Equivalent & Substitute Parts for JKL Components Corp. 7945

Part Overview

The JKL Components Corp. 7945 is an incandescent lamp with a 6.3V rating, clear lens, and bi-pin radial lead configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing maintenance and repair applications. The RT-1 3/4 round domed top design and 0.03 MSCP output define its functional role in lighting circuits requiring low-voltage incandescent illumination.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part identified for the JKL Components Corp. 7945 is Keystone Electronics 7380. However, a critical incompatibility exists between these components that must be clearly stated: the 7945 is an incandescent lamp, while the 7380 is a T1 LED standoff spacer. These components serve fundamentally different functions and operate in different product categories.

The 7380 does not meet the electrical or mechanical substitution criteria for the 7945 because:

• The 7945 is a light-emitting incandescent source requiring 6.3V DC/AC input
• The 7380 is a mechanical standoff for LED mounting with no electrical output characteristics
• No voltage rating, light output (MSCP), or optical properties are shared between these parts
• The lead configurations and physical mounting methods are incompatible

This substitution relationship cannot be validated based on provided technical parameters and should not be used for component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Based on the provided technical data, the Keystone Electronics 7380 cannot be recommended as a functional substitute for the JKL Components Corp. 7945. The parts belong to different product categories with no overlapping electrical or optical specifications.

For applications requiring replacement of the obsolete JKL 7945 incandescent lamp, alternative sources should be evaluated based on:

• Voltage rating match (6.3V)
• Light output requirements (0.03 MSCP minimum)
• Physical form factor (RT-1 3/4 round domed top)
• Lead configuration (radial bi-pin)
• Compliance certifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN classification)

The product status of both components (7945 as obsolete, 7380 as active) does not establish substitutability across different component categories.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Keystone 7380 replace the JKL 7945 in my circuit?

A: No. The 7945 is an incandescent lamp that produces light when powered at 6.3V. The 7380 is a mechanical standoff spacer for LED mounting. These are different component types with no functional overlap.

Q: What parameters determine if a part can substitute for the JKL 7945?

A: A valid substitute must match or exceed the following specifications: 6.3V voltage rating, incandescent lamp type, 0.03 MSCP light output, round domed top lens style (RT-1 3/4), and radial bi-pin lead configuration.

Q: Why is the 7945 listed as obsolete?

A: The 7945 is no longer manufactured by JKL Components Corp. Obsolete status indicates the part has been discontinued and is not available through standard distribution channels.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99). However, compliance matching alone does not establish functional substitutability across different product categories.

Q: What should I do if I need to replace a failed JKL 7945?

A: Contact authorized distributors specializing in incandescent lamps with 6.3V ratings and bi-pin configurations. Verify that candidate parts match all electrical and mechanical parameters listed in the Key Parameters table.
