LC2251EENP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LC2251EENP is an active pushbutton switch manufactured by E-Switch, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) standard through-hole component with right-angle mounting. This switch is designed for on-on switching applications with a current rating of 300mA DC and voltage rating of 30V DC. The component features a plunger actuator with PC pin termination and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are maintained across the same product series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LC2251EENP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (300mA DC)
• Voltage rating (30V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Actuator type (Plunger for Cap)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (10,000 Cycles)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The LC2259EENP meets all these criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute within the E-Switch LC series.
