LED Panel Indicator MPR3GCW6.0

Part Overview

The MPR3GCW6.0 is a green LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a clear lens with a 20° viewing angle. This product is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of suitable alternative components for ongoing applications. The substitute parts listed maintain compatibility with the original design specifications while offering comparable functional characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the MPR3GCW6.0 is determined by the following parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (2.1V) and maximum current (20mA) must remain constant
• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel cutout shape (round) and dimensions (0.24" / 6.10mm) must match for direct mounting
• Optical Specifications: Lamp color (green) and wavelength peak (568nm) establish functional equivalence
• Termination: Wire leads with 6" (152.40mm) length ensure connection compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classification consistency

The identified substitute MPR3GDW6.0 satisfies all electrical, mechanical, and optical requirements, with the primary distinction being lens transparency (diffused versus clear) and resulting viewing angle (35° versus 20°) and brightness (25mcd versus 40mcd).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPR3GDW6.0 serves as the direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the obsolete MPR3GCW6.0. Both components share identical forward voltage (2.1V), maximum current (20mA), panel mounting dimensions (0.24" round cutout), and termination specifications (wire leads, 6" length). The substitute maintains the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8541.41.0000), confirming regulatory equivalence.

The MPR3GDW6.0 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1,055 pieces), whereas the MPR3GCW6.0 is obsolete. The substitute part carries RoHS3 compliance certification, confirming environmental and safety standard conformance.

The primary functional difference is the lens transparency specification: the substitute features a diffused lens (versus the clear lens of the original), which results in a wider viewing angle (35° versus 20°) and correspondingly lower peak brightness (25mcd versus 40mcd). This optical trade-off does not alter electrical compatibility and is determined solely by application requirements regarding light distribution and visibility envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the MPR3GCW6.0 and MPR3GDW6.0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components operate at identical forward voltage (2.1V) and maximum current ratings (20mA), requiring no circuit modification for substitution.

Q: Can the MPR3GDW6.0 mount in the same panel cutout as the original?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical panel cutout specifications: round shape, 0.24" (6.10mm) diameter. Direct mechanical interchange is supported.

Q: How does the lens transparency difference affect application suitability?

A: The clear lens (MPR3GCW6.0) concentrates light output within a 20° viewing angle at 40mcd peak brightness. The diffused lens (MPR3GDW6.0) disperses light across a 35° viewing angle at 25mcd peak brightness. Selection depends on required light distribution pattern and visibility distance requirements for the specific application.

Q: What is the current availability status of these components?

A: The original MPR3GCW6.0 is obsolete (704 pieces in stock at time of data collection). The substitute MPR3GDW6.0 is in active production (1,055 pieces in stock) and remains available for new designs and replenishment orders.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory classifications?

A: Yes. Both components are classified as ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.41.0000. The substitute carries additional RoHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are the termination specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components feature wire leads with 6" (152.40mm) length, supporting identical connection and integration methods.
