LED Panel Indicator MPR3RD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPR3RD is an active LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for panel-mount applications with integrated wire termination. This red diffused lens indicator operates at 2.1V with a 20mA maximum current rating and delivers 2mcd luminous intensity at a 700nm peak wavelength. The component features a 3mm T-1 round lens with domed top and accommodates a 0.24" (6.10mm) round panel cutout. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, the MPR3RD remains in current production. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, design redundancy, and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPR3RD is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part MPC3RD maintains identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical ratings: Forward voltage (2.1V), maximum current (20mA)
• Optical characteristics: Red lamp color, red lens color, diffused transparency, 2mcd intensity, 700nm peak wavelength, 20° viewing angle
• Mechanical form factor: 3mm T-1 round lens with domed top, round panel cutout of 0.24" (6.10mm) diameter
• Compliance and environmental: ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited), REACH Unaffected status
• Packaging: Tray format

Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain active product status. The substitution is based on parametric equivalence, ensuring direct interchangeability in panel-mount LED indicator applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MPR3RD and MPC3RD are suitable for direct substitution in panel-mount LED indicator applications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and procurement requirements:

MPR3RD (Primary Part): 740 pieces in stock. Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating. Suitable for immediate deployment and production runs.

MPC3RD (Substitute Part): 1138 pieces in stock. Active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating. Higher inventory availability supports extended production schedules and supply chain redundancy.

Both parts meet REACH Unaffected and EAR99 export classification requirements. Selection may be driven by inventory levels, lead times, or supply chain strategy rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPC3RD replace MPR3RD in existing designs?

A: Yes. MPC3RD is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings (2.1V, 20mA), optical characteristics (2mcd, 700nm, 20° viewing angle), and mechanical form factor (3mm T-1 round lens, 0.24" panel cutout). Direct substitution is supported without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Q: Are there differences in compliance or environmental ratings?

A: No. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and REACH Unaffected status. Regulatory and environmental requirements are identical.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these parts?

A: Substitution is based on equivalence across lamp color, lens color, lens transparency, forward voltage, maximum current, luminous intensity, peak wavelength, viewing angle, lens size and style, panel cutout dimensions, packaging format, and compliance certifications. All parameters must match for direct interchangeability.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format is identical and does not restrict substitution.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on current inventory availability, procurement lead times, and supply chain strategy. Both parts are active products with equivalent technical specifications and compliance ratings.
