Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MPC6-1GD110V are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Variable Parameters (Allowable Differences):

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Physical panel opening size may differ, requiring mechanical adaptation
• Termination Style: Connection method may differ (solder lug vs. quick connect), requiring electrical interface modification
• Millicandela Rating: Brightness output may vary within acceptable operational ranges
• Wavelength - Peak: Green spectrum may shift slightly (515nm to 525nm range)
• Product Status: Active products are preferred over obsolete classifications

The MPC8-1GD110V qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: Product Status

The MPC6-1GD110V is classified as obsolete, which creates supply chain risk for new procurements and ongoing support. The MPC8-1GD110V is classified as active product status with current inventory availability (912 pcs in stock), making it the preferred selection for new designs and replacement applications.

Compliance and Certification

The MPC8-1GD110V carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) and Ingress Protection (IP54) ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

Functional Equivalence

Both parts operate at 110V with green diffused lenses, 45° viewing angles, and round domed lens styles. The electrical and optical characteristics remain functionally equivalent for panel indication applications.

Implementation Considerations

Selection between these parts depends on panel mechanical design and electrical interface requirements. The MPC6-1GD110V requires a 0.23" (5.84mm) round cutout with solder lug connections. The MPC8-1GD110V requires a 0.31" (7.87mm) round cutout with quick connect termination. Panel modifications or adapter solutions may be necessary when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-1GD110V directly replace the MPC6-1GD110V without modifications?

A: Direct replacement requires two modifications: (1) Panel cutout enlargement from 0.23" (5.84mm) to 0.31" (7.87mm) diameter, and (2) Electrical interface conversion from solder lug to quick connect termination. The optical and electrical performance remain equivalent.

Q: What are the brightness differences between these parts?

A: The MPC6-1GD110V provides 165mcd output, while the MPC8-1GD110V provides 125mcd output. Both operate at 110V with green diffused lenses. The brightness difference reflects different optical designs within the same product family.

Q: Are the green wavelengths compatible?

A: Both parts emit green light within acceptable ranges: MPC6-1GD110V at 525nm peak wavelength and MPC8-1GD110V at 515nm peak wavelength. These wavelengths are visually equivalent for panel indication purposes.

Q: Why is the MPC8-1GD110V recommended over the MPC6-1GD110V?

A: The MPC8-1GD110V is recommended because it carries active product status with current manufacturing and inventory support, whereas the MPC6-1GD110V is obsolete. Both parts meet identical functional requirements for 110V green panel indication applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The MPC6-1GD110V packaging is listed as standard, while the MPC8-1GD110V is supplied in bag packaging. This difference does not affect component performance or electrical characteristics.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The MPC8-1GD110V is certified ROHS3 compliant. RoHS status for the MPC6-1GD110V is not specified in available documentation.
