MPR3HD12V

Part Overview

The MPR3HD12V is a 3mm LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for 12V DC applications with red diffused lens characteristics. This component is currently obsolete, necessitating the identification of equivalent substitute parts for continued system design and maintenance requirements. The product features a 35° viewing angle and 30mcd brightness rating, suitable for industrial panel-mounted indicator applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MPR3HD12V is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 12V DC (required match)
• Lens Color and Transparency: Red diffused (required match)
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.24" (6.10mm) (required match for mechanical fit)
• Lens Size and Style: 3mm T-1 round with domed top (required match for mounting compatibility)
• Type: LED (required match)

The APEM Inc. Q6P1GXXR12 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical mechanical and electrical parameters, despite variations in viewing angle (100° versus 35°) and brightness rating (40mcd versus 30mcd).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Q6P1GXXR12 from APEM Inc. serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete MPR3HD12V. Both components share identical mechanical mounting specifications (0.24" round cutout, 3mm T-1 lens form factor) and electrical voltage rating (12V), ensuring direct physical and electrical compatibility in existing panel designs.

The Q6P1GXXR12 offers active product status and ROHS3 compliance, providing design continuity for new production runs and system updates. The increased brightness rating (40mcd versus 30mcd) and wider viewing angle (100° versus 35°) enhance visibility characteristics while maintaining all critical substitution parameters.

Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings (MSL 1), supporting equivalent handling and storage requirements in manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Q6P1GXXR12 replace the MPR3HD12V directly without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The Q6P1GXXR12 matches the voltage rating (12V), lens color (red diffused), panel cutout dimensions (0.24"/6.10mm), and lens form factor (3mm T-1) of the MPR3HD12V. No circuit modifications are required for mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What are the differences between these two panel indicators?

A: The Q6P1GXXR12 provides wider viewing angle (100° versus 35°) and higher brightness (40mcd versus 30mcd). The original MPR3HD12V is obsolete while the Q6P1GXXR12 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels equivalent?

A: Yes. Both components are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements throughout their supply chain lifecycle.

Q: What termination style is used by the substitute?

A: The Q6P1GXXR12 features solder lug termination, while the original MPR3HD12V termination style was not specified in available documentation.

Q: Do these components share the same export classification?

A: Yes. Both the MPR3HD12V and Q6P1GXXR12 are classified under ECCN EAR99, supporting identical export compliance documentation.
