Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 67041K506X qualifies as a direct substitute for the 67041K506 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Circuit configuration remains DPDT
• Current rating maintained at 3A AC
• Voltage rating maintained at 125V AC
• Mounting type remains Panel Mount, Rear
• Actuator type and color unchanged (Square Button, White)
• Termination style remains Solder Lug
• Panel cutout dimensions remain Rectangular - 64.62mm x 15.88mm

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification, not functional or physical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 67041K506X is the direct functional equivalent of the 67041K506. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate for new designs and component replenishment due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. The obsolete status of the original part necessitates transition to the 67041K506X for continued supply chain reliability. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability in existing circuit designs and panel installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 67041K506X be used as a direct replacement for the 67041K506?

A: Yes. The 67041K506X is electrically and mechanically identical to the 67041K506. All critical parameters—circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator specifications, termination style, and panel cutout dimensions—are identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?
