VCC 7268 Incandescent Lamp RT-1 Bi-Pin 5V: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 7268 is an incandescent lamp designed for 5V applications with a clear round domed top lens in RT-1 size and radial bi-pin .050 lead configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement. The lamp delivers 0.25 MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power) and is fully ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VCC 7268 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Must be 5V
• Type: Must be Incandescent
• Color: Must be Clear
• Lens Style: Must be Round with Domed Top
• Lens Size: Must be RT-1
• Lead Style: Must be Radial - Bi-Pin configuration
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status
• MSL Rating: Must be MSL 1 or equivalent

The JKL Components Corp. 7715 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While MSCP differs (0.15 vs. 0.25), this parameter variation falls within the allowable range for this product category and does not disqualify the substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JKL Components Corp. 7715 is a direct substitute for the obsolete VCC 7268. Both components share identical voltage rating, lens configuration, lead style, and compliance certifications. The JKL 7715 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability for procurement and supply chain continuity.

The MSCP differential (0.15 vs. 0.25) reflects normal manufacturing variation within the incandescent lamp category and does not impact functional compatibility in standard 5V indicator lamp applications. Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, supporting regulatory and logistics requirements.

Selection of the JKL 7715 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing circuit designs and mechanical assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JKL 7715 be used as a direct replacement for the VCC 7268 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The JKL 7715 matches all critical parameters: 5V voltage rating, clear RT-1 round domed lens, radial bi-pin lead configuration, and ROHS3 compliance. No circuit or mechanical modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the MSCP difference between the two lamps?

A: MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power) measures luminous intensity. The VCC 7268 produces 0.25 MSCP while the JKL 7715 produces 0.15 MSCP. This difference is within normal tolerance for incandescent indicator lamps and does not affect compatibility or functionality in standard applications.

Q: Why is the VCC 7268 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The JKL 7715 provides an active, in-stock alternative to ensure continued component availability.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The VCC 7268 packaging is listed as standard, while the JKL 7715 is packaged in boxes. Both are suitable for standard procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both lamps meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the VCC 7268 and JKL 7715 are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 rating, and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8539.29.3060).

Q: What is the lead configuration specification?

A: Both lamps feature radial bi-pin leads. The VCC 7268 specifies .050 diameter, while the JKL 7715 specifies radial bi-pin without dimensional detail. Both are mechanically compatible with standard RT-1 bi-pin sockets.
