Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is permitted if the electrical and mechanical parameters, compliance certifications, and package format match directly between primary and substitute selector switch components. Only parameters explicitly provided—such as description, compliance (RoHS3, ECCN, HTSUS), packaging type, and status—are considered. Substitutes are required to be of the same manufacturer, family, and compliance status, with matching descriptions or functions.

Key parameters validating substitution:

• Manufacturer
• Description & Detailed Description
• Packaging
• Series
• Product Status
• RoHS Compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
• ECCN & HTSUS Codes

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The direct substitute IDEC ASLD3313620DNUA matches the original ASLD3312620DN-A across critical parameters: series, manufacturer, packaging, description, compliance (RoHS3), ECCN, HTSUS, and MSL. The substitute part is listed as "Active" in contrast to the "Obsolete" status of the main part, supporting continued availability with the same compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the mandatory substitution criteria for selector switches in this series?
A1: Substitution requires matching manufacturer, packaging, product series, compliance status (RoHS3), ECCN, HTSUS code, and function-related descriptions.

Q2: Is form factor or packaging type significant in selecting an equivalent selector switch?
A2: Yes, both parts feature Bulk packaging, ensuring mechanical compatibility for assembly and logistics.

Q3: Are there compliance concerns when switching to the substitute IDEC ASLD3313620DNUA?
A3: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and have identical ECCN and HTSUS codes, ensuring matched regulatory status.

Q4: Why is the status of 'Obsolete' important?
A4: Obsolete status indicates discontinuation, requiring engineers to source ‘Active’ alternatives for ongoing or new designs.

Q5: Are inventory levels relevant to the substitution process?
A5: Inventory values confirm availability but do not affect component compatibility or substitution validation. Only provided inventory data is referenced.

Q6: Will moisture sensitivity impact the substitution?
A6: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no restrictions due to moisture sensitivity for storage or handling.

Q7: Does product series or base product number influence equivalence?
A7: Series is listed as * for both products, aligning their family grouping and further validating substitution.
