The part number **47NLR-AW-R** typically refers to a **Neon Indicator Lamp** assembly, often produced by manufacturers like **Visual Communications Company (VCC)** or similar industrial component suppliers. These are used as status indicators in appliances, control panels, and industrial machinery. --- ### 1. Component Specifications Below are the typical technical characteristics for this specific part series: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Lamp Type** | Neon | | **Lens Color** | Amber / Orange (indicated by "A") | | **Voltage Rating** | 125V AC (Standard for most 47 series) | | **Termination Style** | Wire Leads (indicated by "W") | | **Resistor** | Internal (Built-in current limiting resistor) | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount (typically 0.312" or 5/16" hole) | | **Compliance** | RoHS Compliant (indicated by "-R") | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps identify the physical properties of the component: * **47**: The series designation (Panel mount indicator). * **N**: Neon light source (as opposed to LED or Incandescent). * **L**: High brightness variant (usually). * **R**: Rectangular or specific housing style (varies by manufacturer catalog). * **A**: **Amber** lens color. * **W**: **Wire Leads** (Flexible copper leads for wiring connections). * **-R**: **RoHS** compliant (Lead-free). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics #### Internal Resistor Neon lamps require a high striking voltage to ionize the gas inside the bulb. Once the gas is ionized, the resistance drops significantly. The **47NLR** series includes a built-in resistor in series with the lamp to prevent the component from drawing excessive current and burning out instantly. #### Operational Life * **Longevity:** Neon lamps are known for extreme durability, often rated for **25,000 to 50,000 hours** of continuous use. * **Power Consumption:** Extremely low, typically drawing less than **2mA** of current. #### Applications * **Main Power Indicators:** Used to show if a device is connected to 120V AC power. * **Industrial Controls:** Status lights on heavy machinery. * **Kitchen Appliances:** Indicator lights for ovens, coffee makers, and fryers. --- ### 4. Installation Wiring Diagram Since these are AC components with wire leads, polarity is generally not a concern. ```text [Line (L)] -------- (Wire Lead 1) [ 47NLR Indicator ] (Wire Lead 2) -------- [Neutral (N)] ```
