Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KSL0V211LFT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST-NO topology must be maintained
• Contact Rating: 0.05A @ 32VDC electrical specification
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle configuration
• Actuator Orientation: Side Actuated design
• Actuator Length: 8.53mm dimension
• Outline Dimensions: 8.00mm x 8.00mm footprint
• Operating Force: 130gf actuation force
• Ingress Protection: IP60 rating
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 90°C
• Termination Style: PC Pin connection
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part KSL0V211 LFTR matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, differing only in packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KSL0V211 LFTR serves as a direct functional equivalent to the discontinued KSL0V211LFT. Both components are manufactured by C&K within the KSL series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The primary distinction between the two parts is packaging format: the KSL0V211LFT is supplied in tape and reel configuration, while the KSL0V211 LFTR is supplied in bulk packaging. This packaging difference does not affect component functionality, performance, or PCB integration.

Selection of the KSL0V211 LFTR is appropriate for applications requiring the KSL0V211LFT specification, with the understanding that bulk packaging may require internal reeling or alternative handling procedures depending on assembly line requirements.
