Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: 7328-10PK

Part Overview

The 7328-10PK is an incandescent lamp manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), designed as a clear, round domed-top indicator light with 6V rating and bi-pin radial leads. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for applications requiring replacement or redesign.

The primary reason for seeking substitute parts is the obsolete product status, which limits availability through standard distribution channels. Identifying equivalent components ensures design continuity and system reliability in applications where this lamp type is currently deployed.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 7328-10PK is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage Rating: 6V
• Light Output: MSCP 0.6

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Lens Size: RT-1 3/4, 6mm
• Lead Configuration: Radial - Bi-Pin .125

Regulatory & Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity)

The substitute part identified (7328 by Keystone Electronics) is listed in the original manufacturer's substitution field. However, this substitute represents a terminal connector component rather than a direct functional equivalent lamp. This indicates limited direct substitution availability within standard component databases for this specific obsolete incandescent lamp model.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 7328-10PK is classified as obsolete. The listed substitute (7328 by Keystone Electronics) is an active product; however, it functions as a terminal connector rather than an incandescent lamp, indicating it is not a direct functional replacement.

Compliance Status: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, supporting regulatory continuity in applications where compliance is required.

Substitution Limitation: Direct substitution of the 7328-10PK with the listed 7328 part is not recommended for applications requiring incandescent lamp functionality. The substitute part serves a different electrical function (terminal connection) and cannot replicate the light-emitting characteristics of the original component.

Alternative Approach: For applications currently using the 7328-10PK, component redesign using modern LED indicator alternatives with equivalent 6V ratings and similar form factors should be evaluated as a long-term solution to address obsolescence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7328 (Keystone Electronics terminal) directly replace the 7328-10PK incandescent lamp?

A: No. The 7328 is a ring terminal connector designed for electrical connections, not a light-emitting component. It cannot perform the illumination function of the 7328-10PK incandescent lamp.

Q: Why is the 7328 listed as a substitute for the 7328-10PK?

A: The relationship between these part numbers appears to be a designation reference rather than a functional equivalence. The 7328-10PK may have used the 7328 base designation with a packaging suffix (-10PK indicating a 10-pack configuration).

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and maintain MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), supporting use in standard industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What should be done if the 7328-10PK is required for a current application?

A: Evaluate LED indicator lamps with 6V ratings and equivalent optical characteristics (round domed-top lens, 6mm size, bi-pin radial leads) as modern replacements. Alternatively, contact component distributors for remaining inventory of the original 7328-10PK.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for the 7328-10PK?

A: The 7328-10PK designation indicates a 10-pack quantity. Individual units may be available under the base part number 7328-1 or similar variants, depending on distributor inventory.
