VCC 714 Incandescent Lamp Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 714 is an incandescent lamp classified as a sub-midget flange type with a clear round domed top lens, rated for 5V operation. This component is designated as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for applications requiring continued functionality or inventory replenishment. The lamp produces 0.09 MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power) and is designed for use in indicator and signaling applications where compact form factor and low voltage operation are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part identified for the VCC 714 is the Hammond Manufacturing 718. However, a critical incompatibility exists between these components that prevents direct substitution.

The VCC 714 is an incandescent lamp with the following defining characteristics:

• Voltage Rating: 5V
• Type: Incandescent light source
• Lens Size: RT-1 sub-midget flange
• Application: Indicator/signaling lamp

The Hammond Manufacturing 718 is a power transformer with the following characteristics:

• Type: Laminated core power transformer
• Voltage - Primary: 115V
• Voltage - Secondary: 1250V
• Power Rating: 235VA
• Application: Power conversion and isolation

These components operate in fundamentally different functional categories. The VCC 714 is a light-emitting component, while the Hammond 718 is a power conversion component. No electrical or mechanical parameter alignment exists between these parts that would support substitution in any application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Based on the provided component data, the Hammond Manufacturing 718 cannot serve as a substitute for the VCC 714 due to fundamental functional incompatibility. The VCC 714 is an incandescent lamp designed for indicator applications, while the Hammond 718 is a power transformer designed for voltage conversion and isolation.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification status. However, these shared compliance attributes do not establish substitution viability when the components serve entirely different functional purposes within electronic systems.

For applications requiring replacement of the obsolete VCC 714 incandescent lamp, alternative sources must be identified within the incandescent lamp component category, specifically targeting sub-midget flange lamps rated for 5V operation with RT-1 lens configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Hammond Manufacturing 718 replace the VCC 714 in my application?

A: No. The Hammond 718 is a power transformer, while the VCC 714 is an incandescent lamp. These components serve different functions and cannot be substituted for one another.
