ASKHF3L04AC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASKHF3L04AC is a snap action SPDT switch manufactured by C&K, designed for chassis mount applications with quick connect termination. This switch is rated for 25A AC at 125V and 2A DC at 24V, featuring a lever actuator with on-momentary function. The product is active and in stock with 839 units available. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific performance requirements, or regional availability considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The E13-00H from ZF Electronics qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Mom
• Voltage rating (AC): 125V
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Operating position: 0.312" (7.9mm)
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameters:

• Current rating (AC): 15A vs. 25A
• DC voltage rating: 48V vs. 24V
• Actuator type: Straight vs. Leaf
• Operating force: 100gf vs. 340gf
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C vs. -55°C ~ 85°C
• Electrical life: 6,000 cycles vs. 75,000 cycles

Substitution is valid when the application current requirement does not exceed 15A AC and the operating environment falls within -40°C to 105°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ASKHF3L04AC and E13-00H are active products with ROHS3 compliance, suitable for applications requiring snap action SPDT switching at 125V AC. The ASKHF3L04AC provides higher current capacity (25A AC) and extended electrical life (75,000 cycles), making it the primary choice for high-cycle or high-current applications. The E13-00H is suitable for applications with current requirements not exceeding 15A AC and operating environments within -40°C to 105°C. Both parts feature identical mounting and termination specifications, enabling direct mechanical interchange in chassis mount configurations. Selection should be based on specific current and cycle life requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can E13-00H replace ASKHF3L04AC in all applications?

A: No. The E13-00H is rated for 15A AC maximum, compared to 25A AC for the ASKHF3L04AC. Substitution is valid only when application current does not exceed 15A AC.

Q: Are the mounting and termination specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use chassis mount configuration with Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) termination and identical 0.312" (7.9mm) operating position, enabling direct mechanical interchange.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these parts?

A: The ASKHF3L04AC is rated for 75,000 electrical cycles, while the E13-00H is rated for 6,000 cycles. Applications requiring extended cycle life should use the ASKHF3L04AC.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both the ASKHF3L04AC and E13-00H are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: The ASKHF3L04AC operates from -55°C to 85°C, while the E13-00H operates from -40°C to 105°C. The E13-00H provides a wider upper temperature range but narrower lower temperature range.

Q: Are the actuator types interchangeable?

A: The actuator types differ: ASKHF3L04AC uses a lever with leaf design, while E13-00H uses a straight lever design. Mechanical feel and actuation characteristics will differ, though both are on-momentary function switches.

Q: What is the DC voltage rating difference?

A: The ASKHF3L04AC is rated for 24V DC, while the E13-00H is rated for 48V DC. The E13-00H supports higher DC voltage applications.
