Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VCC 4313 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Lens diameter: 7.11mm (fixed requirement)
• Lens style: Round with flat top (fixed requirement)
• Mounting type: Snap-in capability (required)
• Material composition: Polycarbonate (required)
• Single LED application: 1 LED (fixed requirement)

Optical Parameters:

• Color: Amber (required)
• Lens transparency: Clear (acceptable)

Regulatory Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance (required)
• REACH unaffected status (required)

The substitute part CLF_280_ATP meets all mechanical compatibility requirements and regulatory standards. While the optical pattern differs (Fresnel Ring versus Wide), both configurations maintain the same lens diameter, mounting interface, and material specification, enabling direct mechanical substitution in snap-in applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CLF_280_ATP serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete VCC 4313. Selection criteria are based on the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The VCC 4313 is classified as obsolete, while CLF_280_ATP maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1675 units in stock versus 841 units for the 4313).

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical lens diameter (7.11mm), lens geometry (round with flat top), material composition (polycarbonate), and snap-in mounting capability. The CLF_280_ATP additionally supports panel mount configuration, providing expanded application flexibility.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and hazardous substance requirements.

Optical Characteristics: The primary difference lies in optical pattern specification. The 4313 features a wide 180° viewing angle, while the CLF_280_ATP employs a Fresnel ring pattern. Both configurations are designed for single LED applications with amber coloration and clear lens transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLF_280_ATP directly replace VCC 4313 in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical substitution is supported. Both components feature identical 7.11mm lens diameter, round flat-top geometry, polycarbonate construction, and snap-in mounting interface. The CLF_280_ATP additionally supports panel mount configuration. Optical performance will differ due to distinct lens patterns (Fresnel ring versus wide angle).

Q: What is the primary difference between these two lens caps?

A: The optical pattern differs. The VCC 4313 provides a wide 180° viewing angle, while the CLF_280_ATP incorporates a Fresnel ring pattern. Both maintain the same physical dimensions, material specification, and mounting method.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the VCC 4313 and CLF_280_ATP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The VCC 4313 (obsolete) has 841 units available. The CLF_280_ATP (active) has 1675 units in stock, providing greater long-term availability assurance.

Q: Does the CLF_280_ATP support the same mounting configuration?

A: Yes. The CLF_280_ATP supports snap-in mounting identical to the VCC 4313, with the addition of panel mount capability, enabling broader application compatibility.

Q: Are the lens materials identical?

A: Yes. Both components are manufactured from polycarbonate material, ensuring equivalent optical and mechanical properties.
