Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3ATL620 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST-NO topology must be maintained
• Contact Rating: Electrical performance at 0.05A @ 24VDC or higher
• Mounting Type: Through-hole PCB mounting compatibility
• Actuator Characteristics: Top actuation with comparable mechanical properties
• Outline Dimensions: Physical footprint compatibility (10.10mm x 10.10mm)
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS and REACH certification status
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN and HTSUS codes for supply chain continuity

The substitute part 5GTH93522 from APEM Inc. is identified as a functionally equivalent alternative based on matching circuit topology, contact rating capability, and through-hole mounting configuration. Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9031) classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency.

Parameter Comparison
