ABD-300 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ABD-300 is a configurable switch body pushbutton component manufactured by IDEC, designed for momentary operation with non-illuminated, round actuator configuration. This part is classified as obsolete and requires contact block(s) and lens components for complete assembly. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with compatible electrical and mechanical parameters is necessary for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ABD-300 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer compatibility: IDEC
• Panel cutout dimensions: 30.5mm (Round) — ensures mechanical fit in existing panel installations
• Operation type: Momentary
• Illumination requirement: Non-Illuminated
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part ABD3400T8 shares the same panel cutout dimension, operation type, illumination specification, and RoHS compliance status. However, the actuator type differs (mushroom versus round), and the series designation changes from TWTD to TWND. These differences must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ABD3400T8 is an active product substitute for the obsolete ABD-300. Both components maintain identical panel cutout dimensions (30.5mm round), operation type (momentary), illumination specification (non-illuminated), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). The primary distinction is the actuator geometry: ABD-300 features a round pushbutton, while ABD3400T8 features a mushroom pushbutton. This geometric difference affects operator interface characteristics and may impact ergonomic or safety requirements specific to the application. Both parts are classified under the same HTSUS and ECCN codes, confirming equivalent regulatory treatment. Selection between these parts depends on whether the application permits actuator geometry substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ABD3400T8 directly replace ABD-300 in existing installations?

A: Both parts share the same 30.5mm round panel cutout dimension and momentary operation type, enabling mechanical compatibility. However, the actuator shape differs (round versus mushroom), which may affect operator interface requirements or safety certifications specific to your application.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by panel cutout dimensions, operation type (momentary), illumination requirement (non-illuminated), and RoHS compliance status. Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Why is ABD-300 listed as obsolete?

A: ABD-300 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. ABD3400T8 is an active product offering equivalent electrical and mechanical functionality.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact blocks and lens components?

A: ABD-300 requires contact block(s) and lens. ABD3400T8 requires contact block(s). Verify lens compatibility with your specific contact block selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: ABD-300 packaging is not specified in available data. ABD3400T8 is supplied in bulk packaging.
