Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GBSAX-2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: 2 circuits required
• Pitch Specification: 0.438" (11.12mm) center-to-center spacing
• Current Capacity: 20A minimum rating
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 12-22 AWG acceptance
• Termination Method: Screw-based top termination
• Barrier Construction: Dual-wall (2 Wall) barrier type
• Mounting Interface: Chassis or panel mounting capability
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The substitute part 430000-02-0 meets all these critical parameters, establishing functional equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 430000-02-0 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete GBSAX-2. Both components are manufactured by Curtis Industries and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The substitute part carries an active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The 430000-02-0 maintains UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and meets ROHS3 requirements, providing enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the original part's RoHS Compliant designation.

Physical and electrical compatibility is established through matching pitch, circuit count, current rating, wire gauge acceptance, and mounting interface specifications. The dual-wall barrier construction and screw termination method remain unchanged, supporting direct installation in existing mechanical and electrical assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 430000-02-0 replace the GBSAX-2 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 430000-02-0 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the GBSAX-2, including pitch, circuit count, current rating, wire gauge range, termination method, and mounting interface. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (GBSAX-2 is obsolete; 430000-02-0 is active), insulation material (PPO versus PP), operating temperature rating (110°C versus 105°C), and regulatory compliance level (RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant). These differences do not affect functional equivalence for standard applications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for the 430000-02-0?

A: The 430000-02-0 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the GBSAX-2 packaging specification was not provided. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the 430000-02-0 maintain the same voltage rating?

A: The 430000-02-0 specifies a 600V voltage rating. The GBSAX-2 voltage rating was not provided in the available data. Confirm voltage requirements for your application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The GBSAX-2 is RoHS Compliant, and the 430000-02-0 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements, with the substitute offering enhanced regulatory alignment.
