Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ALD348620DN-A has one identified substitute within the IDEC product family: ALD348620DNUA. This substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Both parts share the same base product number (ALD348620), indicating they belong to the same product platform
• Both maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status
• Both maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• Both share the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.50.9035)
• The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing supply continuity

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging configuration and specific form factor designation (DN-A versus DNUA), which reflects different mechanical mounting or operational specifications within the same electrical family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALD348620DNUA is the designated substitute for the obsolete ALD348620DN-A. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Identical regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Identical environmental classification (MSL 1)
• Identical trade classification codes (ECCN and HTSUS)
• Active production status ensuring supply availability
• Shared base product platform within the IDEC ALD348620 family

The transition from ALD348620DN-A to ALD348620DNUA is appropriate for applications requiring continued component availability and compliance maintenance.
