Omron 44524-3040 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Omron 44524-3040 is a snap action flex switch with dual actuation capability, classified as an obsolete product. This switch is no longer in active production, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications. The part remains available in inventory (998 pcs) as new original stock, but long-term availability cannot be assured due to its obsolete status. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with the original electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status for future procurement reliability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Omron 44524-3040 are identified from the D4GS-N series, specifically models D4GS-N4R and D4GS-N4T. These substitutes are selected based on the following criteria derived from available technical parameters:

Common Qualifying Parameters:

  • Manufacturer: Omron Automation and Safety (same manufacturer ensures design consistency)
  • Switch Type: Interlock non-locking configuration
  • Circuit Configuration: 3PST-NC (three pole, single throw, normally closed)
  • Current Rating: 750mA AC
  • Voltage Rating: 240VAC
  • Holding Force: 6kgf
  • Actuator Type: Panel Disconnect
  • Termination Style: Cable Leads
  • Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 70°C
  • Ingress Protection: IP67 (dust tight, waterproof)
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
  • Packaging: Bulk

Both D4GS-N4R and D4GS-N4T maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with the primary distinction being REACH compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both D4GS-N4R and D4GS-N4T are active products from Omron's D4GS-N series and represent direct functional equivalents to the obsolete 44524-3040. The selection between these two substitutes depends on regulatory requirements:

D4GS-N4R: Select this part when REACH compliance is required for your application or supply chain. This part is designated as REACH Affected.

D4GS-N4T: Select this part when REACH compliance is not a constraint or when REACH Unaffected status is preferred. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Both substitutes carry active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both comply with ROHS3 standards and hold certifications from CCC, CE, cULus, and TUV, meeting industrial safety and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 44524-3040 being discontinued? A: The 44524-3040 is classified as obsolete and no longer manufactured. The D4GS-N series represents Omron's current product line for equivalent interlock switch applications.

Q: Are D4GS-N4R and D4GS-N4T electrically identical? A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (3PST-NC), current rating (750mA AC), voltage rating (240VAC), holding force (6kgf), operating temperature range (-30°C to 70°C), and ingress protection (IP67). The difference is REACH compliance designation.

Q: What is the difference between D4GS-N4R and D4GS-N4T? A: The primary difference is REACH status. D4GS-N4R is REACH Affected, while D4GS-N4T is REACH Unaffected. Select based on your regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use these substitutes as direct replacements? A: Both D4GS-N4R and D4GS-N4T maintain the same electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and termination style (cable leads with 1m length). Compatibility depends on your specific application requirements and regulatory environment.

Q: What certifications do the substitute parts carry? A: Both D4GS-N4R and D4GS-N4T are certified by CCC, CE, cULus, and TUV, and comply with ROHS3 standards.

Q: Is there a difference in packaging between the main part and substitutes? A: The main part packaging is not specified. The substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging.
