Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VCC 4315 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Lens diameter: 7.11mm
• Lens color: Green
• Lens style: Round with flat top
• Material composition: Polycarbonate
• Number of LEDs: 1
• Mounting interface: Snap-In capability
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part CLF_280_GTP shares all primary compatibility criteria with the 4315. Both components feature identical lens diameter, color, style, material, and LED count. Both support snap-in mounting and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The CLF_280_GTP is currently in active production status, ensuring ongoing availability.

Differences in optical pattern (wide versus Fresnel ring) and viewing angle specification do not preclude substitution, as both configurations serve general-purpose LED lens applications with compatible mechanical and electrical interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CLF_280_GTP is the designated substitute for the obsolete VCC 4315 lens cap. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and safety standards.

Product Status: The CLF_280_GTP is in active production with confirmed inventory availability (5020 units), whereas the 4315 is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical lens diameter (7.11mm), material (polycarbonate), and snap-in mounting interface ensure direct mechanical fit in existing LED assemblies designed for the 4315.

Electrical Compatibility: Both components are rated for single LED applications with identical lens style and color specification.

Supply Chain Continuity: Adoption of the CLF_280_GTP eliminates dependency on obsolete component inventory and establishes a sustainable supply chain with an active manufacturer part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CLF_280_GTP directly replace the VCC 4315 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CLF_280_GTP shares identical lens diameter (7.11mm), color (green), lens style (round with flat top), material (polycarbonate), and snap-in mounting interface. Both components are rated for single LED applications and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the wide optical pattern of the 4315 and the Fresnel ring pattern of the CLF_280_GTP?

A: The 4315 features a wide optical pattern with 180° viewing angle. The CLF_280_GTP features a Fresnel ring optical pattern. Both configurations are compatible with general-purpose LED lens applications. Optical pattern selection depends on specific application requirements for light distribution and viewing angle characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 4315 is specified with dash packaging notation. The CLF_280_GTP is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components use identical snap-in mounting interfaces and are compatible with standard LED assembly processes.

Q: Does the CLF_280_GTP support panel mount in addition to snap-in mounting?

A: Yes. The CLF_280_GTP is specified as panel mount with snap-in capability, providing mounting flexibility beyond the snap-in only specification of the 4315.

Q: What is the inventory status of these components?

A: The VCC 4315 is obsolete with 1179 units reported in stock. The CLF_280_GTP is in active production status with 5020 units available, ensuring long-term supply continuity.

Q: Are both components compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 4315 and CLF_280_GTP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety standards.
