Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 38FSP8B6M7RT

The 38FSP8B6M7RT remains the specified component for applications requiring exact electrical and mechanical parameters as originally designed. This part is in active production status with confirmed inventory availability of 1051 pieces. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

Substitute Part: 800SP8B6M7QE

The 800SP8B6M7QE from E-Switch is qualified as a direct substitute when the primary part is unavailable. This component maintains identical circuit configuration, switch function, mounting geometry, and actuator specifications. The substitute part exceeds the primary part in current rating (3A versus 0.4VA), voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC versus 20V AC/DC), and electrical life (50,000 cycles versus 30,000 cycles). Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Inventory availability for the substitute is 1271 pieces.

Selection between these components should be based on application voltage and current requirements. For applications operating within 20V AC/DC and 0.4VA specifications, either component is suitable. For applications requiring higher voltage or current capacity, the 800SP8B6M7QE provides enhanced performance margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
