Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part ALFD212611DNUA is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical manufacturer (IDEC)
• Identical base product number (ALFD212611)
• Matching physical form factor (30mm pushbutton)
• Matching electrical specifications (120V, 1NO1NC contact configuration, momentary operation)
• Identical RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Identical trade classification (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9035)

The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete while the substitute is active, making ALFD212611DNUA the recommended selection for new applications and replacements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ALFD212611DNUA is the appropriate selection for component replacement and new designs. The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete ALFD212611DN-A while offering the advantage of active product status and ongoing manufacturer availability. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance certification and trade classification codes, ensuring regulatory and customs compliance equivalence. The shift from standard to bulk packaging in the substitute part reflects current manufacturing practices without affecting functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ALFD212611DNUA directly replace ALFD212611DN-A in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (120V, 1NO1NC configuration, momentary operation), physical dimensions (30mm), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). Direct substitution is functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status indicates continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current standards. Obsolete status means the part is no longer in production and may face supply constraints.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part uses standard packaging while the substitute uses bulk packaging. This reflects distribution method only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9035) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: What parameters determine substitutability for this component category?

A: For 30mm illuminated pushbutton switches, substitutability is determined by: manufacturer, base product number, physical size, contact configuration (1NO1NC), voltage rating (120V), operation type (momentary), and compliance certifications (RoHS status, ECCN, HTSUS).
