Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ABFD201NUR is identified as a direct substitute for the ABFD201N-R based on the following alignment criteria:

• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by IDEC
• Product Category: Both are classified as pushbutton switches
• Physical Form Factor: Both are 30mm pushbutton switches
• Base Product Number: ABFD201NUR shares the base product number ABFD201 with the main part
• RoHS Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Export Classification: Both assigned ECCN EAR99
• Tariff Classification: Both share HTSUS code 8536.50.9035

The primary distinction is product status: ABFD201N-R is obsolete while ABFD201NUR is active, making ABFD201NUR the appropriate substitute for new procurement and replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ABFD201NUR is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete ABFD201N-R based on the following engineering criteria:

• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, ensuring regulatory requirements are met in replacement applications
• Environmental Rating: Matching MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings confirm equivalent environmental performance characteristics
• Export Classification: Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications ensure no changes to supply chain documentation or export procedures
• Active Product Status: ABFD201NUR is currently in active production status, ensuring availability and long-term supply continuity
• Manufacturer Consistency: Both parts originate from IDEC, maintaining design and quality standards within the same manufacturer ecosystem

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ABFD201NUR be used as a direct replacement for ABFD201N-R?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters including RoHS compliance, moisture sensitivity rating, and export classifications. The primary difference is product status: ABFD201N-R is obsolete while ABFD201NUR is active.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging specifications?

A: ABFD201N-R lists packaging as unspecified (-), while ABFD201NUR is supplied in Bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for active production parts and does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance concerns when substituting ABFD201NUR for ABFD201N-R?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8536.50.9035. Substitution does not introduce compliance changes.

Q: Why is ABFD201N-R listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer production status. ABFD201NUR represents the active equivalent within the IDEC product line and should be used for new designs and procurement.

Q: Do the different descriptions indicate functional differences?

A: The descriptions reflect different documentation formats from IDEC. Both parts are classified as 30mm pushbutton switches with identical core parameters. The ABFD201NUR description includes additional operational details (momentary, extended shroud, 1NC contact configuration, red color), but these do not alter the substitution validity based on provided parameters.
