Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3500-P10-8A is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 8A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 250V (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 80V (exact match required)
• Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic (exact match required)
• Number of Poles: 1 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (exact match required)
• Actuator Type: Push to Reset (exact match required)
• Approval Agencies: CSA C22.2 No 235, IEC 60934, UL1077 (all certifications required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (compliance required)

The 3400-IG8-P10-8A qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it matches all critical electrical and mechanical specifications, maintains identical regulatory certifications, and demonstrates equivalent RoHS compliance status.
