Same pin count, different door-switch record
Why 3P or 5P belongs beside the OE and version, never in place of them.
The catalog records SAP-V211 and SAP-V211A as 3P, but one is marked high specification and the other medium specification; their OE lists are also different. SAP-S208 is a separate 5P SCANIA R-Series record. These examples show why a buyer cannot search or approve a door switch by pin count alone.
Build the request from identity outward
Begin with the OE taken from the original part or a trusted record. Then add the requested controls, application information actually known, connector photograph and mounting view. Pin count is one observation in that packet, not the product name.
Keep the Volvo versions apart
For V211 and V211A, retain the complete SAP suffix and both supplied OE fields on separate lines. Ask what the high/medium wording means for the proposed control layout. Do not convert medium into low, and do not infer that two 3P entries share terminal assignments.
Use a receiving check that can catch a mix-up
The receiving sheet should show the approved SKU, OE, version wording and a reference image of the connector. Count by approved line, not by a generic “3P switch” bin. Any unapproved suffix or marking change stays visible until purchasing and technical reviewers decide what it is.
Purchasing guidance, not installation or diagnostic instructions. Confirm compatibility and specifications with the supplier and a qualified technician.
