CFT2-2SC6-AW Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CFT2-2SC6-AW is a toggle switch manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) momentary-off-momentary switch rated for 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC. The switch features through-hole, right-angle vertical mounting with a standard round actuator and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CFT2-2SC6-AW is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration must be DPDT to maintain dual-pole switching capability. Switch function must be Mom-Off-Mom to preserve momentary operation in both directions. Current and voltage ratings must match or exceed 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC to ensure electrical compatibility. Mounting type must be through-hole, right-angle, vertical to guarantee mechanical fit on the PCB. Actuator type must be standard round with 3.80mm length for panel interface compatibility. Termination style must be PC pin for solder connection compatibility. Operating temperature range must encompass the application environment. RoHS3 compliance is required for regulatory alignment.

The G28AV manufactured by NKK Switches meets all these critical parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The G28AV from NKK Switches is the qualified substitute for the obsolete CFT2-2SC6-AW. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The G28AV is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

For applications operating within the temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, the G28AV provides full functional equivalence. Applications requiring operation below -25°C must retain the CFT2-2SC6-AW or identify alternative solutions with extended low-temperature ratings.

The G28AV demonstrates superior electrical life (50,000 cycles versus 10,000 cycles), providing enhanced durability and extended service intervals. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, supporting modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the G28AV directly replace the CFT2-2SC6-AW in existing designs?

A: Yes, the G28AV is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle, vertical), actuator specifications (standard round, 3.80mm length), and termination style (PC pin). No PCB modifications are required.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The CFT2-2SC6-AW operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the G28AV operates from -25°C to 85°C. For applications requiring operation below -25°C, the CFT2-2SC6-AW is necessary. For standard industrial and commercial applications within -25°C to 85°C, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Why does the G28AV have a higher electrical life rating?

A: The G28AV is rated for 50,000 cycles compared to the CFT2-2SC6-AW at 10,000 cycles. This difference reflects manufacturing improvements in the NKK Switches design. The higher rating does not affect substitution compatibility; it indicates enhanced durability and longer service life in the replacement part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The CFT2-2SC6-AW is available in standard packaging, while the G28AV is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical PC pin termination and through-hole mounting. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes, both the CFT2-2SC6-AW and G28AV are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, meeting modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
