ASLD3200-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASLD3200-2 is a configurable switch operator from IDEC's TWTD series, designed as an illuminated selector switch body component. This part functions as an accessory switch operator requiring separate contact blocks, illumination sources, and lenses for complete assembly. The ASLD3200-2 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASLD3200-2 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Manufacturer: IDEC (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Configurable Switch Components (functional classification)
• Actuator Type: Selector (operational mechanism)
• Type: Momentary (switching behavior)
• Illumination: Illuminated (functional requirement)
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 30.5mm (Round) (mechanical interface requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance)

The ASLD0328T8 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical parameters while transitioning from the obsolete TWTD series to the active TWND series. Both parts share identical mechanical mounting, electrical function, and regulatory compliance profiles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ASLD0328T8 is the direct substitute for the obsolete ASLD3200-2. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Product Status: The ASLD3200-2 is obsolete; the ASLD0328T8 is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying current environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Functional Equivalence: Identical electrical and mechanical parameters ensure drop-in compatibility within existing panel assemblies and control systems.
• Series Transition: The transition from TWTD to TWND series represents a product line evolution while maintaining backward compatibility through identical interface specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ASLD0328T8 directly replace the ASLD3200-2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical panel cutout dimensions (30.5mm round), actuator type (selector), switching behavior (momentary), and illumination characteristics. No mechanical or electrical modifications are required.

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

A: The TWND series represents the active product line continuation of the TWTD series. The ASLD0328T8 (TWND) maintains all functional and mechanical specifications of the ASLD3200-2 (TWTD) while offering current manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental tolerance and regulatory standing.

Q: What additional components are required for installation?

A: Both the ASLD3200-2 and ASLD0328T8 require contact blocks, illumination sources, and lenses as separate components to form a complete switch assembly.

Q: Is the ASLD0328T8 available in the same packaging as the ASLD3200-2?

A: The ASLD0328T8 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements against your procurement specifications.
