Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: 18235WWCD3 Pushbutton Switch (APEM Inc.)

Part Overview

The APEM Inc. 18235WWCD3 is an active pushbutton switch in the SPDT configuration, rated for 0.1A at 30V DC. It features a round plunger actuator, tactile feedback, and through-hole, right angle, vertical mounting. Engineers may require substitution due to inventory availability, sourcing constraints, regulatory compliance, or mechanical mounting requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped by identical or closely matching key parameters. The substitutability in pushbutton switches is determined by circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Mom), actuator type, termination style, mounting method, electrical ratings, tactile feedback, compliance status, and life-cycle characteristics. Each substitute is listed only if it meets these required parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 18235WWCD3 (APEM Inc.) and 8125SYAV2BE (C&K) are active, RoHS3 compliant switches with equivalent tactile feedback, electrical life, switch function, circuit, and actuator markings. Both have unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). REACH status should be reviewed for compliance; 18235WWCD3 is unaffected, while 8125SYAV2BE is affected. Electrical and mechanical ratings must match application requirements as provided. Only select from substitute parts if all key parameters conform to project and certification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the most critical parameters for substituting 18235WWCD3?
A: Circuit (SPDT), switch function (On-Mom), actuator type, termination style, mounting method, current and voltage rating, tactile feedback, RoHS/REACH status, and electrical life.

Q: Are there differences in mounting type between the main and substitute part?
A: Yes; 18235WWCD3 uses through-hole, right angle, vertical mounting, while 8125SYAV2BE uses panel mount, right angle, vertical, rear mounting.

Q: How does compliance status affect substitution?
A: RoHS3 compliance is identical in both. REACH status is unaffected for the main part, affected for the substitute. Compliance must match project requirements.

Q: Can the substitute handle similar operating environments?
A: Both parts have an operating temperature range starting at -30°C with upper limits of 65°C and 75°C respectively.

Q: Does actuator marking impact substitution?
A: Both parts do not feature actuator markings, so this parameter aligns.

Q: Are inventory and packaging differences relevant to substitution?
A: Inventory and packaging (Bulk vs. Tray) are provided; selection depends on logistical/project needs but does not affect electrical or mechanical equivalency.
