MPC6-1BWD110V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPC6-1BWD110V is a panel-mounted indicator light manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a blue diffused lens with a 3mm round domed top design. This component operates at 110V and provides visual indication through a 20mcd blue light output at 465nm wavelength with a 45° viewing angle. The part utilizes solder lug termination and meets IP54 ingress protection standards.

The MPC6-1BWD110V is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability for production and repair applications, and support long-term product lifecycle management.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPC8-1BWD110V qualifies as a functional substitute for the MPC6-1BWD110V based on the following shared electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Lamp Color: Blue
• Lens Transparency: Diffused
• Voltage Rating: 110V
• Panel Cutout Shape: Round
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Viewing Angle: 45°
• Ingress Protection: IP54

Substitution Basis: Both components operate at identical voltage levels, share the same visual indication color and lens characteristics, and provide equivalent environmental protection ratings. The diffused blue lens design and 45° viewing angle are preserved across both models, ensuring consistent optical performance in panel-mounted indicator applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-1BWD110V is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, providing a viable path forward from the obsolete MPC6-1BWD110V. Both components share identical voltage ratings, optical characteristics, and environmental protection specifications.

Design Considerations:

Panel cutout dimensions differ between the two models. The MPC6-1BWD110V requires a 0.23" (5.84mm) cutout, while the MPC8-1BWD110V requires a 0.31" (7.87mm) cutout. Panel modifications may be necessary to accommodate the larger lens diameter of the substitute part.

Termination style differs: the MPC6-1BWD110V uses solder lug termination, while the MPC8-1BWD110V uses quick connect termination with 0.110" (2.8mm) spade connectors. Circuit board or wiring harness modifications are required to accommodate this change.

The MPC8-1BWD110V provides increased luminous intensity at 40mcd compared to the 20mcd rating of the MPC6-1BWD110V, with a peak wavelength shift from 465nm to 470nm. These differences remain within the blue spectrum and maintain visual indication functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-1BWD110V directly replace the MPC6-1BWD110V without modifications?

A: Direct replacement requires two modifications. The panel cutout must be enlarged from 0.23" (5.84mm) to 0.31" (7.87mm) to accommodate the larger lens. The termination connection must be changed from solder lug to quick connect spade connectors (0.110" / 2.8mm).

Q: Are the optical characteristics equivalent between these two parts?

A: Both components provide blue diffused illumination with 45° viewing angles and IP54 protection. The MPC8-1BWD110V delivers higher luminous intensity (40mcd versus 20mcd) and operates at a slightly longer peak wavelength (470nm versus 465nm), both within acceptable blue spectrum parameters for visual indication applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The MPC6-1BWD110V is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The MPC8-1BWD110V is active production with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

Q: Are there voltage or current rating differences?

A: Both components operate at 110V. Current ratings are not specified in the technical documentation for either part.

Q: What does the panel cutout dimension difference mean for my application?

A: The MPC8-1BWD110V has a larger physical lens diameter requiring a larger panel opening. Existing panel designs with 0.23" (5.84mm) cutouts must be modified to 0.31" (7.87mm) to accommodate the substitute part.

Q: Is the quick connect termination compatible with my existing solder connections?

A: No. The MPC6-1BWD110V uses solder lug termination for direct PCB soldering, while the MPC8-1BWD110V uses quick connect spade connectors. Wiring harness or circuit board modifications are required to interface with the substitute part's termination style.
