Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 982A06R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: DPDT topology must be maintained
• Switch Function: On-Mom (momentary) operation required
• Current Ratings: 125mA AC and 250mA DC minimum
• Voltage Ratings: 125V AC and 28V DC minimum
• Mounting Type: Through hole configuration
• Termination Style: PC pin connection
• Actuator Type: Plunger for cap design
• Manufacturer Series: 98000R family

The 982A06RX meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the same manufacturer series, with identical electrical specifications and mechanical configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 982A06RX is the direct substitute for the obsolete 982A06R. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 98000R series. The primary distinction is product status: the 982A06R is obsolete while the 982A06RX is active production.

For new designs or system replacements, the 982A06RX is the appropriate selection. This substitute provides ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. The active production status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 982A06RX be used as a direct replacement for the 982A06R?

A: Yes. The 982A06RX is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 982A06R. Both components feature identical DPDT circuit configuration, current ratings (125mA AC, 250mA DC), voltage ratings (125V AC, 28V DC), through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and plunger actuator design.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting the 982A06RX over the 982A06R?

A: The 982A06RX is in active production status, ensuring availability and supply chain reliability. Additionally, the 982A06RX meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the 982A06R does not.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 982A06R packaging specification is not defined. The 982A06RX is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Do these switches have identical pinout and footprint?

A: Yes. Both components use PC pin termination and through-hole mounting, ensuring identical PCB footprint and pinout compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 982A06RX?

A: The 982A06RX is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original 982A06R is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected.
