Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 1241.6430 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount orientation, front installation, and 30.30mm circular cutout dimension
• Electrical Function: SPST-NO circuit configuration with momentary (Off-Mom) switch function
• Current and Voltage Ratings: 125mA DC at 48V DC maximum
• Environmental Protection: IP65 ingress protection rating
• Illumination Specification: Blue LED indicator
• Durability: 1,000,000 mechanical and electrical cycle life
• Operating Conditions: -20°C to +60°C temperature range
• Termination Method: Wire leads connection

The SCHURTER 1241.6409 qualifies as a direct substitute based on equivalence across all mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters. The primary distinction is the illumination voltage specification, which differs from the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 1241.6409 is the active production equivalent to the obsolete 1241.6430. Both parts maintain identical mechanical, electrical, and environmental specifications within the MCS series. The 1241.6409 is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and current manufacturing availability.

The illumination voltage difference (12 VDC vs. 24 VDC) represents the only parameter variance. System designers must evaluate whether the existing illumination circuit can accommodate the 24 VDC requirement of the substitute part, or whether circuit modification is necessary. Both parts carry identical REACH compliance status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1241.6409 be used as a direct replacement for the 1241.6430 in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all switch function parameters. The illumination voltage specification differs (24 VDC vs. 12 VDC). Compatibility depends on whether the illumination circuit in the existing assembly can supply 24 VDC. If the circuit is fixed at 12 VDC, circuit modification is required.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 1241.6430 and 1241.6409 require a 30.30mm circular panel cutout. No mechanical modification to the panel is necessary for substitution.

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

A: The 1241.6430 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The 1241.6409 is active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental protection standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated IP65 (dust tight, water resistant) and operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 125mA DC at 48V DC maximum, with identical 1,000,000 cycle mechanical and electrical life specifications.
