Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The D6C30 F1 LFS qualifies as a direct substitute for the D6C30 LFS based on the following critical parameters:

All electrical specifications are identical: SPST-NO circuit configuration, 100mA DC current rating, and 32V DC voltage rating. The mechanical characteristics match exactly: square button actuator, yellow color, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Environmental performance parameters are equivalent: -20°C to 85°C operating temperature range, 250,000 cycle electrical life, and tactile feedback feature. Both components maintain identical RoHS compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

The primary distinction is product status: D6C30 F1 LFS is active production with 7,243 units in stock, whereas D6C30 LFS is obsolete. The D6C30 F1 LFS represents the current production variant within the same D6 series from C&K.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The D6C30 F1 LFS is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete D6C30 LFS. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in circuit designs. The D6C30 F1 LFS carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (7,243 units), eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete D6C30 LFS variant.

Compliance certifications are maintained: both components are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. The D6C30 F1 LFS meets ROHS3 compliance, representing an enhanced regulatory position compared to the original RoHS designation.

Packaging differs between variants: D6C30 LFS uses standard packaging while D6C30 F1 LFS is supplied in tray packaging. This distinction affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are D6C30 LFS and D6C30 F1 LFS electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical SPST-NO circuit configuration, 100mA DC current rating, and 32V DC voltage rating. Electrical performance and switching characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product lifecycle status. D6C30 LFS is obsolete, while D6C30 F1 LFS is active production. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Packaging differs: D6C30 F1 LFS uses tray packaging.

Q: Can I use D6C30 F1 LFS as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The D6C30 F1 LFS maintains identical mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), actuator configuration (square yellow button), and all electrical ratings. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. D6C30 F1 LFS carries ROHS3 compliance, which represents current regulatory standards. This is a compliance enhancement with no negative impact on compatibility.

Q: What is the mechanical life specification for these switches?

A: Mechanical life data is not provided in the component specifications. Both parts specify 250,000 electrical life cycles with tactile feedback operation.

Q: How does packaging affect component selection?

A: D6C30 F1 LFS is supplied in tray packaging, which affects receiving, storage, and handling procedures. Electrical and mechanical performance remain unchanged. Confirm tray packaging compatibility with your assembly and storage infrastructure.
