Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CMD-KEY5-418 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Frequency: 418MHz (exact match required)
• Function: Transmitter (exact match required)
• Modulation/Protocol: ASK, OOK (exact match required)
• Interface Configuration: Handheld, 5 Button (exact match required)
• Operating Distance: 750 ft. (exact match required)
• Voltage Supply Range: 2.1V – 3.6V (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)
• REACH Compliance: REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The substitute part OTX-418-HH-KF5-HT meets all these criteria and is manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, the same original equipment manufacturer.
