AVD-300 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AVD-300 is a configurable switch body designed for E-Stop applications with a round, non-illuminated actuator. Manufactured by IDEC as part of the TWTD series, this component serves as the base assembly for emergency stop control stations. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and new installations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AVD-300 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 30.5mm (Round) — mechanical compatibility requirement
• Illumination: Non-Illuminated — functional requirement
• Type: Maintained — operational characteristic
• Manufacturer Compatibility: IDEC product ecosystem
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant — regulatory requirement

The AVD000T8 shares the same panel cutout dimension (30.5mm round), non-illuminated specification, maintained type operation, and ROHS3 compliance. However, the actuator type differs: AVD000T8 features a pushbutton mushroom actuator rather than an E-Stop round actuator. This difference places it in a related but distinct functional category within the IDEC configurable switch component family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AVD000T8 is an active product with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete AVD-300. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions, non-illuminated operation, maintained type functionality, and regulatory certifications.

Selection between these components depends on application-specific actuator requirements. The AVD-300 E-Stop round actuator is designed for emergency stop applications requiring distinctive tactile and visual identification. The AVD000T8 pushbutton mushroom actuator serves general-purpose switching applications. Mechanical panel compatibility is assured for both due to matching 30.5mm round cutout specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AVD000T8 directly replace AVD-300 in an existing installation?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching 30.5mm round panel cutout dimensions. However, the actuator type differs: AVD-300 provides E-Stop round functionality while AVD000T8 provides pushbutton mushroom functionality. Application requirements determine suitability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between AVD-300 and AVD000T8?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of product status differences?

A: AVD-300 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. AVD000T8 is active, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability for new applications and replacements.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact blocks?

A: AVD-300 requires contact block(s) and lens. AVD000T8 requires contact block(s). Verify contact block compatibility with your specific control circuit requirements before implementation.

Q: Are packaging considerations relevant for substitution?

A: AVD-300 packaging is unspecified in available data. AVD000T8 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional compatibility but may influence procurement and inventory management.
