Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the KSC421V30ACT2.95 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Performance: SPST-NO circuit with 0.05A @ 32VDC contact rating
• Mechanical Interface: Surface mount, right-angle configuration with side actuation
• Physical Dimensions: 2.95mm actuator length and 7.40mm x 3.80mm outline
• Operational Characteristics: 170gf operating force, 0.375mm switch travel, 300,000 cycle mechanical life
• Environmental Protection: IP67 ingress protection rating
• Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C operating window
• Termination: SMD (SMT) Tab connection method

The KSC421 V30 ACT2.95 LFS meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KSC421 V30 ACT2.95 LFS is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete KSC421V30ACT2.95. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part offers the additional advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, eliminating regulatory constraints associated with the original non-compliant part. Inventory availability is substantially higher for the substitute (33,449 units versus 1,102 units), supporting long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes KSC421 V30 ACT2.95 LFS a valid substitute for KSC421V30ACT2.95?

A: Both parts share identical electrical ratings (0.05A @ 32VDC, SPST-NO), mechanical configuration (surface mount, right-angle, side-actuated), physical dimensions (2.95mm actuator length, 7.40mm x 3.80mm outline), and operational characteristics (170gf operating force, 0.375mm travel, 300,000 cycle life, IP67 protection, -40°C ~ 85°C temperature range).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part (KSC421V30ACT2.95) is listed with unspecified packaging, while the substitute (KSC421 V30 ACT2.95 LFS) is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical SMD (SMT) Tab termination.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The original part is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute part satisfies compliance requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. Identical mounting type, actuator configuration, electrical ratings, and physical dimensions ensure direct interchangeability without design modification.

Q: What is the MSL rating for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
