Substitution for the KSA0V331LFT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Contact rating: 0.01A @ 32VDC
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Actuator orientation: Side Actuated
• Actuator length: 3.23mm
• Outline dimensions: 7.40mm x 7.40mm
• Operating force: 130gf
• Ingress protection: IP60
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part KSA0V331 LFTR maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KSA0V331 LFTR serves as a direct functional equivalent to the discontinued KSA0V331LFT. Both parts are manufactured by C&K within the KSA series and maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and are REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory compliance standards. The primary distinction is packaging format: the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging rather than standard packaging. This difference does not affect component functionality or performance in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KSA0V331 LFTR be used as a direct replacement for KSA0V331LFT?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching contact ratings (0.01A @ 32VDC), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), mounting type (through-hole right angle), and environmental specifications (IP60, -40°C ~ 125°C operating range).

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging. KSA0V331LFT uses standard packaging, while KSA0V331 LFTR is supplied in bulk packaging. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and REACH Unaffected designation. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both.

Q: Why is the original part discontinued?

A: The KSA0V331LFT is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The KSA0V331 LFTR remains in active production and provides equivalent functionality for all applications requiring this switch specification.

Q: Will the bulk packaging of the substitute affect PCB assembly?

A: Bulk packaging affects only the supply format and handling during component procurement and storage. It does not affect the component's performance, dimensions, or functionality in circuit applications.
