ALD248611DN-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ALD248611DN-A is a 30mm illuminated pushbutton switch manufactured by IDEC, classified as a pushbutton switch component. This part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and system continuity in applications where this component was originally specified.

The primary reason for identifying substitutes is the obsolete status of the main part number, which may result in limited availability or discontinuation of supply. Active equivalent models ensure continued access to functionally compatible components.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ALD248611DN-A is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Manufacturer: IDEC (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Size: 30MM (physical form factor requirement)
• Product Category: Pushbutton Switch (functional classification)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance)
• ECCN and HTSUS Classification: Maintained across substitutes (trade and export compliance)

The substitute part ALD248611DNUA shares the same base product number (ALD248611) and maintains all critical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters. The primary distinction is the product status transition from obsolete to active, with packaging specified as bulk format.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALD248611DNUA is the direct substitute for the obsolete ALD248611DN-A based on the following engineering criteria:

• Product Status: The substitute part maintains active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.
• Manufacturer Consistency: Both parts are manufactured by IDEC, maintaining design and quality standards.
• Base Product Alignment: Both parts share the same base product number (ALD248611), indicating they are part of the same product family with compatible specifications.
• Environmental Tolerance: Identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (1 - Unlimited) confirms equivalent environmental performance characteristics.

Selection of ALD248611DNUA eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full compatibility with existing system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ALD248611DNUA be used as a direct replacement for ALD248611DN-A?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number, manufacturer, size classification, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute part is the active equivalent of the obsolete main part.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. ALD248611DN-A is obsolete, while ALD248611DNUA is active. The suffix variation (DN-A versus DNUA) reflects packaging and availability designation. Both maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences I should consider?

A: The substitute part (ALD248611DNUA) is specified with bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging is not specified in available documentation. Bulk packaging is standard for active production parts and does not affect component functionality or performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9035) classifications, confirming equivalent regulatory status for procurement and export purposes.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level, and why is it important?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special environmental controls.
