MPC6-2BWD110V

Part Overview

The MPC6-2BWD110V is a panel-mounted indicator light manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a blue diffused lens with a 3mm round domed top design. This component is rated for 110V operation and includes a solder lug termination. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active substitute components that maintain functional compatibility within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPC6-2BWD110V is based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 110V
• Lamp color: Blue
• Lens transparency: Diffused
• Panel cutout shape: Round
• Ingress protection: IP54
• Wavelength range: 465-470nm

The MPC8-2BWD110V qualifies as a substitute within the allowed parameter ranges. While the substitute part features a larger panel cutout dimension (0.31" vs. 0.23") and increased millicandela rating (40mcd vs. 20mcd), these represent enhanced optical performance and require panel layout modifications. The substitution involves a termination style change from solder lug to quick connect, which necessitates connector compatibility verification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-2BWD110V is the available substitute for the obsolete MPC6-2BWD110V. The substitute part holds active product status and maintains ROHS3 compliance. Key design considerations include:

Mechanical Compatibility: The larger panel cutout dimension (0.31" versus 0.23") requires panel layout verification to ensure adequate mounting hole spacing.

Electrical Compatibility: Both components share identical 110V voltage ratings, IP54 ingress protection, and compatible wavelength specifications within the blue spectrum.

Termination Compatibility: The change from solder lug to quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination requires circuit board connector compatibility assessment.

Optical Performance: The substitute provides double the millicandela rating (40mcd versus 20mcd), delivering enhanced luminous intensity within the same 45° viewing angle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-2BWD110V directly replace the MPC6-2BWD110V without design changes? A: Panel cutout dimensions differ (0.31" versus 0.23"), and termination style changes from solder lug to quick connect. Panel hole enlargement and connector compatibility verification are required.

Q: Are the voltage ratings compatible between the two parts? A: Yes. Both components are rated for 110V operation and maintain identical electrical specifications for this parameter.

Q: What is the optical difference between these indicator lights? A: The substitute MPC8-2BWD110V provides 40mcd output compared to the original 20mcd, while maintaining the same 45° viewing angle and diffused lens transparency.

Q: Do both parts meet ingress protection requirements? A: Yes. Both components carry IP54 ingress protection ratings, providing equivalent environmental sealing.

Q: Are there MSL or RoHS considerations for this substitution? A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity. The MPC8-2BWD110V carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What termination changes are involved in this substitution? A: The original MPC6-2BWD110V uses solder lug termination, while the MPC8-2BWD110V requires a quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) connector, necessitating circuit board terminal verification.
