Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ESS20-002-DC24V-6A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 6A (must match exactly)
• Breaker Type: Solid State (must match exactly)
• Mounting Type: Holder (must match exactly)
• Number of Poles: 1 (must match exactly)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 32V minimum (substitute must meet or exceed)
• Approval Agency: IEC 60934, UL1077 (must maintain compliance)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (must maintain compliance)

The ESS30-S003-DC24V-6A qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While the actuator type differs (pushbutton versus push-push), the electrical and mechanical specifications remain compatible for circuit protection applications requiring 6A solid state switching at 24VDC nominal operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESS30-S003-DC24V-6A is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete ESS20-002-DC24V-6A. Both components maintain identical current ratings, breaker topology, and regulatory compliance certifications (IEC 60934, UL1077). The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The DC voltage rating of the substitute (30V) exceeds the original specification (32V), providing equivalent or superior performance in 24VDC applications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical mechanical mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ESS30-S003-DC24V-6A directly replace the ESS20-002-DC24V-6A in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical current ratings (6A), breaker type (solid state), mounting configuration (holder), pole count (1), and regulatory certifications. The substitute meets or exceeds the voltage specification and maintains full compliance with IEC 60934 and UL1077 standards.

Q: What is the difference between push-push and pushbutton actuators?

A: Push-push actuators toggle between on and off states with each press. Pushbutton actuators require continuous pressure to maintain the on state. Application requirements determine which actuator type is appropriate for your circuit protection system.

Q: Does the additional illumination option (Red) on the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The expanded illumination capability on the ESS30-S003-DC24V-6A does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. The substitute maintains the green and orange illumination options of the original part while adding red as an additional feature.

Q: Are both parts suitable for 24VDC applications?

A: Yes. Both the ESS20-002-DC24V-6A and ESS30-S003-DC24V-6A are rated for 24VDC operation. The substitute's 30V DC rating provides adequate margin for standard 24VDC system voltages.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The ESS30-S003-DC24V-6A is supplied in bulk packaging, with 796 pieces available in new original stock.
