Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete MPC3GD12VW6.0 is based on the following critical parameters:

Functional Category: Panel indicator LED assembly Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) - substitute must maintain equivalent or superior moisture tolerance Physical Form Factor: Panel-mount configuration with defined cutout dimensions Electrical Performance: Operating voltage and current ratings must support the original application requirements

The identified substitute part SSI-LXR1612GD from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. meets these substitution criteria through matching panel-mount form factor, MSL rating, and active product status with full compliance documentation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: SSI-LXR1612GD

Rationale:

The SSI-LXR1612GD is the designated substitute for the obsolete MPC3GD12VW6.0 based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

2. Compliance Certification: SSI-LXR1612GD holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

3. Moisture Sensitivity Equivalence: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture tolerance characteristics suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

4. Panel-Mount Form Factor: The substitute provides a defined panel-mount configuration with specified cutout dimensions (0.24" / 6.10mm round), enabling direct mechanical integration into existing panel designs.

5. Electrical Specifications: The substitute provides complete electrical ratings (2.2V typical forward voltage, 25mA maximum current) with documented optical performance (30mcd, 60° viewing angle, 565nm peak wavelength).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can SSI-LXR1612GD be used as a direct replacement for MPC3GD12VW6.0?

A: SSI-LXR1612GD is the designated substitute part for the obsolete MPC3GD12VW6.0. Both components share equivalent MSL ratings and panel-mount form factors. The substitute is an active product with current compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). Physical and electrical compatibility depends on the original application's specific requirements for lens color (green), lens transparency (diffused), voltage (2.2V), and current (25mA) ratings.

Q2: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by the following parameters: product category (LED panel indicator), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), panel-mount configuration, panel cutout shape and dimensions (0.24" round), lens size (3mm T-1), and electrical operating characteristics (voltage and current ratings). The substitute must maintain these parameters within the constraints of the original application design.

Q3: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part MPC3GD12VW6.0 packaging is listed as not specified. The substitute SSI-LXR1612GD is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional compatibility but may impact procurement quantities and handling procedures.

Q4: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: SSI-LXR1612GD holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. These certifications confirm the component meets current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to electronic components in regulated markets.

Q5: Is inventory availability a consideration for part selection?

A: Current inventory for MPC3GD12VW6.0 is 1096 pieces in new original condition. SSI-LXR1612GD inventory is 2483 pieces in new original condition. Both parts maintain active stock levels. However, the obsolete status of MPC3GD12VW6.0 indicates future availability constraints, making the active substitute the preferred long-term selection.
