Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M22N-BC-TAA-AE qualifies as a substitute for the M22R-EA-T2 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Lamp color: Blue
• Panel cutout shape: Round
• Panel cutout dimensions: 0.88" (22.30mm to 22.35mm—within tolerance)
• Lens style: Round with Flat Top
• AC voltage rating: Both operate on AC supply
• Ingress protection: M22N-BC-TAA-AE provides IP66, exceeding the M22R-EA-T2 IP65 requirement
• Moisture sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN and HTSUS classification: Identical

Voltage Consideration: The substitute operates at 230VAC versus the original 220VAC specification. Both voltages fall within the standard European AC supply range and are functionally compatible for panel indicator applications where voltage tolerance is inherent to AC-rated LED indicators.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M22N-BC-TAA-AE is suitable as a substitute for the obsolete M22R-EA-T2 in applications requiring blue LED panel indication at AC voltage. The substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity. The M22N-BC-TAA-AE provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66 versus IP65) and meets ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements, making it appropriate for modern equipment designs and regulatory environments.

The 230VAC rating of the substitute is compatible with 220VAC system specifications, as both fall within standard AC supply tolerances for industrial control and signaling applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M22N-BC-TAA-AE directly replace the M22R-EA-T2 in existing panel cutouts?

A: Yes. Both indicators share identical round panel cutout dimensions (0.88" / 22.30–22.35mm) and lens style (Round with Flat Top), allowing direct mechanical and electrical substitution without panel modification.

Q: What is the voltage compatibility between 220VAC and 230VAC?

A: Both 220VAC and 230VAC are standard AC supply voltages used in industrial applications. AC-rated LED indicators are designed to operate across this voltage range without performance degradation. The M22N-BC-TAA-AE is rated for 230VAC operation and is functionally compatible with 220VAC systems.

Q: Does the M22N-BC-TAA-AE provide better environmental protection?

A: Yes. The substitute offers IP66 ingress protection plus NEMA 4X and 13 ratings, compared to the original IP65 rating. This provides enhanced protection against moisture and contaminants, suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Q: What is the current consumption of the substitute?

A: The M22N-BC-TAA-AE operates at 2mA. The original M22R-EA-T2 current specification was not provided in the available data.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The M22R-EA-T2 is supplied in standard packaging, while the M22N-BC-TAA-AE is available in bulk packaging. Both are from the same manufacturer and meet identical compliance classifications.

Q: Is the M22N-BC-TAA-AE compliant with modern regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulations for electronic components in the European Union and other regulated markets.
