VCC 715-10PK Incandescent Lamp Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 715-10PK is a discontinued incandescent lamp assembly featuring a clear round domed top lens with RT-1 wire terminal configuration, rated for 5V operation. This component was designed for indicator and signaling applications requiring low-voltage illumination with 0.15 MSCP output.

Due to discontinuation at DiGi Electronics, identification of functionally equivalent substitute components is necessary for design continuity, maintenance, and repair applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility (5V rating, 0.15 MSCP output) and mechanical compatibility (wire terminal lead style) to ensure direct replacement capability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: CEC Industries 715

The CEC Industries 715 component is the appropriate substitute for the discontinued VCC 715-10PK based on the following engineering criteria:

  1. Electrical Equivalence: Both components operate at 5V with identical 0.15 MSCP luminous intensity output, ensuring functional performance parity in indicator and signaling circuits.

  2. Mechanical Compatibility: Wire terminal lead style is identical, enabling direct connection to existing circuit designs without modification.

  3. Optical Compatibility: T-1 lens classification with round domed top configuration provides equivalent light distribution and physical form factor for mounting in standard indicator lamp sockets.

  4. Regulatory Compliance: CEC Industries 715 maintains EAR99 export classification and ROHS3 compliance status, consistent with the original component specifications.

  5. Product Status: CEC Industries 715 is listed as Active, ensuring continued availability for procurement and supply chain continuity.

  6. Packaging Consideration: CEC Industries 715 is supplied in bulk packaging (Box of 10), whereas VCC 715-10PK was supplied in 10-pack configuration. Procurement quantities should account for this packaging difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CEC Industries 715 be used as a direct replacement for the VCC 715-10PK?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (5V, 0.15 MSCP), wire terminal lead configuration, and T-1/RT-1 lens classification. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

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

A: RT-1 and T-1 are equivalent physical classifications for incandescent lamp lens sizes. Both designations refer to the same standard form factor used in indicator lamp applications. The components are mechanically and optically compatible.

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

A: No. Both components carry EAR99 export classification and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance status. The CEC Industries 715 is ROHS3 compliant, consistent with the original VCC component.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these components?

A: The VCC 715-10PK was supplied in a 10-pack configuration. The CEC Industries 715 is supplied in bulk packaging (Box of 10). Procurement planning should account for packaging unit differences when ordering replacement inventory.

Q: Is the luminous intensity output identical between both components?

A: Yes. Both components are rated at 0.15 MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power), providing identical brightness output for indicator and signaling applications.

Q: Can the CEC Industries 715 be used in applications originally designed for the VCC 715-10PK?

A: Yes. Electrical, mechanical, and optical specifications are equivalent. The CEC Industries 715 is suitable for all applications where the VCC 715-10PK was originally specified.
