Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SCHURTER 3-132-119 is determined by functional equivalence within the MSM-19 series. The primary substitute part maintains identical mechanical form factor, electrical switching characteristics, and series designation. Substitution eligibility is based on:

• Identical series classification (MSM-19)
• Equivalent pushbutton switch functionality
• Compatibility with the same mounting and connection interfaces
• Manufacturer validation as a direct replacement

The substitute part 3-145-440 meets these criteria as an active production equivalent within the same product line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 3-145-440 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 3-132-119. Selection of the substitute part is justified by:

• Active production status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical series designation confirming functional and mechanical compatibility
• Manufacturer validation as a direct replacement
• Equivalent new original stock availability

For applications currently using 3-132-119, transition to 3-145-440 is supported by SCHURTER as the primary path forward for component replenishment and new designs.
