Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LW1A-P2-S is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: IDEC (maintains original equipment compatibility)
• Category: Configurable Switch Components (ensures functional equivalence)
• Color: Blue (preserves visual indication function)
• Shape: Round (guarantees mechanical fit within switch assembly)
• Compatible Series: IDEC LW (confirms electrical and mechanical interface compatibility)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable (environmental handling consistency)

The substitute part LW1A-P2S-K meets all primary substitution criteria. The transition from obsolete to active product status indicates this part represents the current production equivalent within the IDEC LW series lens portfolio.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LW1A-P2S-K is the direct substitute for the obsolete LW1A-P2-S. Selection of the LW1A-P2S-K is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Transition: The LW1A-P2S-K carries active product status, indicating current manufacturing support, documented specifications, and availability through authorized IDEC distribution channels. The LW1A-P2-S, classified as obsolete, is no longer supported by the manufacturer.

Parameter Alignment: All critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical between the original and substitute part. The blue round lens configuration, IDEC LW series compatibility, and configurable switch component classification are preserved.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts carry identical MSL classification (Not Applicable), indicating consistent environmental handling and storage requirements.

For applications currently utilizing the LW1A-P2-S, direct substitution with the LW1A-P2S-K maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility within the IDEC LW series switch assembly.
