ASD3K00-1-RLC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASD3K00-1-RLC is a configurable switch body with keylock actuator and non-illuminated design, manufactured by IDEC in the TWTD series. This component is classified as obsolete and requires compatible contact block(s) for complete assembly. Due to its obsolete status, identification of active equivalent parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and supply chain continuity for applications requiring this switch body configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASD3K00-1-RLC is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: IDEC (maintained across all substitutes)
• Category: Configurable Switch Components (maintained)
• Actuator Type: Keylock (maintained)
• Illumination: Non-Illuminated (maintained)
• Type: Maintained (maintained)
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 30.5mm (Round) (maintained)
• Contact Block Requirement: Compatible contact block(s) required (maintained)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained)

The substitute part ASD0302KT8B meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. The primary difference is the series designation (TWND versus TWTD) and active part status, which enables continued procurement and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ASD0302KT8B is the designated equivalent for the obsolete ASD3K00-1-RLC. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental requirement alignment.

Functional Equivalence: All critical parameters—actuator type (keylock), illumination status (non-illuminated), switch type (maintained), and panel cutout dimensions (30.5mm round)—are identical between the main part and substitute.

Active Part Status: The ASD0302KT8B is classified as active, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain reliability. The main part ASD3K00-1-RLC is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Series Transition: The substitute operates within the TWND series rather than the TWTD series. Both series are IDEC configurable switch platforms with compatible contact block interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ASD0302KT8B directly replace the ASD3K00-1-RLC in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including panel cutout dimensions (30.5mm round), actuator type (keylock), switch type (maintained), and contact block interface requirements. The substitute is functionally equivalent for applications currently using the main part.

Q: What is the difference between the TWTD and TWND series?

A: Both are IDEC configurable switch series. The TWND series (ASD0302KT8B) is the active production line, while the TWTD series (ASD3K00-1-RLC) is obsolete. Series designation reflects manufacturing generation and availability status, not functional capability.

Q: Are contact blocks interchangeable between these parts?

A: Both the main part and substitute require compatible IDEC contact block(s) for assembly. Contact block compatibility is determined by the base product architecture and series designation. Verify contact block part numbers against the TWND series compatibility matrix.

Q: Does the substitute maintain the same RoHS and MSL ratings?

A: Yes. The ASD0302KT8B maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), identical to the main part. No regulatory or environmental requirement changes result from this substitution.

Q: Why is the main part classified as obsolete?

A: The ASD3K00-1-RLC is obsolete due to product line consolidation within IDEC's configurable switch portfolio. The TWND series (represented by ASD0302KT8B) supersedes the TWTD series as the active production platform.
