MPR5PGD LED Panel Indicator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPR5PGD is a LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for direct panel mounting with integral wiring. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of suitable substitute options to support continuity in system design and maintenance. The MPR5PGD serves as a visual indicator in applications requiring green LED signaling with diffused lens characteristics and moderate brightness output.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for LED panel indicators is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Physical Form Factor: Panel cutout shape (Round), cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm), lens size (5mm T-1 3/4), and lens style (Round with Domed Top) must remain unchanged to ensure direct mechanical compatibility with existing panel designs
• Optical Characteristics: Lamp color (Green), lens color (Green), and lens transparency (Diffused) establish the visual output function
• Electrical Ratings: Operating voltage (Vf Typ) and maximum current (If Max) determine circuit compatibility and current-limiting resistor requirements
• Performance Specifications: Viewing angle (40°) and millicandela rating establish the brightness output and visibility characteristics required by the application

The MPR5GD substitute shares identical mechanical form factor, identical electrical current rating, and equivalent optical characteristics within the green LED category, with minor variations in forward voltage and brightness output that remain within standard application parameters for direct replacement scenarios.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPR5GD is available as an active product substitute for the obsolete MPR5PGD. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces and electrical current specifications (30mA maximum), enabling direct replacement in panel-mounted applications.

The MPR5GD exhibits a forward voltage of 2.1V compared to the MPR5PGD specification of 2.2V, representing a 0.1V difference that falls within standard operating tolerances for LED indicator circuits. The MPR5GD provides increased brightness output (25mcd versus 10mcd) with a wavelength shift from 555nm to 568nm, both within the green spectral range.

The MPR5GD carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting modern regulatory requirements. The switch to active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturing support for procurement and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPR5GD directly replace MPR5PGD in existing circuit designs? A: Yes. The MPR5GD maintains identical panel cutout dimensions (0.32" / 8.13mm), identical current rating (30mA maximum), and equivalent mechanical form factor. The forward voltage difference (2.1V versus 2.2V) is within standard LED operating tolerances and does not require circuit redesign for typical current-limiting resistor applications.

Q: What are the optical differences between MPR5PGD and MPR5GD? A: The MPR5GD produces 25mcd brightness output compared to 10mcd for the MPR5PGD, representing 2.5 times greater luminous intensity. The peak wavelength shifts from 555nm to 568nm, moving slightly toward yellow-green within the green LED spectrum. Both retain the 40° viewing angle and diffused lens transparency.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with packaging format? A: The MPR5PGD was packaged as loose components, while the MPR5GD utilizes tray packaging. This packaging difference affects procurement and handling procedures but does not affect component performance or panel-mount compatibility.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS3 compliance on selection? A: The MPR5GD meets RoHS3 and REACH compliance standards required by current industrial and commercial manufacturing regulations. This status ensures compatibility with modern supply chains and manufacturing environments where older non-compliant components may present sourcing restrictions.
