Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VCC 4317 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute components:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Yellow
• Lens Size: 7.11mm Dia
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Number of LEDs: 1
• Mounting Type: Snap-In
• Material: Polycarbonate
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitute CLF_280_YTP maintains all primary compatibility criteria. Variations in optical pattern (Wide versus Fresnel Ring) and viewing angle specification do not preclude substitution, as both configurations serve general-purpose LED applications with the same physical form factor and mounting interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CLF_280_YTP serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete VCC 4317. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The CLF_280_YTP maintains active product status with 2867 units in current inventory, ensuring supply continuity for applications previously served by the VCC 4317.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components satisfy ROHS3 and REACH requirements, maintaining compliance with current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Physical and Functional Compatibility: Identical lens diameter (7.11mm), lens style (round with flat top), color (yellow), and snap-in mounting interface ensure direct mechanical compatibility in existing assemblies.

Optical Characteristics: While the VCC 4317 specifies a 180° wide viewing angle and the CLF_280_YTP features a Fresnel ring optical pattern, both configurations are designed for general-purpose LED applications and maintain the same physical form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CLF_280_YTP directly replace the VCC 4317 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CLF_280_YTP maintains identical lens diameter (7.11mm), lens style (round with flat top), color (yellow), material (polycarbonate), and snap-in mounting interface. Physical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the 180° wide viewing angle and Fresnel ring optical pattern?

A: The VCC 4317 specifies a wide optical pattern with 180° viewing angle. The CLF_280_YTP features a Fresnel ring optical pattern. Both configurations are designed for general-purpose single LED applications and maintain identical physical dimensions and mounting characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The VCC 4317 is specified with dash packaging notation, while the CLF_280_YTP is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect component functionality or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the VCC 4317 and CLF_280_YTP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: Why is the VCC 4317 classified as obsolete?

A: The VCC 4317 is no longer in active production. The CLF_280_YTP represents the current active equivalent from Visual Communications Company for this lens cap category.
