Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AOFD220N-W is based on the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer Consistency: IDEC maintains product lineage through base product numbers and extended part variants
• Physical Form Factor: 30mm pushbutton configuration
• Electrical Classification: Pushbutton switch category (8536.50.9035 HTSUS)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status and MSL Level 1
• Trade Classification: EAR99 ECCN designation

The substitute part AOFD220NUW shares the identical base product number (AOFD220) and maintains all critical compliance and environmental parameters, establishing direct substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AOFD220NUW is the direct substitute for the obsolete AOFD220N-W. Both components share identical base product designation, regulatory compliance certifications, and environmental ratings. The substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification, ensuring compatibility with existing procurement and regulatory frameworks.

The transition from AOFD220N-W to AOFD220NUW is supported by active product status of the substitute, providing assured supply chain continuity and technical support availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AOFD220NUW directly replace AOFD220N-W in existing installations? A: Yes. Both components share the identical base product number (AOFD220), maintain equivalent RoHS and MSL ratings, and are classified under the same HTSUS and ECCN codes. Substitution is direct.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number match? A: The base product number (AOFD220) indicates that both the main part and substitute are variants within the same product family. IDEC uses this designation to establish functional and mechanical compatibility across part variants.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitutability? A: Packaging format (Standard vs. Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by procurement volume and inventory management requirements, not component functionality.

Q: Why is the AOFD220N-W classified as obsolete? A: Obsolescence indicates that IDEC has discontinued active production and support for this specific part number. The AOFD220NUW represents the current active equivalent within the product family.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical between the two parts? A: Yes. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, EAR99 ECCN designation, and identical HTSUS classification (8536.50.9035).
