GF680 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GF680 is an incandescent lamp designed for 8V applications with a 6mm T-2 form factor and 3AG fuse lead configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The GF670 qualifies as a direct substitute for the GF680 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching parameters: Voltage rating (8V), lens size (6mm, T-2), lens style (round), color (clear), lead style (Fuse - 3AG), moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited), and REACH compliance status (REACH Unaffected).

The GF670 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the GF680 across all specified interface requirements. The primary distinction is the MSCP rating, where GF670 provides 0.64 MSCP compared to GF680's 0.9 MSCP. This difference reflects normal manufacturing variation within the incandescent lamp product family and does not preclude functional substitution in standard 8V lamp applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GF670 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete GF680. Selection of GF670 is supported by:

Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. ROHS3 compliance certification on GF670 provides additional regulatory alignment for new designs and manufacturing environments. Identical electrical specifications (8V rating) and mechanical form factor (6mm T-2 round lens with 3AG fuse leads) ensure direct compatibility in existing circuit applications. Both components maintain equivalent moisture sensitivity and REACH compliance profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GF670 be used as a direct replacement for GF680 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The GF670 maintains identical voltage rating, lens size, lens style, color, and lead configuration. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the significance of the MSCP difference between GF680 and GF670?

A: MSCP (Mean Spherical Candle Power) indicates luminous intensity. GF670 provides 0.64 MSCP versus GF680's 0.9 MSCP. This variation is within normal manufacturing tolerances for incandescent lamps and does not affect electrical compatibility or standard lighting applications.

Q: Why is GF680 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. GF670 is the active equivalent maintained in current manufacturing and inventory.

Q: Are there packaging differences between GF680 and GF670?

A: GF680 packaging is not specified in available data. GF670 is supplied in box packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both GF680 and GF670 are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.10.0020. GF670 additionally carries ROHS3 Compliant certification.
