Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the AOFD402N-R is based on the following criteria:

• Manufacturer alignment with IDEC product line
• Pushbutton switch functional category
• 30mm form factor compatibility
• ROHS3 compliance maintenance
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classification

The substitute part AOFD402NUR shares the same base product number (AOFD402) and maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. The primary distinction is packaging configuration and product status transition from obsolete to active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AOFD402NUR serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete AOFD402N-R. Both components maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3), moisture sensitivity ratings, and trade classification codes. The transition from obsolete to active product status makes AOFD402NUR the appropriate selection for new procurement and system continuity. Packaging differences (bulk configuration for the substitute) do not affect functional or mechanical compatibility for standard installation applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes AOFD402NUR a valid substitute for AOFD402N-R? A: Both parts share the same base product number (AOFD402), identical RoHS compliance, MSL rating, and trade classifications. The substitute is the active production equivalent of the obsolete original part.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between these parts? A: Both components maintain the 30mm form factor specification. The substitute includes a 65mm depth specification in its description, which represents the mechanical envelope. Verify mounting cavity dimensions in your application before substitution.

Q: Does packaging affect component selection? A: The AOFD402NUR is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part number does not specify packaging format. Bulk packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance; it only impacts order quantity and handling procedures.

Q: Are compliance certifications maintained with this substitute? A: Yes. Both the AOFD402N-R and AOFD402NUR maintain ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 ECCN classification, and identical HTSUS coding (8536.50.9035).

Q: Why is the original part marked as obsolete? A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation of a specific configuration. The AOFD402NUR represents the active production variant within the same product family, ensuring continued availability and support.
