NL67H2C Neon Panel Indicator Light - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NL67H2C is a neon panel indicator light manufactured by Bulgin, designed for 110V applications with a clear neon lamp and colorless lens. This component is classified as an active product and is ROHS3 compliant. The part operates within a voltage range of 105V to 130V and features a round panel cutout of 0.50" (12.70mm) with a flat-top lens design.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component reaches end-of-life status, experiences supply constraints, or when design requirements necessitate alternative termination styles or voltage specifications within compatible operating ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the NL67H2C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Neon Type: Both main and substitute parts must be neon indicator lights
• Lamp Color: Clear neon lamp required for optical consistency
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.50" (12.70mm) round cutout for mechanical fit
• Lens Style: Round with flat top configuration for panel mounting compatibility
• Voltage Compatibility: Operating voltage range must overlap or be contained within the application's supply voltage specification
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status maintained

The substitute part 1050QC2 meets these criteria with compatible voltage range (105V ~ 125V), identical panel cutout dimensions, matching lens style, and equivalent regulatory compliance status. The primary distinction is the termination style, which changes from standard to quick connect (0.187" / 4.7mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1050QC2 serves as a direct mechanical and optical substitute for the NL67H2C, provided that the application's electrical design accommodates the voltage range of 105V to 125V. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

The NL67H2C maintains active product status, while the 1050QC2 is classified as not for new designs. For ongoing production or new designs, the NL67H2C is the preferred selection. The 1050QC2 is appropriate for legacy system maintenance, field replacement, or applications where quick connect termination is advantageous.

The voltage range difference (NL67H2C: 105V ~ 130V versus 1050QC2: 105V ~ 125V) requires verification that the application's maximum supply voltage does not exceed 125V when using the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1050QC2 be used as a direct replacement for the NL67H2C in all applications?

A: The 1050QC2 is mechanically and optically compatible with the NL67H2C due to matching panel cutout dimensions (0.50" / 12.70mm), identical lens style (round with flat top), and equivalent neon lamp color (clear). However, the application's maximum supply voltage must not exceed 125V, as the 1050QC2 operates within 105V ~ 125V compared to the NL67H2C's 105V ~ 130V range. Additionally, the termination style differs; the 1050QC2 uses quick connect (0.187" / 4.7mm) terminals.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The NL67H2C is classified as active, indicating ongoing manufacturing and availability for new designs. The 1050QC2 is marked as not for new designs, meaning it is available for legacy system support and field replacement but should not be selected for new product development unless specific design constraints require its quick connect termination.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the NL67H2C and 1050QC2 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to electronic components.

Q: What is the primary difference in termination between these two parts?

A: The NL67H2C does not specify a termination style in the provided data. The 1050QC2 features quick connect termination with 0.187" (4.7mm) spade connectors, which may simplify installation in applications designed for this connection method.

Q: Can packaging differences affect component selection?

A: The NL67H2C is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 1050QC2 is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence procurement logistics and inventory management practices.
