Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPC6-1RD110V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (110V), lamp color (red), and optical output (20mcd at 625nm wavelength) must remain constant across all substitutes.

Optical Characteristics: Lens transparency (diffused), lens style (round with domed top), and viewing angle (45°) establish functional equivalence for visual indication applications.

Environmental Compliance: Ingress protection rating (IP54) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) ensure operational reliability in specified environments.

Regulatory Alignment: ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8541.41.0000) classification must be maintained.

Mechanical Interface: Panel cutout shape (round) remains constant; however, cutout dimensions may vary based on termination style changes. Termination style transitions from solder lug to quick connect represent the primary mechanical differentiation in available substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-1RD110V serves as the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete MPC6-1RD110V. Both components maintain electrical and optical equivalence across all critical parameters: 110V voltage rating, red lamp color, 20mcd output at 625nm wavelength, diffused lens transparency, 45° viewing angle, and IP54 ingress protection.

The primary differentiation between these parts is termination style and corresponding panel cutout dimensions. The MPC6-1RD110V employs solder lug termination with a 0.23" (5.84mm) panel cutout, while the MPC8-1RD110V utilizes quick connect termination (0.110" 2.8mm) with a 0.31" (7.87mm) panel cutout. This mechanical difference necessitates panel modification or adapter consideration during substitution.

The MPC8-1RD110V holds active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, providing superior supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete MPC6-1RD110V. For new designs and production applications, the MPC8-1RD110V is the designated substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-1RD110V directly replace the MPC6-1RD110V without panel modification?

A: Electrical and optical functionality are fully equivalent. However, panel cutout dimensions differ: MPC6-1RD110V requires 0.23" (5.84mm) diameter, while MPC8-1RD110V requires 0.31" (7.87mm) diameter. Panel drilling or enlargement is necessary for mechanical fit.

Q: Are the termination styles interchangeable?

A: No. The MPC6-1RD110V uses solder lug termination for direct PCB soldering. The MPC8-1RD110V uses quick connect termination (0.110" 2.8mm) for push-on connector attachment. Wiring methodology must be adapted accordingly.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental specifications?

A: Yes. Both components maintain IP54 ingress protection and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

Q: What is the regulatory status difference between these parts?

A: The MPC8-1RD110V carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the MPC6-1RD110V status is not specified. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the MPC8-1RD110V is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 20mcd output at 625nm wavelength with diffused lens transparency, round domed lens style, and 45° viewing angle, providing equivalent visual indication performance.
