Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 8C2011C-Z belongs to the Nidec 8C series of panel-mount toggle switches. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Physical dimensions (Panel cutout 6.50mm, bushing thread 1/4-40)
• Actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.40mm length)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Environmental compliance (RoHS3)

The 8C2011-Z qualifies as a substitute based on identical mechanical and electrical interface parameters, despite differences in current and voltage ratings. Both parts share the same base product number (8C2011), series designation, and physical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8C2011-Z is an active production substitute for the obsolete 8C2011C-Z. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces and circuit topology, enabling direct replacement in panel-mount applications. The 8C2011-Z provides enhanced electrical ratings (4A DC at 30V, 6A AC at 125V) compared to the original specification (25mA DC at 20V), making it suitable for applications requiring the original part's functionality with additional capacity margin. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent environmental sealing specifications. The 8C2011-Z offers an extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 85°C), providing improved thermal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8C2011-Z directly replace the 8C2011C-Z in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical panel-mount dimensions (6.50mm cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread), actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.40mm length), and termination style (Solder Lug). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are current and voltage ratings. The 8C2011-Z is rated for 4A DC at 30V and 6A AC at 125V, compared to the 8C2011C-Z specification of 25mA DC at 20V. The 8C2011-Z also provides a wider operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C).

Q: Why is the 8C2011C-Z classified as obsolete?

A: The 8C2011C-Z is no longer in active production. The 8C2011-Z serves as the current production equivalent within the same series.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 8C2011C-Z and 8C2011-Z are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 8C2011C-Z is supplied in standard packaging. The 8C2011-Z is available in bulk packaging.
