Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPC6-2YD220V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Lamp color: Yellow
• Lens transparency: Diffused
• Voltage rating: 220V
• Millicandela rating: 10mcd
• Wavelength - peak: 590nm
• Viewing angle: 45°
• Ingress protection: IP54
• Panel cutout shape: Round
• Lens style: Round with domed top

Allowable Variations:

• Panel cutout dimensions (mechanical accommodation required)
• Termination style (solder lug vs. quick connect)
• Series designation (MPC6-2 vs. MPC8-2)
• Product status (obsolete vs. active)

The MPC8-2YD220V qualifies as a substitute based on identical electrical and optical specifications while offering active product status and alternative termination technology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPC8-2YD220V serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete MPC6-2YD220V. Selection of the substitute requires evaluation of two mechanical considerations:

Panel Cutout Accommodation: The MPC8-2YD220V requires a 0.31" (7.87mm) diameter cutout compared to the original 0.23" (5.84mm) specification. Panel redesign or mechanical adaptation is necessary for direct substitution in existing enclosures.

Termination Interface: The MPC8-2YD220V employs quick connect termination (0.110" / 2.8mm) in place of solder lug attachment. Circuit board or wiring harness modification is required to accommodate this connection method.

Compliance Advantage: The MPC8-2YD220V carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage for new product designs and manufacturing environments subject to environmental directives.

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPC8-2YD220V directly replace the MPC6-2YD220V without modification?

A: Direct replacement requires mechanical accommodation. The larger panel cutout diameter (0.31" vs. 0.23") and different termination style (quick connect vs. solder lug) necessitate panel redesign or adapter implementation.

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

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 10mcd luminous intensity at 590nm peak wavelength with 45° viewing angle and diffused yellow lens characteristics. Optical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MPC6-2YD220V is classified as obsolete. The MPC8-2YD220V is an active product from the same manufacturer with identical electrical and optical specifications, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Does the MPC8-2YD220V offer any additional benefits?

A: The MPC8-2YD220V carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing environmental and regulatory advantages for new designs. Quick connect termination may offer assembly efficiency advantages in certain manufacturing environments.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution to be valid?

A: Lamp color, lens transparency, voltage rating, millicandela rating, wavelength, viewing angle, ingress protection rating, panel cutout shape, and lens style must all match. These parameters define functional equivalence.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for this substitution?

A: The MPC6-2YD220V has 988 units in stock (obsolete status). The MPC8-2YD220V has 1021 units in stock (active status). For new production, the active MPC8-2YD220V is the recommended selection.
