Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 405-BA24H-O LED Panel Indicator

Part Overview

The 405-BA24H-O is an amber LED panel indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) designed for 24V applications. This component features a 0.25" (6.35mm) round panel cutout with PC pin termination and delivers 16 millicandela at a 60° viewing angle. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 405-BA24H-O is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (24V) and current rating (17mA) must match exactly to ensure safe operation within the host circuit without modification.

Optical Characteristics: Lamp color (amber), peak wavelength (583nm), and viewing angle (60°) must be identical to maintain visual indication consistency and system functionality.

Mechanical Compatibility: Termination style (PC pin) must be preserved for direct connection to existing PCB layouts. Panel cutout shape (round) must match the mechanical housing.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance status ensures regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

The substitute part PMRL200-BA24H-WT satisfies all critical electrical, optical, and compliance parameters. However, mechanical differences exist in panel cutout dimensions and lens configuration, which require evaluation for specific installation contexts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PMRL200-BA24H-WT qualifies as a functional substitute for the 405-BA24H-O based on matched electrical ratings (24V, 17mA), identical optical characteristics (amber, 583nm, 60° viewing angle), and equivalent compliance status (ROHS3).

The substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete main part.

Mechanical differences require specific evaluation:

The panel cutout dimension increases from 0.25" (6.35mm) to 0.31" (7.87mm). This difference necessitates verification that the mechanical housing accommodates the larger cutout diameter.

The millicandela rating increases from 16mcd to 100mcd. This higher brightness output maintains or exceeds the visual indication capability of the original part.

The substitute part includes specified lens characteristics (5mm T-1 3/4 round with domed top), whereas the main part does not specify these parameters. This lens configuration contributes to the increased brightness output.

Selection of PMRL200-BA24H-WT is appropriate for applications where panel cutout dimensions can be modified or where the existing mechanical housing accommodates the larger diameter. For installations with fixed mechanical constraints, alternative substitutes with matching 0.25" cutout dimensions should be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PMRL200-BA24H-WT be used as a direct replacement for 405-BA24H-O without any modifications?

A: Electrical and optical compatibility is confirmed. Mechanical compatibility depends on the panel cutout diameter. The substitute requires a 0.31" (7.87mm) cutout versus the original 0.25" (6.35mm). If the existing mechanical housing has a fixed cutout, enlargement or adapter modification is necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the millicandela rating difference between the two parts?

A: The 405-BA24H-O provides 16mcd while PMRL200-BA24H-WT provides 100mcd. Both ratings are sufficient for panel indication applications. The higher brightness of the substitute ensures equal or improved visibility. No circuit modification is required as the current rating remains constant at 17mA.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Both the 405-BA24H-O and PMRL200-BA24H-WT are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part is additionally noted as REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes (8541.41.0000).

Q: Why is the 405-BA24H-O classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by VCC. The PMRL200-BA24H-WT represents the active product line continuation with equivalent electrical and optical specifications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 405-BA24H-O packaging type is not specified in available documentation. The PMRL200-BA24H-WT is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for these LED indicators?

A: Both parts are classified as "Not Applicable" for Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), indicating standard handling procedures are appropriate without special moisture control requirements.
