FL67WL7R Incandescent Panel Indicator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FL67WL7R is an incandescent panel indicator manufactured by Bulgin, designed for 12V applications with red illumination and diffused lens characteristics. This component features wire leads measuring 8" (203.20mm) and a round panel cutout of 0.50" (12.70mm) diameter, suitable for direct panel mounting in control and instrumentation applications.

The FL67WL7R maintains Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts become necessary when addressing supply constraints, lead time requirements, or when transitioning designs to alternative qualified manufacturers while maintaining functional equivalence within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FL67WL7R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical compatibility requires identical voltage rating (12V) and incandescent lamp type. Optical compatibility mandates matching lamp color (red), lens color (red), and lens style (round with flat top). Mechanical compatibility requires identical panel cutout shape (round) and cutout dimensions (0.50" / 12.70mm). Termination compatibility requires wire lead termination style, though lead length may vary within acceptable design tolerances.

Regulatory compliance must maintain ROHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected classification. The substitute part 1090C1-12V satisfies all electrical, optical, and mechanical equivalence criteria while maintaining required compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1090C1-12V from Visual Communications Company (VCC) qualifies as a direct substitute for the FL67WL7R based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

The primary design consideration is termination lead length: the FL67WL7R provides 8" (203.20mm) leads while the 1090C1-12V provides 4.6" (116.84mm) leads. This difference requires evaluation within the specific application context to confirm adequate lead length for panel mounting and circuit connection requirements.

The 1090C1-12V carries a Not For New Designs product status designation. Selection of this substitute should be limited to applications requiring compatibility with existing designs or addressing immediate supply requirements. For new design initiatives, the FL67WL7R maintains Active product status and represents the preferred component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1090C1-12V directly replace the FL67WL7R in existing applications?

A: The 1090C1-12V satisfies all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria for panel mounting and circuit operation. The primary consideration is lead length: the 1090C1-12V provides 4.6" leads versus 8" leads on the FL67WL7R. Confirm that the shorter lead length accommodates your specific panel depth and wiring configuration.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these components?

A: Both components maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Why does the 1090C1-12V have a Not For New Designs status?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle positioning. The component remains functionally qualified and available in inventory. Status designation does not indicate technical deficiency but rather manufacturer support direction for new design initiatives.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution eligibility?

A: Voltage rating (12V), lamp color (red), lens color (red), lens style (round with flat top), panel cutout shape (round), and panel cutout dimensions (0.50" / 12.70mm) must remain identical. Termination lead length may vary within application design tolerances.

Q: Are there any optical performance differences between these indicators?

A: Both components feature identical red lamp color, red lens color, and round flat-top lens style. Optical performance characteristics remain equivalent within the parameters provided.
