Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete IXR5S16M is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the APEM IX series. The substitute part IXP5S16M maintains identical functional specifications across all critical parameters: DPST-NO/NC circuit configuration, 2A DC current rating at 28V, round red mushroom actuator, panel mount front installation, solder lug termination, IP67/IP69K ingress protection, 11.90mm circular panel cutout, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range, 1,000,000 mechanical cycles, and 100,000 electrical cycles.

The key substitution criteria are:

• Identical circuit topology (DPST-NO/NC)
• Matching electrical ratings (2A DC, 28V)
• Equivalent mechanical specifications (round red button, panel mount)
• Same ingress protection classification (IP67/IP69K)
• Identical panel cutout geometry (11.90mm circular)
• Matching termination method (solder lug)
• Equivalent environmental performance (-40°C to 85°C)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IXP5S16M is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete IXR5S16M. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory compliance across manufacturing and deployment environments. The IXP5S16M maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility with existing circuit designs and panel installations originally specified for the IXR5S16M. Selection of the IXP5S16M eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving all electrical performance characteristics and environmental protection ratings required for sealed pushbutton switching applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
