Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 608.7385.014 no longer available? A: The 608.7385.014 has reached end-of-life status and is classified as obsolete. Altech Corporation has designated the 608.7000.061 as the active replacement within their product portfolio.

Q: What are the key differences between the 608.7385.014 and 608.7000.061? A: The primary difference is product status: the original is obsolete while the substitute is active. The 608.7000.061 provides specified electrical ratings (5A, 240V AC, 24V DC), defined mechanical life (15,000,000 cycles), and documented operating temperature range (-30°C to 75°C). The original part specifications for these parameters were not provided in available documentation.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes, both the 608.7385.014 and 608.7000.061 maintain ROHS3 compliance status.

Q: What is the packaging difference? A: The 608.7385.014 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The 608.7000.061 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Can the 608.7000.061 be used as a direct replacement? A: The 608.7000.061 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Compatibility depends on verification that the electrical specifications (5A, 240V AC, 24V DC), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal) meet the requirements of the application using the original 608.7385.014.
