Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 1SM36-H2 Snap Action Switch

Part Overview

The 1SM36-H2 is a snap action SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. This through-hole mounted component is rated for 5A at 250V AC and 30V DC, featuring a round pin plunger actuator with on-momentary switching function. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing applications and new designs requiring similar electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1SM36-H2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-Momentary
• Actuator type must be Round (Pin Plunger)
• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Termination style must be PC Pin

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating must meet or exceed 5A requirement
• AC voltage rating must meet or exceed 250V requirement
• DC voltage rating must meet or exceed 30V requirement

Environmental and Compliance Criteria:

• Operating temperature range must encompass the application requirements
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained

The three identified substitute parts meet the primary mechanical and circuit configuration requirements. However, electrical ratings vary and must be evaluated against specific application voltage and current demands.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MBZ101A01C02X02 (APEM Inc.)

This substitute provides the highest electrical rating compatibility with the 1SM36-H2. It maintains 250V AC rating and exceeds the 5A current requirement at 10A AC. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. This option is suitable for applications requiring 250V AC operation. DC voltage rating is not specified; applications requiring DC operation must verify compatibility through APEM technical documentation.

MWZ101C01C01X02 (APEM Inc.)

This substitute matches the 5A AC current rating and provides IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof). AC voltage rating is 125V, which is lower than the 1SM36-H2 specification. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. This option is suitable for applications operating at 125V AC or lower. DC voltage rating is not specified.

ABS1510519 (Panasonic Electric Works)

This substitute has significantly reduced electrical ratings (100mA current, 125V AC). While it maintains SPDT configuration and through-hole mounting, the current and voltage ratings are substantially lower than the 1SM36-H2. Product status is Active with RoHS compliance. This option is suitable only for low-power applications with 125V AC or lower operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBZ101A01C02X02 directly replace 1SM36-H2 in all applications?

A: MBZ101A01C02X02 is mechanically and electrically compatible for AC applications at 250V and up to 10A. However, DC voltage rating is not specified in the provided data. Applications requiring DC operation at 30V must be verified against APEM technical specifications before substitution.

Q: Why is ABS1510519 listed as a substitute if it has only 100mA rating?

A: ABS1510519 meets the primary mechanical and circuit configuration requirements (SPDT, through-hole, PC pin termination, on-momentary function). However, its 100mA current rating is substantially below the 1SM36-H2 5A rating. This substitute is only applicable to low-power switching applications and should not be used in circuits requiring 5A operation.

Q: What is the impact of operating temperature range differences?

A: The 1SM36-H2 operates from -55°C to 125°C. All three substitutes operate from -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C cannot use these substitutes. Applications within the -40°C to 85°C range are compatible.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. 1SM36-H2 packaging is listed as dash (unspecified). ABS1510519 is supplied in Bulk packaging. MBZ101A01C02X02 is supplied in Tray packaging. MWZ101C01C01X02 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: What does the operating position specification mean for substitution?

A: Operating position (0.330" for 1SM36-H2, 0.325" for MWZ101C01C01X02) indicates the plunger travel distance. The 0.005" difference between 1SM36-H2 and MWZ101C01C01X02 may affect mechanical fit in applications with tight plunger clearance constraints. MBZ101A01C02X02 and ABS1510519 match the 0.330" specification exactly.

Q: How do mechanical life ratings affect component selection?

A: The 1SM36-H2 has 80,000 mechanical life cycles. All substitutes exceed this specification: ABS1510519 (5,000,000 cycles), MBZ101A01C02X02 (10,000,000 cycles), and MWZ101C01C01X02 (1,000,000 cycles). For applications requiring extended operational life, all substitutes provide improved durability.

Q: Is RoHS compliance maintained across all substitutes?

A: Yes. The 1SM36-H2 is RoHS Compliant. ABS1510519 is RoHS Compliant. MBZ101A01C02X02 and MWZ101C01C01X02 are ROHS3 Compliant. All options maintain regulatory compliance for restricted substance requirements.
