A0214Y Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The A0214Y is a 30mm configurable switch body pushbutton operator manufactured by APEM Inc. as part of the A02 series. This illuminated, round momentary pushbutton is designed for industrial control applications and requires separate contact block(s), illumination source, and lens components for complete assembly.

The A0214Y is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement, repair, and new installations where this component is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the A0214Y is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Actuator Type: Pushbutton, Round (mechanical interface requirement)
• Illumination: Illuminated (functional requirement)
• Type: Momentary (operational characteristic)
• Category: Configurable Switch Components (functional classification)
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Determines physical panel mounting compatibility

The substitute part LBW6ML-M0 shares the core functional characteristics of the A0214Y: both are illuminated, round momentary pushbutton operators in the configurable switch components category. However, the panel cutout dimension differs (22.3mm for LBW6ML-M0 versus 30mm for A0214Y), which represents a mechanical incompatibility for direct panel mounting without modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LBW6ML-M0 is an active product from IDEC and represents a functionally equivalent alternative to the obsolete A0214Y. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance and share identical MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental performance characteristics.

The primary consideration for selection is panel cutout dimension compatibility. The A0214Y requires a 30mm round cutout, while the LBW6ML-M0 requires a 22.3mm round cutout. This dimensional difference necessitates panel modification or adapter solutions for direct substitution in existing installations designed for the A0214Y.

Both components require separate contact block(s), illumination source, and lens assemblies for complete functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LBW6ML-M0 be used as a direct replacement for A0214Y in existing panels?

A: Functional substitution is possible, but panel cutout modification is required. The A0214Y uses a 30mm round cutout, while LBW6ML-M0 uses a 22.3mm round cutout. Panel drilling or adapter mounting may be necessary.

Q: Are the RoHS and MSL compliance ratings equivalent between these parts?

A: Yes. Both A0214Y and LBW6ML-M0 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental performance and handling requirements.

Q: What additional components are required for either part?

A: Both the A0214Y and LBW6ML-M0 are configurable switch bodies that require contact block(s), illumination source, and lens components for complete assembly and operation.

Q: Why is the A0214Y listed as obsolete?

A: The A0214Y is no longer in active production by APEM Inc. The LBW6ML-M0 from IDEC is an active product offering equivalent functional characteristics for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The A0214Y packaging information is not specified in the provided data. The LBW6ML-M0 is supplied in box packaging.
