Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 982A03R is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Mom (momentary operation)
• Current ratings: 125mA AC / 250mA DC
• Voltage ratings: 125V AC / 28V DC
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Actuator type: Plunger for Cap
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Series compatibility: 98000R family

The 982A03RX meets all these criteria as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: 982A03RX is active and RoHS3 compliant, whereas 982A03R is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 982A03RX is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 982A03R. Both components share identical electrical ratings, circuit configuration, and mechanical specifications. The 982A03RX is preferred for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and RoHS3 compliance. For legacy systems currently using 982A03R, the 982A03RX provides pin-compatible replacement without circuit redesign. Both parts maintain equivalent regulatory classification under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.9031.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 982A03RX replace 982A03R in existing designs? A: Yes. The 982A03RX is a direct substitute with identical electrical ratings (125mA AC at 125V, 250mA DC at 28V), circuit configuration (SPDT), and mechanical specifications (through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, plunger actuator).

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts? A: Product status and compliance. The 982A03R is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 982A03RX is active and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current procurement and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences? A: The 982A03R is supplied in standard packaging, while 982A03RX is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same termination style? A: Yes. Both use PC pin termination for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Q: Are there any voltage or current rating differences? A: No. Both parts are rated identically: 125mA AC at 125V and 250mA DC at 28V.
