Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MPC6-2GD220V are identified based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalency:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Lamp Color: Green
• Lens Transparency: Diffused
• Voltage Rating: 220V
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Viewing Angle: 45°
• Ingress Protection: IP54
• Panel Cutout Shape: Round

Parameters Permitting Variation:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions (mechanical fit adjustment required)
• Termination Style (circuit connection method)
• Millicandela Rating (brightness output)
• Wavelength - Peak (within green spectrum range)
• Series designation (product line evolution)
• Product Status (active vs. obsolete)

The MPC8-2GD220V qualifies as a substitute part within the Bivar Inc. MPC series green 220V indicator family, maintaining core electrical and optical specifications while introducing design improvements in termination methodology and panel mounting dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPC6-2GD220V (Original Part):

• Product Status: Obsolete
• Current Inventory: 1072 Pcs available
• Suitable for: Existing stock utilization, legacy system maintenance, direct replacement in current designs

MPC8-2GD220V (Substitute Part):

• Product Status: Active
• Current Inventory: 714 Pcs available
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Suitable for: New designs, long-term supply assurance, forward-compatible applications

Selection between these parts depends on design constraints. The MPC8-2GD220V offers active product status and RoHS3 compliance, supporting regulatory requirements and supply continuity. The MPC6-2GD220V remains available for applications requiring solder lug termination and the specific 5.84mm panel cutout dimension. Panel cutout modification is required if transitioning from MPC6-2GD220V to MPC8-2GD220V due to the 7.87mm cutout requirement. Termination method differs: solder lug versus quick connect, requiring circuit board or harness adaptation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPC8-2GD220V directly replace MPC6-2GD220V without modifications?

A: Direct replacement requires two modifications: (1) Panel cutout enlargement from 0.23" (5.84mm) to 0.31" (7.87mm) for mechanical fit, and (2) Circuit connection adaptation from solder lug to quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination. Electrical operation at 220V remains compatible.

Q: What are the optical differences between these parts?

A: Both parts feature green diffused lenses with 45° viewing angles and round domed tops. The MPC6-2GD220V produces 80mcd at 525nm peak wavelength, while the MPC8-2GD220V produces 60mcd at 515nm peak wavelength. Both wavelengths fall within the green spectrum range.

Q: Why is MPC6-2GD220V classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The MPC8-2GD220V represents the active product line continuation within the Bivar Inc. MPC series, offering improved termination options and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are both parts IP54 rated?

A: Yes, both MPC6-2GD220V and MPC8-2GD220V maintain IP54 ingress protection rating, suitable for panel-mounted applications with dust and splash resistance requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these indicators?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs?

A: The MPC8-2GD220V is the appropriate selection for new designs due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This ensures long-term supply availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MPC6-2GD220V is supplied with dash packaging, while the MPC8-2GD220V is supplied in bag packaging. Both are new original stock.
