ASD211N Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASD211N is a selector switch manufactured by IDEC, featuring a 2-position DPST-NO/NC configuration rated for 10A AC at 110V and 8A DC at 24V. This panel-mount switch is designed for industrial control applications requiring reliable on-off switching with dual-pole, dual-throw functionality. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for maintenance, repair, and legacy system support. The ASD211N operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 50°C with an IP65 ingress protection rating and has achieved 500,000 mechanical cycles of operational life.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASD211N is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: DPST-NO/NC topology must be maintained
• Current and Voltage Ratings: 10A AC at 110V and 8A DC at 24V minimum
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount with 30.50mm circular cutout
• Termination: Screw terminal connection
• Ingress Protection: IP65 rating for dust and moisture resistance
• Operating Temperature: -25°C to 50°C range capability
• Regulatory Compliance: CCC, CE, CSA, TUV, and UL certifications

The ASD211NU is identified as a direct substitute based on matching base product number (ASD211) and maintained electrical specifications. While the ASD211NU is listed as active product status with bulk packaging, it maintains compatibility with the original ASD211N electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

• RoHS Compliance: The ASD211NU maintains ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions
• Base Product Continuity: Both parts derive from the same ASD211 base product family, indicating design and functional continuity within the IDEC product line

The ASD211NU is available in bulk packaging with 658 pieces in current inventory, providing immediate procurement options for replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ASD211NU directly replace the ASD211N in existing installations?

A: The ASD211NU shares the same base product number (ASD211) and maintains ROHS3 compliance and identical trade classifications as the ASD211N. However, complete electrical and mechanical specifications for the ASD211NU should be verified against your specific application requirements before installation.

Q: What is the difference between the ASD211N and ASD211NU part numbers?

A: The ASD211N is an obsolete product, while the ASD211NU is an active product from IDEC. The "U" suffix in the ASD211NU designation indicates a variant within the ASD211 product family. Both parts are classified under the same HTSUS and ECCN codes.

Q: Is the ASD211NU available in different packaging options?

A: The ASD211NU is supplied in bulk packaging. The original ASD211N was supplied with standard packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for panel-mount installation.

Q: What certifications does the ASD211NU carry?

A: The ASD211NU maintains ROHS3 compliance. For complete certification details including CCC, CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals, refer to the manufacturer's technical documentation for the ASD211NU variant.

Q: Are there any other substitutes available for the ASD211N?

A: Based on the provided data, the ASD211NU is the identified direct substitute. Additional alternatives within the IDEC selector switch product line may exist; consult IDEC's current product catalog for comprehensive options.
