Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IXR3W13W is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part IXP3W13W qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Switch function: Off-Mom
• Current rating: 2A DC
• Voltage rating: 28V DC
• Illumination type and color: LED, White
• Illumination voltage: 3.3 VDC

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Actuator type: Round, Button, Mushroom
• Actuator color: Green
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Front
• Panel cutout diameter: 11.90mm Circular
• Termination style: Wire Leads
• Ingress protection rating: IP67/IP69K

Environmental & Compliance Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mechanical life: 1,000,000 Cycles
• Electrical life: 100,000 Cycles
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between IXR3W13W and IXP3W13W is packaging format (Tray vs. Bulk) and product status (Obsolete vs. Active). All functional and performance specifications remain identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IXP3W13W serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete IXR3W13W. Selection of IXP3W13W is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: IXP3W13W maintains Active status with APEM Inc., ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The IXR3W13W obsolescence status creates supply chain risk for new production or field service applications.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for EU and international markets. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All functional parameters—circuit configuration, current/voltage ratings, illumination specifications, actuator geometry, and ingress protection rating—are identical. Panel cutout dimensions remain unchanged at 11.90mm circular, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in existing panel designs.

Packaging Consideration: IXP3W13W is supplied in Bulk packaging rather than Tray format. Procurement quantities and handling procedures should account for this packaging difference, though the component itself remains functionally identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IXP3W13W be used as a direct replacement for IXR3W13W in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and performance characteristics are identical. The components are functionally interchangeable. Only the packaging format differs (Bulk vs. Tray).

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: IXR3W13W is obsolete and no longer manufactured by APEM Inc., creating procurement challenges for new production or field replacements. IXP3W13W is actively manufactured and supported, ensuring reliable supply chain availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are fully satisfied by either part.

Q: Does the Bulk packaging of IXP3W13W affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Bulk packaging may require different handling and storage procedures compared to Tray packaging, but the component specifications remain unchanged.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by exact equivalence across circuit configuration (SPST-NO), current/voltage ratings (2A/28V DC), illumination specifications (LED, White, 3.3V), actuator type and color (Round, Green), ingress protection (IP67/IP69K), panel cutout diameter (11.90mm), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and mechanical/electrical life ratings (1,000,000/100,000 cycles).

Q: Can IXP3W13W be used in applications requiring Tray packaging?

A: Component functionality is unaffected by packaging format. However, procurement and inventory management procedures may differ. Consult with supply chain management regarding packaging requirements for specific applications or production environments.
