SW3006A/C Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SW3006A/C is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) on-on switch rated for 20A at 125V AC and 30V DC. This panel-mount switch features a concave white actuator with solder lug termination and dust-proof ingress protection. The part is currently in Last Time Buy status with 819 units in stock, indicating this model is being phased out. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and support for new production runs or replacement requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SW3006A/C must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: 20A (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum, 30V DC minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Actuator type: Concave (Standard V)
• Actuator color: White
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Ingress protection: Dust Proof

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• CSA and UL approvals

The substitute part SW3006/CUL is derived from the same base product family (SW3006 series) and maintains the core electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SW3006/CUL is the recommended substitute for the SW3006A/C. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical ratings (20A at 125V AC / 30V DC) and mechanical specifications (DPDT on-on configuration, panel mount with flange, solder lug termination). The primary distinction is product status: the SW3006A/C is in Last Time Buy phase, while the SW3006/CUL maintains Active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts meet RoHS3 compliance and carry CSA and UL approvals, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SW3006/CUL be used as a direct replacement for SW3006A/C? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (20A at 125V AC / 30V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT on-on), and mechanical specifications (panel mount with flange, solder lug termination). The SW3006/CUL is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between SW3006A/C and SW3006/CUL? A: The SW3006A/C is designated Last Time Buy, indicating phase-out. The SW3006/CUL is the active production variant from the same SW3006 base product family, offering continued manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. Both SW3006A/C and SW3006/CUL are RoHS3 compliant and carry CSA and UL approvals.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution? A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: DPDT circuit configuration, on-on switch function, 20A current rating, 125V AC / 30V DC voltage ratings, panel mount with flange, solder lug termination, and dust-proof ingress protection.

Q: Can these switches be used in DC applications? A: Yes. Both switches are rated for 20A at 30V DC, making them suitable for DC circuit applications within this voltage specification.
