VL100GP600 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VL100GP600 is a 6mm panel mount LED indicator manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for applications requiring a red indicator light with 2V operating voltage and 40mA maximum current. This component features a round lens with flat top styling and is suitable for flush panel mounting applications.

The VL100GP600 is classified as obsolete. Identifying suitable substitute components is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades where this indicator is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VL100GP600 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Compatibility: Operating voltage must be 2V to ensure direct circuit integration without modification
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Round cutout of 0.24" (6.10mm) is required for mechanical fit in existing panel designs
• Lamp Color: Red color specification must be maintained for application consistency
• Current Rating: Maximum current of 40mA or lower ensures safe operation within circuit design limits
• Lens Style: Round with flat top configuration maintains visual consistency and optical performance
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance ensures continued market eligibility

The Q6F7CXXR02E qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters: identical voltage (2V), identical panel cutout dimensions (0.24"/6.10mm), identical lamp color (Red), lower maximum current (20mA, which is within the 40mA tolerance), identical lens style (Round with Flat Top), and equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Q6F7CXXR02E is an active product from the same manufacturer (APEM Inc.) and maintains full regulatory compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The substitute part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in applications currently using the VL100GP600.

The Q6F7CXXR02E operates at identical voltage (2V) and panel cutout dimensions (0.24"/6.10mm), ensuring compatibility with existing circuit designs and mechanical assemblies. The maximum current rating of 20mA is lower than the original 40mA specification, which is acceptable for substitution as it represents a more conservative operating point.

Selection of the Q6F7CXXR02E eliminates obsolescence risk by transitioning to an active product with confirmed inventory availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Q6F7CXXR02E be used as a direct replacement for the VL100GP600?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage (2V), panel cutout dimensions (0.24"/6.10mm), lamp color (Red), and lens style (Round with Flat Top). The substitute operates at 20mA maximum current, which is within acceptable limits for circuits designed for the original 40mA specification.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts?

A: The VL100GP600 has a maximum current rating of 40mA, while the Q6F7CXXR02E is rated at 20mA. The lower current rating of the substitute does not prevent substitution; it indicates more conservative power consumption and heat generation.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both components feature identical round panel cutout dimensions of 0.24" (6.10mm) and the same lens style (Round with Flat Top), ensuring mechanical fit in existing panel designs without modification.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The Q6F7CXXR02E is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original VL100GP600.

Q: What is the product status difference?

A: The VL100GP600 is obsolete, while the Q6F7CXXR02E is active. This makes the substitute the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Does the Q6F7CXXR02E offer additional features?

A: The Q6F7CXXR02E includes diffused lens transparency, 100° viewing angle, IP67 ingress protection, and wire leads with 7.87" (200.00mm) length. These are additional capabilities not specified in the original part but do not affect substitution compatibility.
