Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPC5UGC is based on the following criteria derived from the provided parameters:

Primary Substitution Basis:

• Manufacturer alignment: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Product category: LED panel indicator assembly
• Series compatibility: MPC5 series designation
• Electrical ratings: Voltage and current specifications must match application requirements
• Physical form factor: Panel-mount configuration with compatible cutout dimensions
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 rating maintained
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS and REACH status alignment

The MPC5GD qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both components share the same manufacturer, series designation, and functional classification as panel indicator LEDs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPC5GD as Primary Substitute:

The MPC5GD is the designated substitute for the obsolete MPC5UGC. Selection of this substitute is based on:

1. Manufacturer Continuity: Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring design and quality consistency.

2. Product Status: The MPC5GD maintains active production status, providing long-term supply chain stability compared to the obsolete MPC5UGC.

3. Regulatory Compliance: The MPC5GD carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

4. Moisture Sensitivity: Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating equivalent environmental performance.

5. Availability: Both components maintain adequate inventory levels (1158 Pcs for MPC5UGC; 1244 Pcs for MPC5GD), supporting immediate procurement.

For applications currently specified with MPC5UGC, transition to MPC5GD is supported by the provided technical parameters and regulatory certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the MPC5UGC classified as obsolete?

A: The MPC5UGC has reached end-of-life status in Bivar Inc.'s product portfolio. The MPC5GD represents the active production equivalent within the MPC5 series.

Q: Can MPC5GD directly replace MPC5UGC in existing designs?

A: Both components are Bivar Inc. panel indicator LEDs within the MPC5 series. Substitution is supported based on the provided technical parameters and regulatory compliance data. Design verification should confirm compatibility with specific application requirements.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters for substitution?

A: The MPC5GD operates at 2.1V (Vf Typ) with 30mA maximum current. These parameters must align with the application's power supply and current-limiting circuit design.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The MPC5GD is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed against procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying logistics and inventory management.

Q: Does MPC5GD meet current environmental standards?

A: Yes. The MPC5GD is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
