Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPR8-3WD220V qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

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

Differing Parameters:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.23" (5.84mm) vs. 0.31" (7.87mm)
• Termination Style: Solder Lug vs. Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm)
• Millicandela Rating: 70mcd vs. 80mcd
• Product Status: Obsolete vs. Active

The MPR8-3WD220V maintains electrical and optical compatibility while offering improved brightness and active product status. Panel cutout dimension and termination style differences require mechanical design verification during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPR8-3WD220V is the designated substitute for the obsolete MPR6-3WD220V. Selection of this component is supported by:

Electrical Compatibility: Identical 220V voltage rating and white diffused lamp specification ensure direct functional replacement in 220V indicator applications.

Optical Compatibility: Matching 45° viewing angle, diffused lens transparency, and round flat-top lens style maintain consistent visual performance and panel aesthetics.

Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance of the MPR8-3WD220V aligns with current regulatory requirements, whereas the original part lacks specified compliance documentation.

Mechanical Considerations: The panel cutout dimension increase from 0.23" (5.84mm) to 0.31" (7.87mm) requires panel modification or adapter consideration. The termination style change from solder lug to quick connect requires circuit board connection redesign.

Brightness Enhancement: The increased millicandela rating (80mcd vs. 70mcd) provides improved luminous intensity without compromising optical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPR8-3WD220V directly replace the MPR6-3WD220V without any modifications?

A: Electrical and optical replacement is direct. Mechanical integration requires panel cutout modification due to the 0.08" (2.03mm) diameter increase and termination style conversion from solder lug to quick connect terminals.

Q: What is the significance of the panel cutout dimension difference?

A: The MPR6-3WD220V requires a 0.23" (5.84mm) round cutout, while the MPR8-3WD220V requires 0.31" (7.87mm). Existing panel tooling designed for the original part will not accommodate the substitute without modification.

Q: How does the termination style change affect circuit board design?

A: The original solder lug termination requires PCB pad design for wave or reflow soldering. The quick connect termination of the substitute uses 0.110" (2.8mm) spade connectors, requiring different PCB footprint and connection methodology.

Q: Does the increased brightness rating affect circuit design?

A: The 80mcd rating of the MPR8-3WD220V versus 70mcd of the original part represents a 14% brightness increase. Circuit design remains unchanged as both components operate at identical 220V specifications.

Q: What compliance advantage does the MPR8-3WD220V provide?

A: The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part lacks specified compliance documentation. This ensures alignment with current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Are both components available from the same manufacturer?

A: Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc. The MPR8-3WD220V is currently active with 669 units in stock, while the MPR6-3WD220V is obsolete with 1063 units remaining in inventory.
