Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ASD202NU-104 be used as a direct replacement for ASD202N-104?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (ASD202), manufacturer (IDEC), functional classification (selector switch), and all critical compliance parameters (RoHS3, MSL, ECCN, HTSUS). The primary difference is packaging format and production status.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The ASD202N-104 uses standard packaging, while ASD202NU-104 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and logistics but does not alter the functional or electrical characteristics of the component.

Q: Are there any compliance concerns when substituting ASD202NU-104 for ASD202N-104?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance certification and share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming equivalent regulatory and trade compliance status.

Q: Why is the ASD202N-104 listed as obsolete?

A: The ASD202N-104 has been discontinued by IDEC. The ASD202NU-104 represents the active production equivalent within the same product family.

Q: Are the electrical and mechanical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Both parts are classified as two-position selector switches from the same ASD202 product series manufactured by IDEC. Functional equivalence is established through shared base product designation and identical compliance certifications.
