Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AOFD120NUB serves as a direct substitute for the AOFD120N-B based on the following substitution criteria:

• Manufacturer Consistency: Both parts are manufactured by IDEC, ensuring design and functional compatibility
• Form Factor: Both are 30mm pushbutton switches with identical mechanical interface dimensions
• Electrical Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1)
• Regulatory Classification: Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9035) classifications
• Base Product Lineage: The AOFD120NUB is derived from the same base product number (AOFD120) as the original part

The primary distinction is product status: AOFD120N-B is obsolete, while AOFD120NUB is active and currently available in inventory.
