Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSI-LXR1612GD functions as a substitute for the MPC3GD12V based on alignment in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Application Context: Both parts serve as panel-mounted LED indicators
• Lens Type: Green diffused lens
• Panel Mounting: Flush mount configuration with round panel cutout
• Electrical Ratings: Low voltage LED with defined forward voltage and current specifications
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both components exhibit MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings
• Availability: The substitute part is in active production with confirmed inventory

Substitution is technically valid when the physical mounting requirements and electrical characteristics of the application align with the SSI-LXR1612GD specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSI-LXR1612GD is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete MPC3GD12V. The transition from the original part to the active substitute is driven by product lifecycle status. The SSI-LXR1612GD carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components. Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings at MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental robustness for storage and handling.

Component selection between the original and substitute should be based on circuit compatibility with the specified electrical ratings (2.2V forward voltage, 25mA maximum current) and mechanical fit within the panel cutout dimensions (0.24" round opening).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the MPC3GD12V no longer available? A: The MPC3GD12V is classified as obsolete. Original component availability from the manufacturer is no longer guaranteed.

Q: What determines whether the SSI-LXR1612GD can substitute for the MPC3GD12V? A: Substitution viability depends on three factors: panel mounting compatibility (round 0.24" cutout), electrical compatibility (operation at 2.2V forward voltage with 25mA maximum current), and environmental conditions (both parts rated MSL 1).

Q: Are there any regulatory differences between the parts? A: The SSI-LXR1612GD is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. The MPC3GD12V regulatory status is not specified in available data. Current procurement standards favor ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the viewing angle of the substitute part? A: The SSI-LXR1612GD has a 60° viewing angle with a peak wavelength of 565nm (green spectrum).

Q: Are the packaging formats compatible? A: The SSI-LXR1612GD is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging compatibility depends on assembly line requirements and order quantities.
