Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KSL0V331LFT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Switch function (Off-Mom momentary operation)
• Contact rating (0.01A @ 32VDC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Actuator orientation (Side Actuated)
• Actuator length (8.53mm)
• Outline dimensions (7.40mm x 7.40mm)
• Operating force (130gf)
• Ingress protection rating (IP60)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The KSL0V331LFT has one direct equivalent substitute: KSL0V331 LFTR. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with the primary difference being packaging format and product status.
