Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SCHURTER 1241.6404 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1241.6425 based on the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit Configuration: Both parts maintain SPST-NO circuit topology
  • Current Rating: Both rated at 125mA DC
  • Voltage Rating: Both rated at 48V DC
  • Mounting Configuration: Both feature panel mount, front installation with identical 30.30mm circular cutout
  • Actuator Design: Both use round, flush button actuators with silver color
  • Illumination Type: Both incorporate blue LED illumination
  • Ingress Protection: Both meet IP65 specification
  • Operating Temperature: Both operate across -20°C to 60°C range
  • Mechanical and Electrical Life: Both rated at 1,000,000 cycles
  • Termination: Both use wire leads

The primary distinction is the illumination voltage range: the 1241.6425 operates at 12VDC nominal, while the 1241.6404 accepts 5–28VDC. This expanded voltage tolerance in the substitute part provides greater design flexibility without compromising core switching functionality.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 1241.6404 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1241.6425. Both parts are manufactured by SCHURTER Inc. within the MCS series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for switching operation, current handling, voltage rating, and panel integration.

The 1241.6404 holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part is RoHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification, maintaining regulatory alignment.

The expanded illumination voltage range (5–28VDC) of the 1241.6404 compared to the fixed 12VDC specification of the 1241.6425 provides design flexibility without introducing compatibility constraints in systems operating at the original 12VDC illumination voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1241.6404 directly replace the 1241.6425 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical SPST-NO circuit configuration, 125mA DC current rating, 48V DC voltage rating, panel mount geometry with 30.30mm cutout, and wire lead termination. Mechanical and electrical life specifications are equivalent at 1,000,000 cycles each.

Q: What is the significance of the different illumination voltage specifications?

A: The 1241.6425 operates at 12VDC nominal illumination voltage. The 1241.6404 accepts 5–28VDC illumination voltage. In applications using 12VDC illumination, the 1241.6404 operates within its specified range and functions identically. The broader voltage tolerance does not affect switching performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1241.6425 is listed with packaging designation "-" (not specified). The 1241.6404 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts use identical wire lead termination and panel mount configuration.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1241.6404 is RoHS3 compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status. Both parts are classified as EAR99 for export purposes and share the same HTSUS code (8536.50.9031).

Q: Why is the 1241.6425 classified as Obsolete?

A: The 1241.6425 has reached end-of-life status. The 1241.6404 remains in Active production within the same MCS series, providing functional continuity for new designs and system maintenance.
