Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the AOFD210N-S is based on the following criteria:

• Functional Equivalence: Both parts are 30mm pushbutton switches within the AOFD series
• Manufacturer Consistency: Substitute parts are from the same manufacturer (IDEC)
• Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications
• Moisture Sensitivity: Substitute parts share the same MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Base Product Alignment: The substitute AOFD210NUS shares the base product number AOFD210, confirming mechanical and electrical compatibility

The AOFD210NUS is classified as an active product, providing a viable replacement path for the obsolete AOFD210N-S.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AOFD210NUS is the direct substitute for the AOFD210N-S based on the following factors:

• Product Status Alignment: The AOFD210NUS maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, meeting all regulatory requirements
• Base Product Compatibility: Shared base product number (AOFD210) confirms mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Moisture Sensitivity Equivalence: Identical MSL rating ensures equivalent environmental performance characteristics

Selection of the AOFD210NUS eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and compliance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AOFD210NUS directly replace the AOFD210N-S?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (AOFD210), identical RoHS compliance status, MSL rating, and regulatory classifications (ECCN/HTSUS). The AOFD210NUS is the active equivalent of the obsolete AOFD210N-S.

Q: What is the difference between AOFD210N-S and AOFD210NUS?

A: The primary difference is product status: AOFD210N-S is obsolete, while AOFD210NUS is active. The AOFD210NUS includes specification of a blue color and 1NO (one normally open) contact configuration. Both maintain identical electrical and environmental compliance parameters.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AOFD210N-S packaging is listed as standard, while AOFD210NUS is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and handling but does not impact functional or electrical characteristics.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AOFD210N-S and AOFD210NUS are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9035) classifications, meeting all applicable regulatory standards.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these pushbutton switches?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
