Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPC5RD qualifies as a direct substitute for the MPC5SURC based on the following substitution criteria:

Series Alignment: Both components belong to the MPC5 series from Bivar Inc., ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the product family.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both parts share MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical environmental handling and storage requirements.

Functional Classification: Both are LED panel indicators designed for panel-mount applications with identical termination and mounting methodologies.

Regulatory Compliance: The MPC5RD maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, providing superior supply chain availability and regulatory assurance compared to the obsolete MPC5SURC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: The MPC5RD is the designated substitute for the MPC5SURC. Selection of the MPC5RD is justified on the following engineering grounds:

Product Status: The MPC5SURC is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk and potential long-term unavailability. The MPC5RD maintains active product status, ensuring reliable sourcing and continued manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: The MPC5RD carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The obsolete status of the MPC5SURC precludes current compliance verification.

Series Continuity: Both components are members of the MPC5 series, maintaining design continuity and mechanical compatibility within panel-mount LED indicator applications.

Environmental Handling: Identical MSL 1 rating ensures equivalent storage, handling, and moisture protection requirements, eliminating process modifications during component transition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC5RD directly replace the MPC5SURC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share the MPC5 series designation and identical MSL 1 rating. The MPC5RD is the active equivalent within the product family. Verify that the specific electrical parameters (voltage, current, color, and optical characteristics) of the MPC5RD align with your application requirements before implementation.

Q: Why is the MPC5SURC listed as obsolete?

A: The MPC5SURC has reached end-of-life status within Bivar Inc.'s product portfolio. The MPC5RD represents the current active offering for panel-mounted LED indicator applications within the MPC5 series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between MPC5SURC and MPC5RD?

A: The MPC5RD is supplied in Tray packaging. The MPC5SURC packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What are the key electrical specifications of the MPC5RD?

A: The MPC5RD operates at 2.1V typical forward voltage with a maximum current rating of 20mA. The component features a red diffused lens with 2mcd luminous intensity and 700nm peak wavelength, suitable for standard panel indicator applications.

Q: Does the MPC5RD meet current environmental standards?

A: Yes. The MPC5RD is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the mechanical form factor of the MPC5RD?

A: The MPC5RD features a 5mm T-1 3/4 round lens with domed top, round panel cutout shape, and 0.32" (8.13mm) panel cutout dimension. The component provides 45° viewing angle and is designed for standard panel-mount applications.
