Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the original 608.1152.007 and substitute 608.1000.001 should be based on the following factors:

• Product lifecycle status: The 608.1152.007 is obsolete. The 608.1000.001 is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support and availability assurance.
• Regulatory compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 requirements and carry identical export classifications (EAR99), ensuring compliance in regulated markets.
• Supply continuity: Current inventory of the original part (1096 Pcs) supports immediate replacement needs. The substitute part (914 Pcs in stock) provides an active-status alternative for future procurement cycles.
• Certification alignment: Both parts maintain equivalent compliance postures with respect to environmental and trade regulations.

For new designs or long-term system support, the 608.1000.001 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and manufacturer backing.
