ASD3K00-2-RC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASD3K00-2-RC is a configurable switch operator manufactured by IDEC, designed as a maintained-type keylock actuator for the TWTD series. This component functions as a switch body assembly requiring compatible contact blocks for complete operation. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain system availability and support ongoing maintenance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASD3K00-2-RC is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Actuator Type: Keylock (non-illuminated configuration)
• Switch Type: Maintained operation
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 30.5mm round opening
• Manufacturer Compatibility: IDEC configurable switch platform
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 certification and MSL Level 1

The substitute part ASD0306KT8D maintains functional equivalence through identical actuator type, switch operation, panel cutout specification, and environmental compliance ratings. The primary difference is series designation (TWND vs. TWTD) and product status transition from obsolete to active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ASD0306KT8D serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete ASD3K00-2-RC. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Identical mechanical interface (30.5mm round panel cutout)
• Matching electrical operation (maintained keylock actuator, non-illuminated)
• Equivalent environmental compliance (ROHS3, MSL Level 1)
• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain support
• Maintained contact block interface requirements

The transition from TWTD to TWND series represents a product line evolution within IDEC's configurable switch platform while preserving functional and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ASD0306KT8D directly replace ASD3K00-2-RC in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions (30.5mm round), actuator type (keylock), switch operation (maintained), and contact block interface requirements. The series designation change (TWTD to TWND) reflects product line evolution, not functional incompatibility.

Q: Are there compatibility considerations with contact blocks?

A: Both the main part and substitute require compatible IDEC contact blocks. Verify contact block part numbers are specified for TWND series compatibility when sourcing replacements.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The active status of ASD0306KT8D ensures ongoing manufacturing, inventory availability, and technical support. This eliminates supply chain risk associated with the obsolete ASD3K00-2-RC.

Q: Do environmental compliance ratings differ between these parts?

A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), ensuring equivalent performance in specified environmental conditions.

Q: Is packaging a consideration for substitution?

A: The ASD0306KT8D is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process, as this may differ from the original part's packaging specification.
