AL6M-M24P-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AL6M-M24P-R is a 16mm illuminated pushbutton switch manufactured by IDEC, currently in active product status with 841 units in stock. This component serves as a panel-mount control interface for industrial applications requiring visual feedback through illumination. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design flexibility is required within compatible electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AL6M-M24P-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel mount configuration with 16mm circular cutout diameter
• Front-facing actuator orientation
• Illuminated pushbutton design with round button actuator

Electrical Compatibility:

• Illumination voltage: 24 VDC nominal
• Illumination type: LED with red color output
• Pushbutton switch function with momentary operation capability

Environmental & Compliance:

• IP66 ingress protection rating (dust tight, oil and water resistant)
• Operating temperature range: -10°C to 55°C
• RoHS compliance requirement

The substitute part A165L-TRM-24D-2 (Omron Automation and Safety) meets these core substitution criteria through matching mechanical form factor, electrical specifications, and environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The AL6M-M24P-R remains the preferred selection when IDEC component standardization is required within existing system designs. Active product status and current inventory availability (841 units) support immediate procurement.

Substitute Part Selection: The A165L-TRM-24D-2 serves as a direct functional equivalent when:

• IDEC part availability is constrained
• Omron component standardization is preferred in the design platform
• RoHS compliance documentation is required (explicitly stated for A165L-TRM-24D-2)
• Equivalent electrical performance and mechanical form factor are acceptable

Both parts maintain active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain viability. The A165L-TRM-24D-2 provides additional documented compliance through explicit RoHS certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes A165L-TRM-24D-2 a valid substitute for AL6M-M24P-R?

A: Both components share identical mechanical mounting specifications (16mm panel cutout, front-mount configuration), matching illumination parameters (24 VDC LED, red color), equivalent environmental ratings (IP66, -10°C to 55°C operating range), and identical actuator geometry (round button). Both maintain active product status.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: The A165L-TRM-24D-2 specifies additional electrical parameters (DPDT circuit, 5A at 125V AC, On-Mom function) not provided in the AL6M-M24P-R input data. Verification of circuit configuration and current/voltage ratings against application requirements is necessary before substitution.

Q: What is the mechanical compatibility status?

A: Both parts are mechanically compatible for panel-mount applications with 16mm circular cutout dimensions. No mechanical modification is required for direct substitution in existing panel assemblies.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The A165L-TRM-24D-2 is explicitly documented as RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for AL6M-M24P-R is not specified in the provided input data.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: AL6M-M24P-R: 841 units in stock. A165L-TRM-24D-2: 980 units in stock. Both are available as new original components in bulk packaging.
