Electrical and light characteristics
Reference data specify a luminous flux of 8 lm and a service-life figure of 4500 hours at the rated operating point. The transparent envelope provides uncoloured light. Voltage outside the specified value changes filament temperature, light output and life, so the lamp must be matched to the intended circuit rather than chosen by appearance.
Construction and installation
The lamp uses a S6s base and has reference dimensions of 17 × 5.5 mm. The clear glass envelope, filament supports, contact arrangement and locating pins or base profile are part of its identification. Similar SM lamps can have different contacts and ratings. Installation should be made with power removed and without forcing the glass or base into the holder.
Identification and related lamps
Check the complete designation, voltage, power, base and dimensions before ordering. Nearby catalogue positions include SM 6.3-1.6 (SM 34), SM 7.5-9 (STs-88), SM 13-10, SM 13-15; they support comparison within the aircraft-lamp family and do not indicate interchangeability. The general operating principle is described in the incandescent lamp reference.
Inspection and ordering
Before installation, inspect the envelope, filament, base, contacts and locking features. Do not use a lamp with cracked glass, a loose base or damaged contacts. An enquiry should state SM 6.3-1.4, required quantity, equipment or holder type and document requirements. A photograph of the existing lamp or package helps confirm the correct execution.
