MPR3YC Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MPR3YC is a panel-mounted LED indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., classified as an obsolete product. It features a yellow LED with a clear lens, rated at 2V/30mA with a 40mcd brightness output at 590nm wavelength. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts must be identified to maintain design continuity and system functionality in applications currently using this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the MPR3YC must maintain compatibility within the MPR3 series from Bivar Inc. The primary substitution criterion is based on the following allowed parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Forward voltage (2V) and maximum current (30mA) must remain constant to ensure direct circuit compatibility without redesign
• Physical Form Factor: Panel cutout dimensions (0.24"/6.10mm), lens size (3mm T-1), and overall mechanical profile must be identical for mounting compatibility
• Color Specification: Lamp color (Yellow) and wavelength (590nm) must match the original design intent
• Series Designation: Parts must belong to the MPR3 product line to ensure mechanical and electrical standardization

The MPR3YD qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical electrical ratings, physical dimensions, and core color specifications across the critical parameters required for direct replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPR3YD is the designated substitute for the obsolete MPR3YC. Both components share identical electrical characteristics (2V/30mA) and physical form factors, enabling direct replacement in existing applications. The MPR3YD's active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability, eliminating the risk of sourcing constraints associated with obsolete components.

The MPR3YD incorporates ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR3YD replace the MPR3YC in existing designs? A: Yes. Both components have identical voltage (2V), current (30mA), panel cutout dimensions (0.24"/6.10mm), lens size (3mm T-1), and wavelength (590nm) specifications. The identical electrical and mechanical parameters ensure direct compatibility.

Q: What are the differences between MPR3YC and MPR3YD? A: The key differences are lens transparency (clear vs. diffused), lens color (colorless vs. yellow), brightness output (40mcd vs. 20mcd), viewing angle (20° vs. 35°), and termination style (wire vs. PC Pin). The MPR3YD has reduced brightness and a wider viewing angle due to its diffused lens design.

Q: Is the reduced brightness of the MPR3YD a concern? A: Brightness difference (40mcd vs. 20mcd) must be evaluated against the specific application requirements. The diffused lens of the MPR3YD may affect optical performance differently in your circuit design, particularly in applications requiring specific visual intensity or light distribution patterns.

Q: What packaging format is the MPR3YD supplied in? A: The MPR3YD is supplied in bag packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly and procurement processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts? A: The MPR3YD is ROHS3 compliant. Compliance documentation for the MPR3YC was not provided. Confirm compliance requirements for your application and regulatory jurisdiction before selection.
