Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ALD248620DN-S is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Manufacturer: IDEC (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Product Category: Pushbutton Switch (functional equivalence)
• Base Product Number: ALD248620 (core design platform)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance match)
• ECCN and HTSUS Classification: Identical (trade and export compliance)

The substitute part ALD248620DNUS shares the same base product number and all critical compliance parameters, establishing it as a direct equivalent within the IDEC ALD248620 product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALD248620DNUS is the direct substitute for the obsolete ALD248620DN-S. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating, and trade classification codes. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for replacement applications. The transition from the obsolete DN-S variant to the active DNUS variant preserves all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility parameters within the ALD248620 product family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ALD248620DNUS directly replace ALD248620DN-S in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (ALD248620), manufacturer (IDEC), RoHS compliance level, and environmental ratings. The DNUS variant is the active production equivalent of the obsolete DN-S variant.

Q: What is the significance of the DN-S and DNUS suffixes?

A: These suffixes denote packaging and distribution channel variants within the same ALD248620 product platform. The DN-S is obsolete; the DNUS is the current active equivalent available in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9035) classifications, and share the same MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: The ALD248620DN-S (837 Pcs) is available as new original stock but is obsolete. The ALD248620DNUS (678 Pcs) is available as new original stock and is in active production, making it the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing applications.
