Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LW2A-L1-W is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Manufacturer: Must be IDEC to ensure compatibility with the LW series platform
• Category: Must remain Configurable Switch Components
• Color: Must be White to maintain visual consistency and functional specification
• Shape: Must be Square to ensure mechanical fit within the switch assembly
• Compatible Series: Must support IDEC and LW series compatibility
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be Not Applicable, matching the original specification

The substitute part LW2A-L1W-K satisfies all required parameters for direct substitution. The primary distinction between the main part and the substitute is the product status transition from obsolete to active production.

Parameter Comparison
