Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LC2259OASP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: DPDT topology must be maintained
• Current Rating: 300mA DC minimum requirement
• Voltage Rating: 30V DC minimum requirement
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle configuration
• Actuator Type: Plunger for Cap
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Switch Function: On-Mom (Momentary) operation
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 85°C compatibility
• Electrical Life: 10,000 Cycles minimum

The LC2255OANP meets all these criteria and is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LC2255OANP is the direct equivalent substitute for the LC2259OASP. Both components are manufactured by E-Switch within the LC series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the LC2259OASP is obsolete while the LC2255OANP is active.

Selection of the LC2255OANP is supported by:

• Full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements
• Identical circuit topology, current, and voltage ratings
• Matching mechanical form factor and mounting configuration
• Superior inventory availability (3333 units versus 1087 units)
• Active product status ensuring long-term supply chain viability

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LC2255OANP be used as a direct replacement for the LC2259OASP?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical DPDT circuit configuration, 300mA DC current rating, 30V DC voltage rating, through-hole right-angle mounting, plunger actuator, and PC pin termination. The LC2255OANP is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What is the difference between LC2259OASP and LC2255OANP?

A: The parts are functionally identical. The LC2259OASP is classified as obsolete, while the LC2255OANP is active. Packaging differs (LC2259OASP uses standard packaging; LC2255OANP uses bulk packaging). Inventory levels also differ, with LC2255OANP offering greater availability.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from LC2259OASP to LC2255OANP?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters: circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator design, termination style, operating temperature range, and electrical life. PCB layouts and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: What packaging is available for the LC2255OANP?

A: The LC2255OANP is supplied in bulk packaging, as opposed to the standard packaging of the LC2259OASP. Both packaging formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LC2259OASP and LC2255OANP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.
