Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is strictly determined by matching the following critical parameters: electrical ratings (current and voltage), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), keyswitch type, actuator style, mounting method (through-hole), termination style (PC pin), operating temperature range, and compliance statuses (RoHS, REACH, MSL). Only components that exactly align with these specifications are considered valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M84A0100 part is obsolete and not RoHS compliant. The substitute MX1A-11NW keyswitch from Cherry Americas LLC aligns with the required electrical, mechanical, and mounting parameters and is RoHS3 compliant and active in inventory. Both parts share identical operating temperature range, circuit configuration, and switch function, while the substitute offers a higher rated electrical life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the substitution criteria for the M84A0100 pushbutton keyswitch?
