Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EAO 41-463.036 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPST-NO/NC
• Current rating: 100mA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 42V AC and 42V DC
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Front
• Termination style: PC Pin, Solder Lug
• Ingress protection: IP40

The EAO 31-463.036 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical specifications and mounting requirements. The primary distinction is the panel cutout dimension difference (circular 16.00mm diameter versus rectangular 21.00mm x 15.00mm) and active product status of the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EAO 31-463.036 is the designated substitute for the obsolete EAO 41-463.036. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications and are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Panel cutout dimension modification is required when implementing the 31-463.036 as a replacement, as the circular 16.00mm diameter opening differs from the rectangular 21.00mm x 15.00mm specification of the original part. This mechanical adaptation must be evaluated within the context of the host equipment design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EAO 31-463.036 be used as a direct electrical replacement for the 41-463.036?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (DPST-NO/NC), current rating (100mA AC/DC), voltage rating (42V AC/DC), termination style (PC Pin, Solder Lug), and ingress protection (IP40). Electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The panel cutout dimensions differ. The 41-463.036 requires a rectangular opening of 21.00mm x 15.00mm, while the 31-463.036 requires a circular opening of 16.00mm diameter. The 31-463.036 also provides documented operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C) and mechanical life rating (1,000,000 cycles).

Q: Does the panel cutout dimension difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. The dimensional difference is mechanical only and does not impact electrical specifications, switching characteristics, or voltage/current ratings.

Q: Is the 31-463.036 available in the same packaging as the 41-463.036?

A: The 31-463.036 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 41-463.036 packaging specification was not provided in the available data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the EAO 41-463.036 and EAO 31-463.036 are ROHS3 compliant.
