Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the D4V-8169Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT topology
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 125V AC and 24V DC
• Actuator type: Spring and wire actuation
• Mounting configuration: Chassis mount
• Termination method: Screw terminal
• Ingress protection: IP65 rating
• Operating force: 90gf
• Pretravel distance: 1.180" (30.0mm)
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 60°C
• Electrical life: 300,000 cycles minimum
• Mechanical life: 10,000,000 cycles minimum

The D4V-8169Z-N is classified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete D4V-8169Z across all specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The D4V-8169Z-N is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete D4V-8169Z. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and environmental ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D4V-8169Z-N directly replace the D4V-8169Z in existing installations?

A: Yes. The D4V-8169Z-N maintains identical electrical ratings (5A at 125V AC, 24V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), actuator type (spring and wire), mounting method (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal). Pretravel distance, operating force, and environmental specifications are equivalent across both components.

Q: What is the primary difference between the D4V-8169Z and D4V-8169Z-N?

A: The D4V-8169Z is classified as obsolete, while the D4V-8169Z-N maintains active product status. Both components are functionally and electrically equivalent. The D4V-8169Z-N is the manufacturer-designated active alternative for procurement and new applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What certifications apply to the D4V-8169Z-N?

A: The D4V-8169Z-N is RoHS compliant and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level classification, matching the specifications of the original D4V-8169Z.

Q: Is the D4V-8169Z-N suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both components operate across the -20°C to 60°C temperature range with identical electrical life (300,000 cycles) and mechanical life (10,000,000 cycles) specifications.
