Engineering Selection Recommendations
The 970-009-020R121 is the direct functional equivalent of the 970-009-020-121. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:
- Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain support
- ROHS3 compliance meets current regulatory requirements for electronic components
- Identical mechanical and electrical specifications guarantee direct compatibility
- Bulk packaging availability supports production requirements
The obsolete status of the original part number necessitates transition to the active equivalent for new designs and ongoing production.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are the 970-009-020-121 and 970-009-020R121 mechanically interchangeable?
