AOD-300 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AOD-300 is a configurable switch operator manufactured by IDEC, designed as a pushbutton mushroom actuator for non-illuminated switch applications. This component functions as an accessory switch body requiring compatible contact blocks for operation. The AOD-300 operates in maintained mode and is compatible with the TWTD series platform.

The AOD-300 has reached obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new installations where this component specification remains required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AOD-300 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Actuator Type: Pushbutton, Mushroom configuration
• Illumination: Non-Illuminated
• Operation Type: Maintained
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 30.5mm (Round)
• Manufacturer: IDEC
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The AOD3400T8 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. While the AOD3400T8 operates within the TWND series rather than TWTD, both series share the same configurable switch platform architecture and panel cutout specifications, enabling functional equivalence in applications requiring the AOD-300 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AOD3400T8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete AOD-300. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for pushbutton mushroom actuator applications.

The primary distinction is product status: the AOD-300 is obsolete with no further manufacturing, while the AOD3400T8 maintains active production status. The AOD3400T8 is available in bulk packaging and provides continued supply chain access for applications requiring non-illuminated, maintained-operation pushbutton operators with 30.5mm round panel cutout dimensions.

Series compatibility between TWTD and TWND platforms is established through the configurable switch body architecture, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the IDEC switch component ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AOD3400T8 directly replace the AOD-300 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical actuator type, illumination specification, operation mode, panel cutout dimensions, and compliance certifications. The AOD3400T8 functions as a direct mechanical and electrical equivalent.

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

A: Both series represent configurable switch platforms within the IDEC product line. The TWTD series (AOD-300) is obsolete, while the TWND series (AOD3400T8) remains in active production. Both series maintain compatible panel cutout specifications and contact block interfaces.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AOD-300 original packaging specification is not provided. The AOD3400T8 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Does the switch require additional components for operation?

A: Yes. Both the AOD-300 and AOD3400T8 require compatible contact blocks to complete functional switch assemblies. Contact block selection is independent of operator body selection and is determined by circuit requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AOD-300 and AOD3400T8 meet ROHS3 compliance standards and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.
