RSC341D2C8Z24 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RSC341D2C8Z24 is a rocker switch manufactured by E-Switch, classified as SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) with a 20A AC rating at 125V. This panel-mount, snap-in component features a two-tone red and white actuator with concave curved design and quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing applications and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RSC341D2C8Z24 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST topology must be maintained
• Current Rating: 20A AC minimum requirement
• Voltage Rating: 125V AC minimum requirement
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount, snap-in mechanical compatibility
• Termination: Quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) connector type
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Rectangular 27.20mm x 13.90mm for mechanical fit
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 105°C operational envelope
• Electrical Life: 10,000 cycles minimum
• Regulatory Compliance: CSA and UL approvals required

The RSC341D1A81 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical values across all critical parameters. Variations in actuator color (black and red versus red and white) and product status (active versus obsolete) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RSC341D1A81 is the designated substitute for the obsolete RSC341D2C8Z24. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (20A AC at 125V, SPST configuration), mechanical interfaces (panel mount snap-in with 27.20mm x 13.90mm cutout), and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL). The RSC341D1A81 is currently in active production with 950 units in stock, whereas the original part is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical operating temperature ranges and electrical life ratings. Selection of the RSC341D1A81 ensures long-term supply continuity and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RSC341D1A81 be used as a direct replacement for RSC341D2C8Z24 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (20A AC, 125V), circuit configuration (SPST), mounting interface (panel mount snap-in), termination type (quick connect 0.250"), and panel cutout dimensions (27.20mm x 13.90mm). No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and actuator color. RSC341D2C8Z24 is obsolete with red and white actuator coloring, while RSC341D1A81 is active production with black and red actuator coloring. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts certified by the same regulatory agencies?

A: Yes. Both RSC341D2C8Z24 and RSC341D1A81 carry CSA and UL approvals and are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement for installation?

A: Both components require a rectangular panel cutout of 27.20mm x 13.90mm for snap-in mounting.

Q: What termination connector type is used?

A: Both parts use quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination, compatible with standard quick-disconnect terminals.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these switches?

A: Both components operate across -20°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications within this thermal envelope.

Q: How many electrical cycles are rated for these switches?

A: Both components are rated for 10,000 electrical cycles minimum.
