Equivalent & Substitute Parts for VCC 6150 Incandescent Lamp

Part Overview

The VCC 6150 is an incandescent lamp with RT-1 wire terminal configuration, rated for 5V operation. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it is a legacy product. The clear lens with domed top design and 0.15 MSCP output make it suitable for indicator and signaling applications in established systems. Due to its discontinued design status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for maintenance, repair, and ongoing system support where original components are unavailable.

Key Parameters

Parameter	Value	Significance for Substitution
Voltage Rating	5V	Critical electrical parameter; substitutes must match exactly
Type	Incandescent	Defines lamp technology; substitutes must use same technology
MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power)	0.15	Defines light output intensity; substitutes must match for consistent brightness
Lead Style	Wire Terminal	Determines electrical connection method; substitutes must use identical termination
Lens Size	RT-1 / T-1	Determines physical form factor and mounting compatibility
Color	Clear	Optical characteristic; substitutes must maintain clear lens specification
RoHS Status	ROHS3 Compliant	Environmental compliance requirement for regulated applications

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VCC 6150 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

Voltage Rating: 5V (exact match required)
Lead Style: Wire Terminal (exact match required)
MSCP: 0.15 (exact match required)
Type: Incandescent (exact match required)
Color: Clear (exact match required)

Compatible Lens Designations: The VCC 6150 uses RT-1 lens size. The CEC Industries 715 uses T-1 lens size. Both designations refer to the same physical form factor in incandescent lamp standards (1/8 inch diameter bulb), making them mechanically and optically interchangeable.

Compliance Considerations: Both the main part and substitute maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and are compliant with applicable environmental regulations. The substitute part (CEC 715) does not list MSL classification, indicating it is not subject to moisture sensitivity requirements.

ECCN	EAR99	EAR99	Match

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: CEC Industries 715

The CEC Industries 715 is the qualified substitute for the VCC 6150 based on complete alignment of all critical electrical and optical parameters: 5V voltage rating, 0.15 MSCP light output, incandescent technology, and wire terminal lead style. The T-1 lens designation is mechanically and optically equivalent to RT-1 in standard incandescent lamp specifications.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain EAR99 export classification. The CEC 715 is an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the VCC 6150 is designated "Not For New Designs," making the CEC substitute the appropriate choice for ongoing system maintenance and component replenishment.

Packaging Consideration: The VCC 6150 is supplied in bag packaging, while the CEC 715 is supplied in bulk packaging (box of 10 units). Procurement quantities should account for this packaging difference.

Inventory Availability: CEC Industries 715 units are currently in stock (1043 pieces), providing reliable supply for replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CEC Industries 715 directly replace the VCC 6150 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both lamps share identical electrical specifications (5V, 0.15 MSCP), incandescent technology, and wire terminal configuration. The T-1 and RT-1 lens designations are mechanically and optically equivalent in standard incandescent lamp form factors.

Q: What is the difference between RT-1 and T-1 lens sizes?

A: Both designations refer to the same physical bulb diameter (1/8 inch) and form factor. RT-1 and T-1 are equivalent lens size classifications in incandescent lamp standards. The domed top characteristic is standard for both.

Q: Why is the VCC 6150 marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the product is in end-of-life status and is not recommended for new system development. However, it remains suitable for maintenance and repair of existing systems. The CEC 715 substitute is an active product recommended for ongoing applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and maintain equivalent environmental compliance status. The CEC 715 does not list MSL classification, indicating it is not subject to moisture sensitivity handling requirements, which may simplify storage and handling procedures.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or optical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bag versus bulk box) affects only procurement and inventory management, not component performance or compatibility.

Q: What inventory quantities should be ordered?

A: The CEC 715 is supplied in boxes of 10 units. Procurement should be planned in multiples of 10 to align with standard packaging.
