MF200-NFW12H LED Lamp T-1 3/4 Flange Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MF200-NFW12H is an active-status LED lamp replacement designed for general purpose lighting applications. This component features a T-1 3/4 form factor with midget flange base configuration, rated at 12V forward voltage with 280mcd luminous intensity output in white color. The part is manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified to address application requirements where alternative voltage specifications or inventory availability necessitate component selection from the MF200 series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the MF200 series are identified based on the following criteria that determine functional interchangeability:

Preserved Parameters (Must Match for Substitution):

• Series designation: MF200
• Physical form factor: T - 1 3/4
• Base type: Midget Flange
• Color: White
• Millicandela rating: 280mcd
• Configuration: Single
• Applications: General Purpose Lighting
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH status: REACH Unaffected
• Packaging: Bulk

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 12V (main part) vs. 5V (substitute part)

The MF200-NFW5H is classified as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mechanical and optical specifications while operating at a different forward voltage rating. This substitution is valid when the application circuit operates at 5V instead of 12V.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MF200-NFW12H Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 12V forward voltage operation
• Systems designed for 12V DC supply circuits
• Active product status with established supply chain
• ROHS3 compliance required for regulated markets
• MSL Level 1 rating suitable for unlimited storage conditions

MF200-NFW5H Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 5V forward voltage operation
• Systems designed for 5V DC supply circuits or low-voltage logic circuits
• Active product status with established supply chain
• ROHS3 compliance required for regulated markets
• Identical optical and mechanical specifications to main part

Both parts maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). Selection between these parts is determined solely by the system voltage requirement: 12V or 5V forward voltage operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MF200-NFW5H be used as a direct replacement for MF200-NFW12H?

A: Direct mechanical and optical replacement is possible due to identical T-1 3/4 form factor, midget flange base, and 280mcd output. However, electrical compatibility requires the application circuit to operate at 5V forward voltage. If the circuit is designed for 12V operation, the MF200-NFW5H will not function correctly.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: The sole difference is the forward voltage rating: MF200-NFW12H operates at 12V, while MF200-NFW5H operates at 5V. All other parameters including physical dimensions, base type, color, luminous intensity, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both MF200-NFW12H and MF200-NFW5H are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these parts?

A: MF200-NFW12H has MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. MF200-NFW5H has MSL Not Applicable, also indicating no moisture sensitivity concerns.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: No. These parts are voltage-specific and must match the circuit's forward voltage requirement. Using a 5V part in a 12V circuit or vice versa will result in improper operation or component failure.

Q: What applications are these parts suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for general purpose lighting applications with T-1 3/4 midget flange base configuration, suitable for indicator and replacement lamp functions.
