When transitioning from MPC3GD12VW2.5 to SSI-LXR1612GD, verify that the application's electrical requirements (voltage, current, and optical output) align with the substitute's rated specifications of 2.2V forward voltage and 25mA maximum current.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the MPC3GD12VW2.5 classified as obsolete?

A: The MPC3GD12VW2.5 is no longer manufactured by Bivar Inc. and has been discontinued. Obsolete status indicates the component is not available through standard distribution channels for new production orders.

Q: What makes SSI-LXR1612GD a suitable substitute?

A: SSI-LXR1612GD qualifies as a substitute based on shared MSL rating, panel-mount form factor, active production status, and current environmental compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH unaffected).

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the original and substitute?

A: The original MPC3GD12VW2.5 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute SSI-LXR1612GD is supplied in bulk packaging with standard 3mm T-1 LED package configuration.

Q: What are the electrical specifications of the substitute part?

A: SSI-LXR1612GD operates at 2.2V typical forward voltage with 25mA maximum current rating. These specifications must be verified against the original application circuit requirements.

Q: Does the substitute meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. SSI-LXR1612GD is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement for the substitute?

A: SSI-LXR1612GD requires a round panel cutout of 0.24 inches (6.10mm) diameter for flush panel mounting.

Q: Is inventory availability a consideration?

A: Current inventory for SSI-LXR1612GD is 2483 pieces in stock, providing immediate availability. The original MPC3GD12VW2.5 has 1121 pieces available but faces long-term supply constraints due to obsolete status.
