Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SCHURTER 0041.0402 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0041.0404 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical core parameters that define functional interchangeability:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Current rating: 2A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 125V AC / 50V DC
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Switch function: On-Mom (Momentary)
• Actuator type: Round, Plunger
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Ingress protection: IP40
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mechanical life: 200,000 Cycles
• Electrical life: 100,000 Cycles
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary difference between these parts is actuator color (blue for 0041.0404 versus red for 0041.0402) and product status (obsolete versus active). The 0041.0402 is currently in active production with higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 0041.0402 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 0041.0404. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications, mechanical durability ratings, and environmental compliance certifications. The 0041.0402 is currently in active production status with established supply chain availability, making it the appropriate selection for applications requiring the 0041.0404 specification.

Actuator color differentiation (blue versus red) is a cosmetic distinction that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection between these parts should be based on visual identification requirements within the end application. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0041.0402 be used as a direct replacement for the 0041.0404?

A: Yes. The 0041.0402 provides identical electrical and mechanical performance. All critical parameters including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator design, and lifecycle specifications are matched. The only difference is actuator color and product availability status.

Q: What is the significance of the actuator color difference?

A: Actuator color serves as a visual indicator within the end application. The 0041.0404 features a blue actuator while the 0041.0402 features a red actuator. This distinction is cosmetic and does not impact electrical function, switching performance, or mechanical durability.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0041.0404 and 0041.0402 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.

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

A: The 0041.0404 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production.
