SW3822/A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SW3822/A is an active rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) panel mount component rated for 30A at 125V AC and 30V DC. This switch features a concave white actuator with screw terminal connections and is designed for on-on switching applications. The part maintains active product status with full compliance to ROHS3 and relevant approval agencies (CSA, UL). Substitute parts are identified when electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, circuit configuration, and termination style remain equivalent across the product line.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SW3822/A are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-On), current rating (30A AC/DC), voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC), mounting type (Panel Mount, Flange), actuator type (Concave Standard V), actuator color (White), termination style (Screw Terminal), operating temperature range (-10°C to 70°C), mechanical life (50,000 cycles), electrical life (25,000 cycles), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, CSA, UL).

The substitute part SW3822 (bulk packaging variant) meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. The only difference is packaging configuration, which does not affect functional or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison
