MPR5AC LED Panel Indicator

Part Overview

The MPR5AC is an amber LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for panel-mounted applications with wire termination. This component operates at 2V with a maximum current of 30mA and delivers 40mcd luminous intensity at a 605nm wavelength. The product status is obsolete, necessitating identification of suitable substitute components that maintain electrical compatibility while meeting current availability and compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the MPR5AC must satisfy the following electrical and mechanical parameters to ensure direct compatibility:

Critical Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 2V
• Maximum current: 30mA
• Lamp color: Amber
• Wavelength (peak): 605nm
• Panel cutout dimensions: 0.32" (8.13mm) round
• Lens size: 5mm, T-1 3/4
• Lens style: Round with domed top

The MPR5AD is identified as a substitute based on identical electrical ratings, matching mechanical form factors, and compatibility with the MPR5 series platform. Variations in luminous intensity (40mcd to 25mcd) and lens transparency (clear to diffused) represent acceptable optical performance trade-offs within the same product family, as both components operate under identical voltage and current constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPR5AD is recommended as the substitute for the obsolete MPR5AC based on the following factors:

Product Status: The MPR5AC is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The MPR5AD is active and maintains current production status, ensuring long-term availability.

Electrical Compatibility: Both components share identical voltage (2V) and current (30mA) specifications, permitting direct circuit integration without modifications to power supply design or current-limiting resistor calculations.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature identical panel cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm round), lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), and form factor, enabling direct physical replacement in existing panel designs.

Compliance and Certification: The MPR5AD meets RoHS3 compliance requirements, whereas RoHS status data for the MPR5AC is not provided. Both components share identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited) and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Optical Performance Considerations: The MPR5AC delivers 40mcd at a 35° viewing angle, while the MPR5AD delivers 25mcd at a 40° viewing angle. The reduction in peak intensity is offset by an expanded viewing angle and diffused lens transparency, which distributes light over a broader field of view.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR5AD directly replace the MPR5AC without circuit modifications? A: Yes. Both components operate at 2V and maximum 30mA, sharing identical electrical specifications. No changes to current-limiting resistors or power supply design are required.

Q: What is the difference between the clear lens (MPR5AC) and diffused lens (MPR5AD)? A: The MPR5AC features a clear colorless lens with 40mcd intensity concentrated over a 35° viewing angle. The MPR5AD features an amber diffused lens with 25mcd intensity distributed over a 40° viewing angle. The diffused lens provides a wider light distribution pattern suitable for applications requiring broader angular visibility.

Q: Will the MPR5AD fit in the same panel cutout as the MPR5AC? A: Yes. Both components have identical panel cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm round) and mounting form factors, enabling direct mechanical replacement.

Q: Why is the MPR5AC obsolete? A: The MPR5AC is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The MPR5AD represents the current production alternative within the MPR5 series.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two components? A: The MPR5AD is certified RoHS3 compliant. The MPR5AC does not have documented RoHS status. Both components are MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What packaging format is the MPR5AD supplied in? A: The MPR5AD is supplied in tray packaging. Specific packaging information for the MPR5AC was not provided.
