Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ED G AC 0 can be substituted with EDGAC0LFS based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Circuit configuration: Both are SPST-NO
• Contact rating: Both rated 0.05A @ 100VAC/DC
• Actuator type and orientation: Both feature snap dome, top-actuated design
• Mounting type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Mechanical specifications: Identical actuator height (1.20mm), switch travel (0.30mm), and operating force (240gf)
• Mechanical life: Both rated for 1,000,000 cycles
• Operating temperature range: Both operate -55°C ~ 85°C
• Termination style: Both use PC Pin termination
• Base product number: Both belong to EDGAC family

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format (Bag versus Tube) and product status (Obsolete versus Active), with EDGAC0LFS offering RoHS3 compliance compared to the non-compliant status of ED G AC 0.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EDGAC0LFS is the direct substitute for ED G AC 0. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: ED G AC 0 is obsolete, while EDGAC0LFS maintains active status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Regulatory Compliance: EDGAC0LFS meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas ED G AC 0 is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance, EDGAC0LFS is the appropriate selection.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct functional substitution without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Packaging Consideration: ED G AC 0 is supplied in bag packaging, while EDGAC0LFS is supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging provides improved component protection during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDGAC0LFS be used as a direct replacement for ED G AC 0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. EDGAC0LFS is functionally equivalent to ED G AC 0 across all critical parameters: circuit configuration, contact rating, actuator specifications, mounting type, and mechanical characteristics. No circuit or PCB modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from ED G AC 0 to EDGAC0LFS?

A: ED G AC 0 is obsolete and no longer actively manufactured. EDGAC0LFS is the active equivalent part from C&K, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. Additionally, EDGAC0LFS meets ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that may apply to your application.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between ED G AC 0 and EDGAC0LFS?

A: No. Both parts are rated identically at 0.05A @ 100VAC/DC and share identical mechanical life ratings of 1,000,000 cycles and operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 85°C.

Q: Does the packaging difference between bag and tube affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Tube packaging provides enhanced protection during storage and transportation compared to bag packaging.

Q: Are both parts compliant with REACH regulations?

A: Yes. Both ED G AC 0 and EDGAC0LFS are listed as REACH Unaffected, indicating compliance with REACH regulatory requirements.
