Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 95.85.3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Series designation: Must remain within the Finder 95 series
• Number of positions: Must maintain 8-position configuration
• Mounting type: Must support DIN rail mounting
• Termination style: Must use screw terminal connections
• Relay compatibility: Must support 40.51, 40.52, 40.61, 40.62 relay series
• Manufacturer: Finder Relays, Inc.

The identified substitute maintains all these parameters while offering improved availability and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 95.85.3SMA is the direct substitute for the discontinued 95.85.3. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 8-position configuration, DIN rail mounting, screw terminal termination, and compatibility with the 40.51, 40.52, 40.61, and 40.62 relay series. The primary distinction is product status: the 95.85.3SMA maintains active availability with current inventory, while the original part is discontinued. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected compliance status. Selection of the 95.85.3SMA eliminates supply chain risk for applications currently specified with the 95.85.3.
