Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GSLW040203 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Switch Type & Contact Configuration: Conductive rubber contacts with matrix output
• Key Count & Matrix Layout: 4 keys in 1 x 4 matrix configuration
• Electrical Rating: 0.05A @ 24VDC contact rating
• Illumination Type: White LED illumination
• Mounting & Termination: Panel mount with pin header termination
• Operational Life: 2,000,000 cycle minimum rating
• Compliance: CE approval and ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part 7203-04CW203 maintains compatibility across these core parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring 4-key matrix keypad switches with white illumination and equivalent electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7203-04CW203 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete GSLW040203. Both components are manufactured by Storm Interface and maintain identical electrical specifications, matrix configuration, and contact ratings. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Both components meet CE approval requirements and ROHS3 compliance standards, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection. The congruent operational life rating of 2,000,000 cycles ensures equivalent reliability performance in applications requiring extended cycle counts.

Selection of the 7203-04CW203 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications where the GSLW040203 is no longer procurable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7203-04CW203 directly replace the GSLW040203 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (0.05A @ 24VDC), matrix configuration (1 x 4), switch type (conductive rubber), and operational life (2,000,000 cycles). Pin header termination and panel mount configuration are equivalent across both parts.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (GSLW040203 is obsolete; 7203-04CW203 is active), key material (transparent vs. polymer), illumination voltage (4.6 VDC vs. 5 VDC), operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 75°C vs. -20°C ~ 60°C), and ingress protection rating (IP54 vs. IP65). These differences do not affect functional substitution in standard applications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for the 7203-04CW203?

A: The 7203-04CW203 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the GSLW040203 packaging specification is not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components carry CE approval and ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
