Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ASD302NU qualifies as a direct substitute for the ASD302N based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Identical manufacturer (IDEC)
• Identical functional classification (selector switch, three-position)
• Matching RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Matching moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• Identical export classification (ECCN: EAR99)
• Identical tariff classification (HTSUS: 8536.50.9025)
• Shared base product number (ASD302)

The primary distinction is product status: ASD302NU is active production, whereas ASD302N is obsolete.
