Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPC6-2WD110V is evaluated based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters that must align with the original design:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 110V (electrical compatibility)
• Lamp Color: White (visual consistency)
• Lens Transparency: Diffused (optical characteristics)
• Viewing Angle: 45° (operational field of view)
• Ingress Protection: IP54 (environmental sealing)
• Panel Cutout Shape: Round (mechanical fit)
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top (form factor)

Allowable Variations:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: The MPC8-2WD110V features a larger 0.31" (7.87mm) cutout compared to the original 0.23" (5.84mm), which requires panel modification for installation.
• Termination Style: The substitute uses Quick Connect terminals (0.110"/2.8mm) instead of Solder Lug termination, requiring electrical connection method revision.
• Millicandela Rating: The substitute provides 165mcd versus 145mcd, representing a 13.8% increase in light output.

The MPC8-2WD110V is classified as an active product with RoHS3 compliance, offering improved long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete MPC6-2WD110V.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-2WD110V serves as the appropriate substitute for the obsolete MPC6-2WD110V when the following conditions are met:

1. Panel Design Modification Required: The larger panel cutout dimension (0.31" versus 0.23") necessitates enlargement of the mounting hole in the control panel. This modification must be performed prior to installation.

2. Electrical Connection Revision: The shift from Solder Lug to Quick Connect termination requires updates to the electrical assembly procedure and interconnection design. No additional electrical components are required.

3. Regulatory Compliance: The MPC8-2WD110V holds RoHS3 certification, supporting compliance with current environmental and material restriction directives. This is particularly relevant for new designs or systems subject to updated regulatory standards.

4. Inventory and Product Lifecycle: With 954 pieces available and active product status, the MPC8-2WD110V offers superior long-term availability and manufacturer support compared to the discontinued MPC6-2WD110V.

5. Optical Performance: The increased millicandela rating (165mcd versus 145mcd) results in higher luminous intensity without changes to color temperature, lens transparency, or viewing angle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What electrical characteristics must remain unchanged when substituting from MPC6-2WD110V to MPC8-2WD110V?

A: The voltage rating (110V), lamp color (white), lens transparency (diffused), and viewing angle (45°) remain constant between the original and substitute parts. Both components operate at identical electrical parameters and require no circuit redesign.

Q: Are panel modifications required to install the MPC8-2WD110V in place of the MPC6-2WD110V?

A: Yes. The panel cutout dimension increases from 0.23" (5.84mm) to 0.31" (7.87mm). The existing mounting hole must be enlarged to accommodate the larger diameter of the MPC8-2WD110V bezel.

Q: What is the impact of the termination style change from Solder Lug to Quick Connect?

A: The termination change from Solder Lug to Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) terminals requires modification of the electrical interconnection method. Quick Connect termination eliminates the need for soldering operations but requires compatible crimp connectors or wire terminals rated for 0.110" (2.8mm) receptacle width.

Q: Does the MPC8-2WD110V provide equivalent light output to the original part?

A: The MPC8-2WD110V delivers 165mcd compared to 145mcd in the original MPC6-2WD110V, representing a 13.8% increase in luminous intensity. Both parts maintain the same viewing angle of 45° and diffused lens characteristics.

Q: Is the MPC8-2WD110V suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The MPC8-2WD110V is RoHS3 compliant. The original MPC6-2WD110V does not specify RoHS status. Substitution to the MPC8-2WD110V aligns new designs or refreshed systems with current environmental and material restriction requirements.

Q: What is the relationship between packaging differences (Spool versus Bag) and component selection?

A: The MPC6-2WD110V is supplied in unspecified packaging, while the MPC8-2WD110V arrives in Bag packaging. This difference affects receiving, storage, and component handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance once installed in the application.
