2181 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Both parts are rated at 6.3V
• Type: Both are incandescent lamps
• Color: Both feature clear lens coloring
• Lens Style: Both have round domed top configuration
• Lens Size: Both use RT-1 3/4 dimensions
• Lead Style: Both employ wire terminal connections
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: part 2180 is obsolete while part 2181 is active production. Part 2181 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for continued procurement and system support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 2181 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for part 2180. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (6.3V), mechanical form factors (RT-1 3/4 round domed top with wire terminals), and regulatory compliance profiles (ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected). Selection between these parts should be based on product status and availability requirements:

• For new designs and ongoing procurement: Part 2181 (active production status)
• For legacy system maintenance with existing inventory: Part 2180 remains functionally equivalent until stock depletion
• Both parts satisfy identical circuit requirements and mounting specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 2181 directly replace part 2180 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage ratings (6.3V), lens configurations (round domed top RT-1 3/4), lead styles (wire terminal), and regulatory compliance. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from part 2180 to part 2181?

A: Part 2180 is classified as obsolete, while part 2181 is active production. For long-term system support and future procurement, part 2181 ensures continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Part 2180 packaging is unspecified, while part 2181 is supplied in box packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility or circuit performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical environmental and regulatory standards.
