NL67H2R Neon Panel Indicator Light - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bulgin NL67H2R is a neon panel indicator light designed for 105V to 130V AC applications with a red lamp and diffused red lens. This component is classified as Active product status and is fully ROHS3 compliant. The NL67H2R features a round panel cutout of 0.50" (12.70mm) with a flat-top lens style, suitable for direct panel mounting in industrial control and instrumentation applications.

Substitute parts become necessary when the original NL67H2R reaches end-of-life inventory constraints, when alternative termination styles are required for circuit redesign, or when sourcing from alternative manufacturers improves supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the NL67H2R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Neon Type: All substitutes must be neon indicator lights
• Lamp Color: Red lamp required
• Voltage Range: Substitutes must operate within 105V ~ 130V or 105V ~ 125V (overlapping range acceptable)
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 0.50" (12.70mm) round cutout mandatory for mechanical compatibility
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required

The three substitute parts (1030QD1, 1050QA1, 1050QC1) from Visual Communications Company (VCC) meet these core substitution criteria. All three are neon red indicators with identical panel cutout dimensions and ROHS3 compliance. The primary differences are lens transparency, lens style, and termination method, which represent design trade-offs rather than functional incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: The NL67H2R maintains Active product status, while all three VCC substitutes are classified as Not For New Designs. This distinction is critical for long-term design decisions.

For Existing Designs: The 1050QC1 provides the closest mechanical and optical match to the NL67H2R, featuring an identical round flat-top lens style. This part is recommended when the original termination method is compatible with Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) terminals.

For Optical Consistency: The NL67H2R's diffused lens transparency is not explicitly matched in the substitute list. The 1030QD1 and 1050QA1 do not specify lens transparency, while 1050QC1 also does not specify this parameter. Lens transparency differences may affect light diffusion characteristics in the application.

For Voltage Margin: The NL67H2R operates to 130V, while all substitutes are rated to 125V maximum. Applications operating above 125V require the original NL67H2R.

Compliance Status: All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1030QD1, 1050QA1, or 1050QC1 be used as direct replacements for NL67H2R?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for all three substitutes, as they share identical panel cutout dimensions (0.50" / 12.70mm round). However, the termination style differs from the NL67H2R (which does not specify termination), and all substitutes use Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) terminals. Circuit redesign may be required to accommodate this termination change.

Q: What is the voltage compatibility range?

A: The NL67H2R operates from 105V to 130V. All three VCC substitutes operate from 105V to 125V. Applications requiring operation above 125V must use the original NL67H2R.

Q: How do lens styles differ between these parts?

A: The NL67H2R features a round flat-top lens. The 1050QC1 also has a round flat-top lens, providing visual consistency. The 1030QD1 and 1050QA1 feature round domed-top lenses, which may alter the light distribution pattern and aesthetic appearance.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The NL67H2R and all three substitutes (1030QD1, 1050QA1, 1050QC1) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the substitute parts?

A: This product status indicates that VCC does not recommend these parts for new circuit designs. They may have limited future availability or ongoing support. The NL67H2R, with Active status, is the preferred choice for new designs.

Q: Do these parts have identical current ratings?

A: Current ratings are not specified for any of these parts in the provided data. Consult manufacturer datasheets for detailed electrical characteristics before final selection.
