Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPC8-2YD110V qualifies as a substitute for the MPC6-2YD110V based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer)
• Lamp Color: Yellow
• Lens Transparency: Diffused
• Voltage Rating: 110V (identical electrical specification)
• Panel Cutout Shape: Round
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Wavelength - Peak: 590nm (identical optical specification)
• Viewing Angle: 45°
• Ingress Protection: IP54
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications: Identical

Differing Parameters:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.23" (5.84mm) vs. 0.31" (7.87mm)
• Millicandela Rating: 40mcd vs. 20mcd
• Termination Style: Solder Lug vs. Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm)
• Product Status: Obsolete vs. Active
• Packaging: Dash vs. Bag
• Series: MPC6-2 vs. MPC8-2

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-2YD110V is the active substitute for the obsolete MPC6-2YD110V. Both parts share identical electrical voltage ratings, optical wavelength specifications, viewing angles, and ingress protection classifications. The MPC8-2YD110V maintains active product status with RoHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory adherence.

Selection of the MPC8-2YD110V requires accommodation of two design considerations: panel cutout diameter modification (5.84mm to 7.87mm) and termination interface change (solder lug to quick connect 0.110" connector). The MPC8-2YD110V provides lower luminous intensity (20mcd versus 40mcd), which is acceptable for applications where the reduced brightness does not compromise visibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-2YD110V directly replace the MPC6-2YD110V without modifications? A: Electrical and optical specifications are compatible. However, panel cutout size differs (5.84mm versus 7.87mm), and the termination style changes from solder lug to quick connect. Panel modifications and wiring interface changes are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution? A: The MPC6-2YD110V is obsolete. The MPC8-2YD110V is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer with matching electrical and optical characteristics.

Q: How do the brightness levels compare? A: The MPC6-2YD110V provides 40mcd while the MPC8-2YD110V provides 20mcd. Both operate at identical voltage and wavelength, but the MPC8-2YD110V produces lower luminous intensity.

Q: Are there any compliance differences? A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. The MPC8-2YD110V includes RoHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What termination interface changes are required? A: The MPC6-2YD110V uses solder lug termination. The MPC8-2YD110V uses quick connect termination with 0.110" (2.8mm) connector specifications, requiring appropriate wiring adapter or connection modification.

Q: Are the ingress protection ratings identical? A: Both parts carry IP54 ingress protection classification and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).
