LED Panel Indicator MPR3RTW12.0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPR3RTW12.0 is a red LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for visual signaling applications requiring a 2.1V forward voltage and 20mA maximum current. This component features a clear lens with a 3mm T-1 form factor and 12-inch wire leads for direct panel mounting through a 0.24-inch round cutout.

The MPR3RTW12.0 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MPR3RTW12.0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: MPR3
• Lamp Color: Red
• Forward Voltage: 2.1V
• Maximum Current: 20mA
• Lens Size: 3mm, T-1
• Panel Cutout Shape: Round
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.24" (6.10mm)
• Termination Style: Wire Leads - 12" (304.80mm)
• Viewing Angle: 20°
• Wavelength - Peak: 700nm

Variable Parameters Permitting Substitution:

• Lens Transparency (Clear vs. Diffused)
• Millicandela Rating (within same wavelength and viewing angle)
• Product Status (Active substitutes acceptable for obsolete parts)
• Packaging format

The MPR3RDW12.0 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while differing only in lens transparency and brightness rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPR3RDW12.0 as Primary Substitute:

The MPR3RDW12.0 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete MPR3RTW12.0. Both components share identical electrical ratings (2.1V forward voltage, 20mA maximum current), mechanical form factor (3mm T-1 lens, 0.24-inch round panel cutout), and termination configuration (12-inch wire leads).

The primary difference is lens transparency: the MPR3RTW12.0 features a clear lens (2.5mcd), while the MPR3RDW12.0 features a diffused lens (2mcd). This difference affects light distribution characteristics but does not alter electrical compatibility or panel mounting requirements.

The MPR3RDW12.0 holds Active product status, ensuring current manufacturing availability and supply chain support. Both components comply with identical regulatory classifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000) and share MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

The MPR3RDW12.0 is supplied in Bag packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR3RDW12.0 directly replace the MPR3RTW12.0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2.1V, 20mA), mechanical dimensions (3mm T-1, 0.24-inch cutout), and wire lead configuration (12 inches). Panel mounting and circuit integration are identical. The diffused lens of the MPR3RDW12.0 produces a different light distribution pattern compared to the clear lens of the MPR3RTW12.0, which may affect visual appearance but not electrical function.

Q: What is the difference between the clear lens (MPR3RTW12.0) and diffused lens (MPR3RDW12.0)?

A: The clear lens provides higher brightness concentration (2.5mcd) with a more focused light beam. The diffused lens provides lower brightness (2mcd) with more dispersed light distribution. Both maintain the same 20° viewing angle and 700nm peak wavelength. Selection depends on application requirements for light intensity and beam spread.

Q: Is the MPR3RDW12.0 currently available for procurement?

A: Yes. The MPR3RDW12.0 holds Active product status with 1112 pieces in current inventory. The MPR3RTW12.0 is classified as Obsolete, making the MPR3RDW12.0 the recommended procurement choice for new orders and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical regulatory classifications: ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and ROHS3 compliance status. The MPR3RDW12.0 carries REACH Unaffected designation, confirming compliance with current environmental regulations.

Q: What packaging format is the MPR3RDW12.0 supplied in?

A: The MPR3RDW12.0 is supplied in Bag packaging. The original MPR3RTW12.0 packaging format is not specified in available documentation.
