R1966DBLKREDIP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The R1966DBLKREDIP is a rocker switch manufactured by E-Switch, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with 15A AC current rating at 125V. This component is designed for panel mount, snap-in installation with a concave red actuator marked "ON OFF" in vertical orientation. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the R1966DBLKREDIP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), current rating (15A AC), and voltage rating (125V AC) must remain identical
• Mechanical Interface: Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In), panel cutout dimensions (19.40mm x 13.00mm rectangular), and termination style (PC Pin) must be unchanged
• Environmental Performance: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 65°C), mechanical life (30,000 cycles), and electrical life (10,000 cycles) must be maintained
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance status must be preserved

The R1966DBLKBLKEP substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in actuator color (black versus red) and actuator marking (no marking versus "ON OFF" vertical marking). These cosmetic differences do not affect functional equivalence or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The R1966DBLKBLKEP is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete R1966DBLKREDIP. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical interfaces, and environmental performance specifications. The substitute part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection of the R1966DBLKBLKEP is appropriate for applications where the original R1966DBLKREDIP is no longer available. The actuator color and marking differences are cosmetic and do not impact electrical function, circuit behavior, or mechanical compatibility. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and equivalent lifecycle ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can R1966DBLKBLKEP directly replace R1966DBLKREDIP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (SPDT, 15A AC, 125V), mechanical interface (panel mount, snap-in, 19.40mm x 13.00mm cutout), and performance ratings (30,000 mechanical cycles, 10,000 electrical cycles). The only differences are actuator color and marking, which are cosmetic.

Q: What is the significance of the actuator color difference?

A: Actuator color serves as a visual indicator only and does not affect electrical performance or functional equivalence. The red actuator on the original part and black actuator on the substitute part operate identically within the circuit.

Q: Does the absence of actuator marking on the substitute part affect operation?

A: No. Actuator marking ("ON OFF" vertical) is a labeling feature for user interface clarity and does not influence electrical function, switching behavior, or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer and typically reflects end-of-life status. The R1966DBLKBLKEP remains in active production, providing a direct functional equivalent for ongoing component requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status and equivalent environmental certifications. Compliance requirements are met by both components.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The original R1966DBLKREDIP was supplied with specific packaging, while the R1966DBLKBLKEP is available in bulk packaging. Packaging does not affect component performance or electrical characteristics.
