Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IXR3W11W is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (momentary), current rating (2A DC), and voltage rating (28V DC) must remain identical to ensure functional compatibility within existing control circuits.

Mechanical Compatibility: Actuator type (round button mushroom), color (blue), panel cutout diameter (11.90mm circular), and mounting configuration (panel mount front) must match to ensure physical installation without modification.

Environmental Sealing: Ingress protection rating (IP67/IP69K) must be maintained to preserve dust-tight and waterproof performance characteristics.

Illumination Specifications: LED illumination type with white color and 3.3 VDC nominal voltage must be preserved for visual feedback consistency.

Operational Specifications: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles), and electrical life (100,000 cycles) establish the performance envelope for acceptable substitutes.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and termination style (wire leads) must be maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IXP3W11W serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete IXR3W11W. Both components are manufactured by APEM Inc. within the IX series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The primary distinction is product status: IXR3W11W is obsolete while IXP3W11W is active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

From a compliance perspective, both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are unaffected by REACH regulations, satisfying current regulatory requirements for new designs and system replacements. The active status of IXP3W11W provides assurance of supply chain continuity and manufacturing consistency.

All critical parameters—including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator specifications, illumination characteristics, ingress protection rating, and operational temperature range—are identical between the two parts. This equivalence permits direct substitution without circuit modification or mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IXP3W11W be used as a direct replacement for IXR3W11W?

A: Yes. IXP3W11W is electrically and mechanically equivalent to IXR3W11W across all specified parameters. Both components share identical SPST-NO circuit configuration, 2A DC current rating, 28V DC voltage rating, blue round button actuator, white LED illumination at 3.3 VDC, IP67/IP69K ingress protection, and 11.90mm panel cutout diameter. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical modification.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting IXP3W11W over IXR3W11W?

A: IXP3W11W maintains active product status with APEM Inc., ensuring ongoing manufacturing support and supply chain availability. IXR3W11W is classified as obsolete, which may result in limited inventory and discontinued production.

Q: Are the packaging configurations different between these parts?

A: IXR3W11W is supplied with standard packaging, while IXP3W11W is supplied in bulk packaging. Both configurations contain identical components; packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.
