LED Panel Indicator MPR5HDL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPR5HDL is an industrial metal panel-mounted LED indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., classified as a red diffused lens indicator with a 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor. This component is designed for applications requiring low-current visual indication with a 40° viewing angle and operates at 2V with a maximum current of 7mA.

The MPR5HDL is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and 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 MPR5HDL is determined by strict alignment of mechanical and optical parameters that ensure physical and functional compatibility within panel-mounted applications.

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel cutout shape (Round), panel cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm), lens size (5mm T-1 3/4), and lens style (Round with Domed Top) must be identical to ensure proper mounting and fit.
• Optical Compatibility: Lamp color (Red), lens transparency (Diffused), wavelength peak (625nm), and viewing angle (40°) must match to maintain consistent visual indication characteristics.
• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (2V) must be identical. Current rating (If Max) may vary within acceptable design margins if the substitute part operates at the same voltage and maintains functional performance.
• Regulatory Alignment: ECCN and HTSUS classifications must remain consistent for supply chain and compliance purposes.

The MPR5HD qualifies as a substitute based on these criteria. All mechanical and optical parameters are identical. The electrical current rating differs (30mA vs. 7mA), but this represents a higher current capability at the same voltage, which does not preclude substitution in applications designed for the original 7mA specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPR5HD as Primary Substitute:

The MPR5HD is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MPR5HDL. All mechanical, optical, and electrical parameters align with substitution requirements. The MPR5HD is manufactured by the same supplier (Bivar Inc.) and maintains identical form factor, mounting interface, and visual characteristics.

Product Status Advantage:

The MPR5HD carries an Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The MPR5HDL is obsolete, making the MPR5HD the appropriate long-term solution for new designs, repairs, and production continuity.

Compliance and Regulatory Alignment:

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. The MPR5HD is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Electrical Performance Consideration:

The MPR5HD is rated for 30mA maximum current compared to the MPR5HDL's 7mA rating. In applications where the original design operates at 7mA, the MPR5HD operates within its rated specifications with design margin. The higher current rating does not create incompatibility; it reflects improved component capability.

Brightness Enhancement:

The MPR5HD provides 40mcd brightness compared to the MPR5HDL's 5mcd. This increased luminous intensity maintains the same optical characteristics (40° viewing angle, 625nm wavelength, diffused lens) while providing enhanced visibility in the same mechanical package.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR5HD physically replace the MPR5HDL in existing panel assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical panel cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm), round cutout shape, and 5mm T-1 3/4 lens form factor. No mechanical modifications to the panel or mounting structure are required.

Q: Will the MPR5HD produce the same visual appearance as the MPR5HDL?

A: The MPR5HD maintains identical optical characteristics: red lamp color, diffused lens transparency, 625nm peak wavelength, and 40° viewing angle. The increased brightness (40mcd vs. 5mcd) will be visually apparent but does not alter the color or diffusion characteristics.

Q: Are there electrical compatibility concerns when substituting the MPR5HD for the MPR5HDL?

A: No. Both parts operate at 2V. The MPR5HD's 30mA maximum current rating is higher than the MPR5HDL's 7mA rating. If the original circuit supplies 7mA, the MPR5HD operates well within its rated specifications. No circuit modifications are necessary.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The MPR5HDL packaging is listed as "-" (not specified). The MPR5HD is supplied in Tray packaging. This difference affects logistics and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the MPR5HDL obsolete while the MPR5HD remains active?

A: The MPR5HD represents the current production equivalent within Bivar Inc.'s product line. The MPR5HDL has been discontinued in favor of the MPR5HD, which offers improved brightness and active supply chain support.

Q: Are there regulatory or compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. The MPR5HD is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Can the MPR5HD be used in new designs as a replacement for the MPR5HDL?

A: Yes. The MPR5HD is the recommended choice for new designs. Its Active product status ensures long-term availability, and its enhanced specifications (brightness, current rating) provide design margin and improved performance within the same mechanical and optical envelope.
