  • Consistent export classification (EAR99) with the original part
  • Defined electrical specifications (5A at 240V AC / 24V DC) and mechanical durability (10,000,000 cycles) suitable for limit switch applications
  • Enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67) provides environmental sealing capability

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 608.7802.003 no longer available? A: The 608.7802.003 has reached obsolete status in the manufacturer's product lifecycle. Altech Corporation no longer manufactures this part number.

Q: Is the 608.7000.004 a direct replacement? A: The 608.7000.004 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts are limit switches with metal body construction from Altech Corporation. Verify that the electrical specifications (5A, 240V AC / 24V DC) and mechanical characteristics (DPST-NC circuit, chassis mount, screw terminal) are compatible with your application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts? A: The substitute part 608.7000.004 provides fully specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including circuit configuration (DPST-NC), current and voltage ratings, actuator type (round pin plunger), and ingress protection (IP66/IP67). The original part number lacks detailed specification documentation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the 608.7802.003 and 608.7000.004 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the packaging difference? A: The 608.7802.003 packaging is not specified. The 608.7000.004 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Can I use the 608.7000.004 in existing installations? A: Compatibility depends on your specific application requirements. Verify that the electrical ratings (5A, 240V AC / 24V DC), circuit configuration (DPST-NC), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal) match your system design before implementation.
