LC2251OASP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LC2251OASP is a pushbutton switch manufactured by E-Switch, featuring DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with a current rating of 300mA DC and voltage rating of 30V DC. This component is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications with a plunger actuator and PC pin termination style.

The LC2251OASP is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LC2251OASP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-Mom (momentary operation)
• 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: ROHS3 Compliant

The LC2262OANP meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete LC2251OASP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LC2262OANP is the recommended substitute for the obsolete LC2251OASP. Both components are manufactured by E-Switch within the LC series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The LC2262OANP carries active product status with current inventory availability, ensuring reliable sourcing for production and field replacement applications.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment. The electrical and thermal performance characteristics remain constant across both part numbers, supporting direct design substitution without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LC2262OANP be used as a direct replacement for the LC2251OASP?

A: Yes. The LC2262OANP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LC2251OASP. Both components feature identical DPDT circuit configuration, 300mA DC current rating, 30V DC voltage rating, through-hole right-angle mounting, and PC pin termination. No circuit redesign is required.

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

A: The LC2251OASP is classified as obsolete, while the LC2262OANP is an active product with current manufacturing and inventory support. The packaging designation differs (LC2251OASP uses standard packaging; LC2262OANP uses bulk packaging), but electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both the LC2251OASP and LC2262OANP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory status is equivalent across both part numbers.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-Mom), current rating (300mA DC), voltage rating (30V DC), mounting type (through hole, right angle), actuator type (plunger for cap), termination style (PC pin), and operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C).

Q: Is the LC2262OANP available in inventory?

A: Yes. The LC2262OANP is listed as an active product with 1024 pieces in new original stock.
