Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 38FSP9B6M7RT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST-NO topology must be maintained
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 0.4VA and voltage ratings of 20V AC/DC are non-negotiable
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole, right-angle vertical mounting with PC pin termination
• Actuator Specification: Round plunger actuator with black color
• Switch Function: Off-momentary operation
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating required
• Operating Temperature: -30°C to 85°C range

The substitute part 800AWSP9M7RE from E-Switch meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 38FSP9B6M7RT and 800AWSP9M7RE are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these components should be based on the following factors:

38FSP9B6M7RT (Grayhill Inc.): Select this component when the original design specification requires Grayhill series compatibility or when the 30,000-cycle electrical life rating is sufficient for the application.

800AWSP9M7RE (E-Switch): Select this component when extended electrical life (50,000 cycles) is required or when IP67 ingress protection is necessary for the application environment. This substitute also offers higher inventory availability (1402 units in stock versus 636 units).

Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including voltage ratings, current capacity, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory compliance in equivalent measure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 800AWSP9M7RE be used as a direct replacement for 38FSP9B6M7RT in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), mounting type (through-hole right-angle vertical), actuator specification (round black plunger), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). PC pin termination is identical on both parts.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these two switches?

A: The 38FSP9B6M7RT is rated for 30,000 electrical cycles, while the 800AWSP9M7RE is rated for 50,000 electrical cycles. The 800AWSP9M7RE provides extended cycle life for applications requiring higher switching frequency or longer operational duration.

Q: Does the IP67 rating on the 800AWSP9M7RE affect compatibility?

A: No. The IP67 ingress protection rating on the 800AWSP9M7RE represents an enhanced specification that does not compromise compatibility. Applications not requiring IP67 protection can use either component without functional impact.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and panel cutout requirements identical?

A: Both components are specified for through-hole, right-angle vertical mounting with PC pin termination. Panel cutout dimensions are not provided in the technical specifications for either component.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both components?

A: Both the 38FSP9B6M7RT and 800AWSP9M7RE are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
