Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 36EN-2311 is based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical dimensions and electrical ratings. The substitute part 36EN-2111 qualifies as a direct equivalent because it maintains identical specifications in the following key parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Both parts operate at 125V
• Lamp Type: Both are neon technology
• Lens Color: Both provide red indication
• Panel Cutout Geometry: Both feature 0.31" (7.87mm) round cutout
• Lens Dimensions: Both have 7.54mm diameter round lens with flat top
• Termination: Both use 6" (152.40mm) wire leads
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

No deviations exist in the provided parameters between the main part and substitute part. Substitution is valid for direct replacement in panel indicator applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 36EN-2111 is a direct parametric equivalent to the 36EN-2311 and qualifies for substitution in all applications where the main part is currently specified. Both parts are classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating they are legacy components. Selection between these two parts should be based on availability and inventory status rather than technical differentiation, as all electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions, eliminating moisture sensitivity as a selection factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 36EN-2111 be used as a direct replacement for 36EN-2311?

A: Yes. The 36EN-2111 is a parametric equivalent with identical voltage rating (125V), lens color (red), panel cutout dimensions (0.31" / 7.87mm round), lens size (7.54mm diameter), lens style (round with flat top), and wire lead length (6" / 152.40mm). Direct substitution is valid.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical panel cutout geometry (0.31" round), lens dimensions (7.54mm diameter), and termination style (6" wire leads). Panel mounting and electrical connection are mechanically identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both 36EN-2311 and 36EN-2111 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 rating. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: Why are both parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This classification indicates these are legacy neon indicator products. While suitable for replacement and maintenance of existing equipment, they are not recommended for new product development. Substitution between these parts is appropriate only for sustaining existing applications.

Q: What is the significance of the 6" wire lead length?

A: The 6" (152.40mm) wire leads define the electrical connection method and distance from the panel cutout to the termination points. Both substitute parts maintain this specification, ensuring compatibility with existing wiring harnesses and connection points.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging. The 36EN-2111 has higher inventory availability (2702 pcs) compared to 36EN-2311 (1035 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.
