Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RTE1002N14 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RTE1002N13 based on the following matching parameters:

• Circuit configuration: BCD (identical)
• Number of positions: 10 (identical)
• Current rating: 100mA (identical)
• Voltage rating: 30VDC (identical)
• Actuator type: Rotary with Shaft (identical)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (identical)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (identical)
• Height above board: 0.321" (8.15mm) (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 85°C (identical)
• Mechanical life: 20,000 Steps (identical)
• Contact material: Bronze (identical)
• Contact finish: Gold (identical)
• Body material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) (identical)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: RTE1002N13 is obsolete, while RTE1002N14 is active production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RTE1002N14 is the direct functional equivalent of the RTE1002N13 for all electrical and mechanical applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For new designs or production requiring regulatory compliance, the RTE1002N14 is the appropriate choice due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. The RTE1002N13, while functionally identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, carries obsolete status and RoHS non-compliant certification, limiting its suitability for new applications.

For legacy system maintenance or repair where original component specifications must be preserved, the RTE1002N13 remains available through existing inventory. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and performance characteristics, ensuring direct interchangeability in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RTE1002N14 replace RTE1002N13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RTE1002N14 is electrically and mechanically identical to the RTE1002N13. All electrical ratings (100mA, 30VDC), mechanical dimensions (0.321" height, 0.100" pitch), and functional specifications (10-position BCD rotary switch) are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between RTE1002N13 and RTE1002N14?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. RTE1002N13 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. RTE1002N14 is in active production and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. RTE1002N13 uses standard packaging, while RTE1002N14 is supplied in Tube packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any circuit design considerations when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical BCD circuit configuration, contact material (Bronze with Gold finish), and electrical ratings. No circuit redesign or validation is required for substitution.

Q: Which part should be specified for new production?

A: RTE1002N14 should be specified for new production due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. RTE1002N13 is suitable only for legacy system support where existing inventory is available.
