Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPC8-2RD220V qualifies as a functional substitute for the MPC6-2RD220V based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 220V (identical)
• Lamp Color: Red (identical)
• Lens Transparency: Diffused (identical)
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top (identical)
• Millicandela Rating: 10mcd (identical)
• Wavelength - Peak: 625nm (identical)
• Viewing Angle: 45° (identical)
• Ingress Protection: IP54 (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Differing Parameters:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.31" (7.87mm) versus 0.23" (5.84mm)
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) versus Solder Lug
• Product Status: Active versus Obsolete
• Packaging: Bag versus dash notation

The substitute maintains optical and electrical performance characteristics while offering an active product status with modern termination technology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-2RD220V serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete MPC6-2RD220V. Selection of the substitute requires evaluation of two primary design considerations:

Panel Cutout Compatibility: The MPC8-2RD220V requires a 0.31" (7.87mm) round panel cutout compared to the 0.23" (5.84mm) cutout of the original part. Existing panel designs with the smaller cutout dimension require mechanical modification to accommodate the larger lens diameter.

Termination Interface: The MPC8-2RD220V employs Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) termination in place of the solder lug connection. Circuit board or wiring harness designs must be adapted to accept the quick connect interface.

Compliance Status: The MPC8-2RD220V carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original part's compliance status is not specified.

All optical and electrical performance parameters remain equivalent between the two components, ensuring functional interchangeability within the constraints of mechanical and termination modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-2RD220V directly replace the MPC6-2RD220V without modifications?

A: Direct replacement is not possible without mechanical and electrical modifications. The panel cutout dimension differs (0.31" versus 0.23"), and the termination style changes from solder lug to quick connect. Panel drilling and circuit interface redesign are required.

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both components share identical lamp color (red), lens transparency (diffused), millicandela rating (10mcd), wavelength peak (625nm), viewing angle (45°), and lens style (round with domed top).

Q: What is the voltage compatibility of the MPC8-2RD220V?

A: The MPC8-2RD220V is rated for 220V AC operation, matching the original MPC6-2RD220V specification.

Q: Does the MPC8-2RD220V meet current environmental standards?

A: Yes. The MPC8-2RD220V carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The original part's compliance status is not documented.

Q: What ingress protection rating applies to the substitute part?

A: Both the MPC6-2RD220V and MPC8-2RD220V maintain IP54 ingress protection classification.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these parts?

A: The MPC6-2RD220V is classified as obsolete with 702 pieces in stock. The MPC8-2RD220V is active with 724 pieces available, providing ongoing supply assurance.
