Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPR8-3BWD220V qualifies as a substitute for the MPR6-3BWD220V based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Voltage Rating: 220V
• Lamp Color: Blue
• Lens Transparency: Diffused
• Panel Cutout Shape: Round
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Viewing Angle: 45°
• Ingress Protection: IP54
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameters:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.31" (7.87mm) versus 0.23" (5.84mm)
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) versus Solder Lug
• Millicandela Rating: 20mcd versus 10mcd
• Wavelength - Peak: 470nm versus 465nm
• Product Status: Active versus Obsolete

The substitute part maintains electrical and optical compatibility while offering enhanced brightness and an active product status. Panel cutout dimension differences require mechanical panel modification or adapter consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MPR6-3BWD220V is classified as obsolete. The MPR8-3BWD220V is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Compliance and Certifications: The MPR8-3BWD220V carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts operate at 220V with identical ingress protection (IP54) and moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1). The substitute part provides increased brightness (20mcd versus 10mcd) with a peak wavelength shift of 5nm (470nm versus 465nm), remaining within the blue spectrum range.

Mechanical Integration: Panel cutout dimension differences (0.31" versus 0.23") require mechanical panel modification. Termination style change from solder lug to quick connect requires circuit board connection method adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR8-3BWD220V directly replace the MPR6-3BWD220V without panel modification?

A: No. The panel cutout dimensions differ (0.31" versus 0.23"). Panel drilling or adapter hardware is required for mechanical installation.

Q: Are the electrical specifications compatible for 220V applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 220V operation with identical ingress protection (IP54) and moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1).

Q: What is the impact of the termination style change from solder lug to quick connect?

A: The termination style change requires modification of circuit board connection methods. Solder lug connections must be replaced with quick connect receptacles compatible with 0.110" (2.8mm) terminals.

Q: Does the increased brightness (20mcd versus 10mcd) affect system performance?

A: The substitute part provides double the brightness output. System design must accommodate this increased luminous intensity if brightness regulation is critical.

Q: Is the wavelength difference (470nm versus 465nm) significant?

A: Both wavelengths fall within the blue spectrum. The 5nm difference is within standard blue LED color variation and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the advantage of selecting the MPR8-3BWD220V?

A: The substitute part is active (not obsolete), ROHS3 compliant, and offers improved brightness. These factors ensure long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for this substitution?

A: The MPR8-3BWD220V has 639 pieces in stock (active status), compared to 844 pieces of the obsolete MPR6-3BWD220V. Active product status ensures continued procurement availability.
