AOD-100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The AOD-100 is a configurable switch operator manufactured by IDEC, designed as a pushbutton actuator with round non-illuminated design for the TWTD series. This component functions as an accessory switch body requiring compatible contact blocks for operation. The AOD-100 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new installations where TWTD series components are specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AOD-100 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Manufacturer: IDEC (maintained across substitute)
• Actuator Type: Pushbutton, Round (maintained across substitute)
• Illumination: Non-Illuminated (maintained across substitute)
• Type: Maintained (maintained across substitute)
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 30.5mm (Round) (maintained across substitute)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained across substitute)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained across substitute)
• Contact Block Requirement: Both parts require compatible contact blocks

The AOD1200T8 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The transition from TWTD series to TWND series represents a product line evolution while maintaining functional equivalence for the switch operator component.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AOD1200T8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete AOD-100. Selection is based on:

• Product Status: AOD1200T8 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings
• Functional Equivalence: All critical parameters—actuator type, illumination, operation type, and panel cutout dimensions—are identical
• Series Transition: The shift from TWTD to TWND series represents standard product line evolution within IDEC's configurable switch portfolio

For applications currently specified with AOD-100, direct substitution with AOD1200T8 is supported without modification to contact block requirements or panel mounting specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AOD1200T8 replace AOD-100 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The AOD1200T8 maintains identical mechanical and electrical parameters, including panel cutout dimensions (30.5mm round), actuator type (pushbutton, round), and contact block interface requirements. No panel modification or rewiring is necessary.

Q: What is the difference between TWTD and TWND series?

A: TWTD and TWND are distinct product series within IDEC's configurable switch component line. The AOD1200T8 operates within the TWND series while maintaining functional equivalence to the TWTD-based AOD-100. Both series support the same 30.5mm round panel cutout and maintained pushbutton operation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between AOD-100 and AOD1200T8?

A: AOD1200T8 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or compatibility with contact blocks.

Q: Do both parts require contact blocks?

A: Yes. Both AOD-100 and AOD1200T8 are configurable switch operators that require compatible contact blocks for complete switch assembly and operation.

Q: Are RoHS and MSL ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.
