MPR5AT LED Panel Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPR5AT is an amber LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for panel-mount applications with wire termination. This component features a 5mm T-1 3/4 lens with a domed top, rated at 2V and 30mA, delivering 40 millicandela at a 605nm wavelength with a 35° viewing angle. The MPR5AT is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute relationships for the MPR5AT are determined by strict electrical and mechanical compatibility within the MPR5 series. The primary substitute is the MPR5AD, which maintains identical electrical specifications (2V, 30mA) and mechanical form factor (5mm T-1 3/4 lens, 0.32" panel cutout). Both components share the same amber lamp color, 605nm wavelength, and MSL rating.

The substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same)
• Series: MPR5 (same)
• Voltage: 2V (identical)
• Current: 30mA (identical)
• Wavelength: 605nm (identical)
• Lens Size: 5mm, T-1 3/4 (identical)
• Panel Cutout Shape and Dimensions: Round, 0.32" (8.13mm) (identical)
• Lamp Color: Amber (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Differences between the main part and substitute are limited to lens transparency (Clear vs. Diffused), millicandela rating (40mcd vs. 25mcd), and viewing angle (35° vs. 40°). These variations result from optical design differences while maintaining the same electrical and mechanical interface.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPR5AD serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete MPR5AT based on product status and compliance considerations. The MPR5AD is classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The MPR5AD carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in restricted substance applications.

Electrical compatibility is complete: both components operate at 2V with 30mA maximum current, ensuring direct circuit-level substitution without modification to power supply or current-limiting circuitry. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical panel cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm) and lens form factor (5mm T-1 3/4), allowing direct physical replacement in existing panel assemblies.

The optical differences between the parts (lens transparency and millicandela rating) reflect design variations within the MPR5 series. The MPR5AD provides a wider viewing angle (40° vs. 35°) with diffused lens transparency, resulting in lower peak intensity (25mcd vs. 40mcd). These characteristics remain within the amber indicator category and maintain the same wavelength specification (605nm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR5AD directly replace the MPR5AT in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MPR5AD provides direct electrical and mechanical substitution. Both components share identical voltage (2V), current (30mA), wavelength (605nm), lens size (5mm T-1 3/4), and panel cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm). No circuit modifications or panel redesign are required.

Q: What are the optical differences between MPR5AT and MPR5AD?

A: The MPR5AT features a clear lens with 40mcd intensity and 35° viewing angle. The MPR5AD features a diffused lens with 25mcd intensity and 40° viewing angle. The diffused lens provides wider light distribution at reduced peak intensity.

Q: Why is the MPR5AT classified as obsolete?

A: The MPR5AT is no longer in active production. The MPR5AD is the current production equivalent within the MPR5 series, offering the same electrical and mechanical interface with updated optical characteristics.

Q: Does the MPR5AD meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The MPR5AD is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current restrictions on hazardous substances. Both components share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The MPR5AT packaging is specified as dash (not detailed). The MPR5AD is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications for your application.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both the MPR5AT and MPR5AD carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can I use the MPR5AD if my design requires 40mcd intensity?

A: The MPR5AD delivers 25mcd, which is lower than the MPR5AT specification of 40mcd. Application requirements for minimum intensity must be evaluated against the 25mcd rating of the substitute component.
