PEEA-3000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PEEA-3000 is a thumbwheel switch manufactured by ZF Electronics, designed for BCD output applications requiring 0.1A contact rating at 50VAC/DC. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

The PEEA-3000 operates as a panel-mount, snap-in selector switch with a single section, pushwheel actuator, and card edge/solder pad termination. Its obsolete status necessitates evaluation of active substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PEEA-3000 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Output code must be BCD
• Read out range must be 0 ~ 9
• Contact rating current must be 0.1A
• Voltage rating must support the application requirement (PEEA-3000: 50VAC/DC)
• Number of sections must be 1

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Actuator type must be pushwheel
• Mounting configuration must be panel mount, snap-in
• Termination style must be card edge/solder pad
• Section width must be 0.300" (7.62mm)
• Depth behind flange must be 32.00mm
• Operating temperature range must encompass -20°C ~ 80°C

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited)

The SMCD131AK2 manufactured by APEM Inc. meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria, with the exception of voltage rating (40VAC/DC versus 50VAC/DC). This voltage differential must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SMCD131AK2 is an active product from APEM Inc. and represents the primary substitute for the obsolete PEEA-3000. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, mounting configurations, and functional output specifications.

The primary technical consideration is the voltage rating differential: the SMCD131AK2 is rated for 40VAC/DC versus the PEEA-3000's 50VAC/DC rating. Component selection must be based on the actual operating voltage of the application circuit. If the application operates at or below 40VAC/DC, the SMCD131AK2 provides full compatibility. If the application requires operation above 40VAC/DC, alternative components must be evaluated.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory alignment with modern manufacturing standards. The SMCD131AK2 provides documented contact material (Copper Tin Alloy with gold finish) and housing material (PPO), offering enhanced material traceability compared to the PEEA-3000 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SMCD131AK2 directly replace the PEEA-3000 in all applications?

A: Mechanical and functional compatibility is confirmed. Electrical compatibility depends on application voltage requirements. If the circuit operates at 40VAC/DC or below, direct substitution is valid. If the circuit requires 50VAC/DC operation, the voltage rating differential must be addressed through circuit redesign or alternative component selection.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both components share identical section width (0.300"/7.62mm), depth behind flange (32.00mm), panel mount snap-in configuration, and card edge/solder pad termination. Display character height differs slightly (0.196" versus 0.193"), which is negligible for panel cutout and visual display applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The PEEA-3000 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The SMCD131AK2 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging compatibility should be confirmed with procurement requirements.

Q: Do both components meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the PEEA-3000 and SMCD131AK2 are ROHS3 compliant. The SMCD131AK2 additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with current European chemical regulations.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material and finish differences?

A: The SMCD131AK2 specifies Copper Tin Alloy contacts with gold finish, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to unspecified contact materials. This represents an improvement in component specification and long-term reliability.
