ET225N10-Z Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ET225N10-Z is a toggle switch manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, configured as a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) panel mount switch rated for 25A at 125V AC. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The ET series toggle switches are designed for applications requiring reliable on-on switching functionality with screw terminal connections and panel-mounted installation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ET225N10-Z is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: DPDT topology must be maintained
• Switch Function: On-On operation required
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount with M12 x 1 bushing thread and 12.50mm circular cutout
• Actuator Specifications: Standard round actuator with 17.00mm length
• Termination: Screw terminal connection
• Electrical Life: 20,000 cycle minimum rating
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The ET230N10-Z qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical mechanical and electrical interface parameters. The primary distinction is an increased current rating of 30A AC, which provides enhanced capacity while maintaining all other specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ET230N10-Z is the designated substitute for the obsolete ET225N10-Z. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status Alignment: The ET230N10-Z maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical panel mount interface, actuator geometry, and termination style enable direct physical replacement without panel modifications
• Electrical Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, satisfying environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements
• Current Rating Enhancement: The 30A AC rating of the ET230N10-Z provides increased capacity margin relative to the 25A specification of the original part, supporting applications with equivalent or higher current demands within the 125V AC operating envelope

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ET230N10-Z be used as a direct replacement for the ET225N10-Z?

A: Yes. The ET230N10-Z is mechanically and electrically compatible. All interface parameters—panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specification, actuator geometry, termination style, and circuit configuration—are identical. The increased current rating does not compromise compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The ET230N10-Z is rated for 30A AC, compared to the 25A AC rating of the ET225N10-Z. All other specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The ET225N10-Z is supplied in standard packaging, while the ET230N10-Z is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Why is the ET225N10-Z classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The ET230N10-Z represents the current production equivalent within the ET series.

Q: Will the ET230N10-Z fit the existing panel cutout designed for the ET225N10-Z?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a 12.50mm circular panel cutout and M12 x 1 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical fit without panel modification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ET225N10-Z and ET230N10-Z are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
