MPR5RT LED Panel Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPR5RT is a red LED panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a clear lens with 2 millicandelá brightness at 700nm wavelength. This part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternative components essential for ongoing applications and system maintenance. The optical and electrical characteristics of replacement parts must align precisely with the original specifications to ensure proper functionality in panel mount applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPR5RD qualifies as a functional substitute for the MPR5RT based on shared critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts maintain identical specifications for voltage (2.1V), current rating (20mA), panel cutout dimensions (0.32"/8.13mm), lens size (5mm, T-1 3/4), lens style (round with domed top), millicandela rating (2mcd), wavelength (700nm), and viewing angle (35°). The primary distinction is the lens transparency: the MPR5RT features a clear lens, while the MPR5RD incorporates a diffused lens. This difference affects light dispersion characteristics but does not alter electrical compatibility or mechanical interchangeability. The MPR5RD carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classification, providing lifecycle and regulatory advantages over the obsolete MPR5RT.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPR5RD is the specified substitute for the obsolete MPR5RT. Electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent across both components, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing panel mount applications. The MPR5RD carries active product status, supporting ongoing sourcing and supply chain continuity. Additionally, the MPR5RD satisfies ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected requirements, fulfilling modern regulatory mandates for electronic component procurement. The diffused lens characteristic of the MPR5RD provides enhanced light dispersion compared to the clear lens of the MPR5RT, an optical distinction appropriate for applications requiring wider light distribution across the viewing angle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR5RD directly replace the MPR5RT in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.1V, 20mA), mechanical footprint (0.32"/8.13mm cutout), and optical ratings (2mcd, 700nm, 35° viewing angle). The primary difference—diffused versus clear lens transparency—does not prevent mechanical or electrical interchangeability.

Q: What is the significance of the lens transparency difference? A: The clear lens of the MPR5RT produces a more concentrated light beam, while the diffused lens of the MPR5RD scatters light more broadly across the 35° viewing angle. Selection depends on the specific light distribution requirements of the application.

Q: Why is the MPR5RT obsolete while the MPR5RD remains active? A: Product status reflects manufacturing lifecycle and market demand. The MPR5RD's active status ensures continued availability, technical support, and compliance with current regulatory standards including ROHS3 and REACH.

Q: Are packaging differences relevant to component selection? A: Packaging affects supply logistics and handling but does not influence electrical or mechanical compatibility. The MPR5RD is supplied in trays, appropriate for automated assembly and volume production environments.

Q: Do compliance certifications differ between the parts? A: The MPR5RD explicitly certifies ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. These certifications ensure the substitute part meets current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated industries.
