Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MPR3YD12V are identified based on mechanical compatibility and optical characteristics. The critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility are:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.24" (6.10mm) round opening
• Lens Size: 3mm T-1 form factor
• Lens Style: Round with domed top
• Lamp Color: Yellow
• Lens Transparency: Diffused
• HS Code Category: 8541.41.0000 (LED components)

The substitute part SSI-LXR3612YD satisfies these mechanical and optical requirements, enabling direct panel mounting compatibility while maintaining the visual signaling function of the original component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSI-LXR3612YD is the designated substitute for the obsolete MPR3YD12V. This component is manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. and carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

The substitute meets all mechanical requirements for direct panel mounting, maintaining identical cutout dimensions and lens form factor. From a compliance perspective, the SSI-LXR3612YD provides additional assurance through ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory frameworks.

Note that circuit design modifications are required when substituting this part, as the voltage and current ratings differ significantly from the original component. The substitute operates at 2.1V nominal with 30mA maximum current, whereas the original was rated for 12V operation. Appropriate voltage regulation or current-limiting circuitry must be implemented to accommodate this difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSI-LXR3612YD be mounted in the same panel cutout as the MPR3YD12V?

A: Yes. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions of 0.24" (6.10mm) round and the same 3mm T-1 lens form factor with round domed top styling, enabling direct physical substitution in panel assemblies.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (12V vs. 2.1V), current specification (not provided vs. 30mA), brightness (25mcd vs. 30mcd), viewing angle (35° vs. 60°), and product status (obsolete vs. active). Additionally, the substitute includes modern compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH).

Q: Does the substitute require circuit design changes?

A: Yes. The SSI-LXR3612YD operates at significantly lower voltage (2.1V) and higher current (30mA maximum) compared to the original 12V rating. Circuit modifications to provide appropriate voltage regulation and current limiting are necessary.

Q: What is the wavelength difference between these parts?

A: The MPR3YD12V has a peak wavelength of 590nm, while the SSI-LXR3612YD operates at 585nm. Both are within the yellow spectrum range.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for the substitute part?

A: The SSI-LXR3612YD is in active production with 3362 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete MPR3YD12V with 927 pieces remaining in inventory.
