Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPC8-2GD110V qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following critical parameters that remain consistent between the main part and substitute:

• Voltage Rating: Both operate at 110V, ensuring direct compatibility with existing power distribution systems
• Lamp Color: Green color maintained across both models
• Lens Transparency: Diffused lens characteristic preserved
• Lens Style: Round with domed top configuration consistent
• Viewing Angle: 45° angle specification identical
• Ingress Protection: IP54 rating maintained
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring quality and design consistency

Variations between models include panel cutout dimensions (0.23" vs. 0.31"), millicandela rating (165mcd vs. 125mcd), wavelength peak (525nm vs. 515nm), and termination style (solder lug vs. quick connect). These differences require mechanical and electrical verification during integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-2GD110V is an active product from the same manufacturer, providing ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The obsolete status of the MPC6-2GD110V makes the MPC8-2GD110V a logical successor for new designs and replacement applications.

Selection of the MPC8-2GD110V requires confirmation of mechanical fit due to the larger panel cutout dimension (0.31" vs. 0.23") and electrical termination compatibility, given the transition from solder lug to quick connect termination. The reduced luminous intensity (125mcd vs. 165mcd) and the slight peak wavelength shift (515nm vs. 525nm) are within the green spectrum and should be evaluated against application visibility requirements.

The MPC8-2GD110V maintains IP54 ingress protection, supporting use in the same environmental conditions as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-2GD110V directly replace the MPC6-2GD110V without modification? A: Direct replacement requires verification of panel cutout dimensions and termination method compatibility. The MPC8-2GD110V requires a 0.31" (7.87mm) cutout versus 0.23" (5.84mm) for the original, and uses quick connect termination instead of solder lug.

Q: Are the brightness levels interchangeable between these models? A: The MPC8-2GD110V produces 125mcd compared to the MPC6-2GD110V at 165mcd. Applications sensitive to brightness differences should evaluate this 24% reduction in luminous intensity.

Q: Does the quick connect termination affect installation time? A: The MPC8-2GD110V uses quick connect termination (0.110" spade connector), eliminating soldering requirements during installation. This differs from the solder lug termination of the original model.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference (525nm vs. 515nm)? A: Both wavelengths operate within the green spectrum. The MPC6-2GD110V peaks at 525nm (pure green) and the MPC8-2GD110V at 515nm (slightly blue-shifted green). This difference is imperceptible to the human eye for panel indicator applications.

Q: Is the MPC8-2GD110V RoHS compliant? A: The MPC8-2GD110V is RoHS3 compliant, meeting modern environmental and materials restrictions.
