6013MX5 Neon Panel Indicator Green – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6013MX5 is a neon panel indicator with green lamp color, designed for AC applications at 208V to 250V. This component features wire leads with 4.6" (116.84mm) length and a round domed lens with 9.90mm diameter. The part is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it is a legacy component. Finding equivalent or substitute parts is necessary for maintenance, repair, and replacement applications where the original part is unavailable or inventory is depleted.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of neon panel indicators is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for substitution are:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating (208V ~ 250V AC)
• Lamp color (Green)
• Type (Neon)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel cutout shape (Round)
• Panel cutout dimensions (0.38" / 9.65mm)
• Lens style (Round with Domed Top)
• Termination style (Wire Leads - 4.6" / 116.84mm)

Compliance & Certification:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1

Parts are grouped as substitutes only when all critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specification. Deviations in panel cutout dimensions or lens configuration result in mechanical incompatibility and disqualify a part from direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

6013M5 – Parametric Equivalent: The 6013M5 is a parametric equivalent to the 6013MX5. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (208V ~ 250V AC), mechanical dimensions (0.38" panel cutout, 9.90mm lens diameter), lens configuration (Round with Domed Top), and termination style (Wire Leads - 4.6"). Both maintain NEMA 13 ingress protection and oil resistance. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 6013M5 is available in higher inventory (1920 units) and is suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring the 6013MX5.

1053A5 – Similar Part with Mechanical Deviation: The 1053A5 shares electrical compatibility (208V ~ 250V AC, Green neon lamp) and termination style (Wire Leads - 4.6") with the 6013MX5. However, the panel cutout dimension differs: 0.50" (12.70mm) versus 0.38" (9.65mm). This mechanical deviation prevents direct substitution in existing panel installations designed for the 6013MX5 cutout specification. The 1053A5 is suitable only for applications where panel cutout dimensions can accommodate the larger 0.50" opening. The 1053A5 is available in the highest inventory (2194 units) and maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Both substitute parts are classified as "Not For New Designs," consistent with the main part status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6013M5 be used as a direct replacement for the 6013MX5? A: Yes. The 6013M5 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, lens configuration, and termination specifications. Direct substitution is supported without modification.

Q: What is the key difference between the 6013MX5 and the 1053A5? A: The primary difference is the panel cutout dimension. The 6013MX5 requires a 0.38" (9.65mm) round cutout, while the 1053A5 requires a 0.50" (12.70mm) round cutout. Both share the same voltage rating, green lamp color, and wire lead termination. The 1053A5 cannot be installed in a panel designed for the 6013MX5 without enlarging the cutout opening.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. The 6013MX5, 6013M5, and 1053A5 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the NEMA 13 ingress protection rating? A: NEMA 13 provides protection against dust, spraying water, and oil. Both the 6013MX5 and 6013M5 carry this rating. The 1053A5 ingress protection rating is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Can these neon indicators be used in new designs? A: No. All three parts are classified as "Not For New Designs." They are suitable for maintenance, repair, and replacement of existing installations only.

Q: What is the wire lead length for all substitute parts? A: All three parts feature wire leads with 4.6" (116.84mm) length, ensuring consistent termination compatibility.

Q: Which part has the highest inventory availability? A: The 1053A5 has the highest inventory with 2194 units in stock, followed by the 6013M5 with 1920 units, and the 6013MX5 with 735 units.

Q: Is the lens color specification important for substitution? A: The 6013MX5 and 6013M5 do not specify lens color in their data. The 1053A5 specifies lens color as green. All three parts have green lamp color, which is the functional indicator color. Lens color specification does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution compatibility.
