Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BA15D230 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Socket type: BA15D (bayonet base, 15mm diameter)
• Voltage rating: 230 volts
• Lamp function: Illumination or indicator application
• Physical compatibility: Mechanical fit within BA15D socket

The substitute part MCB155230D meets these criteria as an LED-based replacement for the BA15D socket operating at 230 volts DC. While the original part is a filament bulb and the substitute is an LED lamp, both are designed for the same socket interface and voltage class, making them functionally interchangeable in applications where the light source technology transition is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MCB155230D is an active product with current manufacturing status, providing supply reliability compared to the obsolete BA15D230. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements for electronic components.

The primary consideration is the voltage specification difference: the original part operates at 230 volts AC, while the substitute operates at 230 volts DC. Circuit compatibility must be verified to ensure the application can accommodate DC operation. The LED technology of the substitute offers extended operational life and reduced power consumption compared to the filament design.

Socket compatibility is confirmed for both parts, as both utilize the BA15D bayonet base interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCB155230D directly replace BA15D230 in all applications?

A: Both parts share the BA15D socket interface and 230-volt rating. However, the voltage type differs: BA15D230 operates on AC while MCB155230D operates on DC. Verify your circuit supplies the correct voltage type before substitution.

Q: What is the primary advantage of the MCB155230D substitute?

A: The MCB155230D is an active product with current availability, whereas BA15D230 is obsolete. Additionally, MCB155230D provides ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, meeting current regulatory standards.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both parts use the BA15D socket interface, ensuring mechanical fit. No adapter or modification is required for socket installation.

Q: Does the LED technology of MCB155230D affect performance?

A: LED lamps provide longer operational life and lower power consumption than filament bulbs. The amber color specification of MCB155230D should be verified against application requirements if color matching is critical.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: BA15D230 has 1,158 pieces in stock as new original inventory. MCB155230D has 781 pieces in stock as new original inventory.
