MPR6-3GD220V

Part Overview

The MPR6-3GD220V is a panel-mounted indicator light manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for 220V AC applications. This component features a green diffused lens with a 3mm round panel cutout configuration and solder lug termination. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making it necessary to identify functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing maintenance and new designs. The substitute part MPR8-3GD220V shares the critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct circuit functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPR8-3GD220V qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts operate at 220V with identical ingress protection rating (IP54) and moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental performance and circuit integration.

Optical Characteristics: Both parts feature green lamp color with diffused lens transparency and 45° viewing angle, maintaining visual indication consistency in panel-mounted applications.

Mechanical Integration: While panel cutout dimensions differ (MPR6-3GD220V: 0.23" / 5.84mm versus MPR8-3GD220V: 0.31" / 7.87mm), both employ round cutout shapes and round flat-top lens styles. The larger cutout in the substitute reflects its 5mm lens design compared to the 3mm design of the original part.

Termination Consideration: The original part uses solder lug termination, while the substitute uses quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination, which affects PCB assembly method but not electrical function.

Compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory standing for export and tariff purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The MPR8-3GD220V is the specified substitute for MPR6-3GD220V. The substitute is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Panel Modification Consideration: Substitution requires verification that the panel cutout accommodates the larger 0.31" (7.87mm) diameter requirement. The original design uses a 0.23" (5.84mm) cutout. Panel redesign or mechanical adapter implementation may be necessary depending on existing enclosure specifications.

Assembly Process Change: Transition from solder lug to quick connect termination (0.110" / 2.8mm) requires PCB land pattern and assembly procedure adjustment. Quick connect termination simplifies field replacement but demands terminal compatibility in the mating connector.

Optical Performance: The substitute provides 60mcd output compared to the original 80mcd. This 25% reduction in luminous intensity must be evaluated against visibility requirements in the target application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR8-3GD220V directly replace the MPR6-3GD220V without any modifications?

A: Direct electrical replacement is possible, but mechanical integration depends on panel cutout size. The substitute requires a 0.31" (7.87mm) round cutout versus the original 0.23" (5.84mm). Additionally, the termination style differs: solder lug to quick connect. These factors require assessment of existing panel specifications and PCB assembly capabilities.

Q: Are the electrical specifications equivalent between these two parts?

A: Both parts operate at 220V with identical IP54 ingress protection and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. The primary electrical difference is luminous intensity: the original provides 80mcd while the substitute provides 60mcd. Both feature 45° viewing angle and green diffused indication.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Voltage rating (220V for both), color and lens transparency (green diffused for both), viewing angle (45° for both), and environmental protection ratings (IP54 and MSL 1 for both) are the critical functional parameters. Panel mechanical integration (cutout diameter and termination style) are secondary considerations requiring design-specific evaluation.

Q: Is the MPR8-3GD220V currently available?

A: Yes. The MPR8-3GD220V is in active production status with 1048 pieces in current inventory. The original MPR6-3GD220V is classified as obsolete, making the substitute the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: How do the wavelength specifications compare?

A: The original part specifies 525nm peak wavelength while the substitute specifies 515nm. Both values are within the green spectrum range, with the substitute exhibiting a slightly shorter wavelength (more blue-shifted). Visible color difference is negligible in typical panel indicator applications.
