APEM 25136NLDH6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APEM 25136NLDH6 is an SPDT slide switch rated for 100mA DC at 30V, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component features a 6.00mm actuator length, gold-plated brass contacts, and epoxy-sealed terminals. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter ranges for SPDT slide switch applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for SPDT slide switches is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Electrical Parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• DC voltage rating must be equal to or greater than 30V
• DC current rating must be equal to or greater than 100mA

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Termination style must be PC Pin
• Actuator type must be Standard

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) required

The Nidec Components Corporation 8SS1012-Z meets these substitution criteria with a DC voltage rating of 30V and DC current rating of 4A, exceeding the minimum current requirement. Both parts share identical circuit configuration, mounting type, and termination style.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the APEM 25136NLDH6 and Nidec 8SS1012-Z are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. The Nidec 8SS1012-Z provides superior electrical and mechanical life ratings, with 100,000 mechanical cycles and 30,000 electrical cycles compared to 20,000 and 10,000 cycles respectively for the APEM part.

The primary design consideration is actuator length: the APEM part features a 6.00mm actuator while the Nidec substitute has a 5.00mm actuator. This 1.00mm difference may affect panel cutout dimensions and user interface ergonomics. The Nidec part also operates across a narrower temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C), which is relevant only for applications requiring operation below -30°C.

Both parts meet the specified electrical requirements for 30V DC, 100mA minimum current applications with SPDT On-On functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Nidec 8SS1012-Z directly replace the APEM 25136NLDH6 in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The Nidec part meets or exceeds all electrical specifications. However, the 1.00mm difference in actuator length requires verification of mechanical fit within the enclosure and panel cutout dimensions.

Q: What is the significance of the different actuator lengths?

A: Actuator length affects the depth of panel penetration and user interface feel. The APEM part's 6.00mm actuator extends 1.00mm further than the Nidec part's 5.00mm actuator. This may require panel redesign if switching to the Nidec substitute.

Q: Why does the Nidec part have higher mechanical and electrical life ratings?

A: The provided data indicates the Nidec 8SS1012-Z is rated for 100,000 mechanical cycles and 30,000 electrical cycles, compared to 20,000 and 10,000 cycles for the APEM part. This reflects different design specifications and contact materials between manufacturers.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations with the Nidec substitute?

A: The Nidec 8SS1012-Z operates from -30°C to 85°C, while the APEM part operates from -40°C to 85°C. The Nidec part is not suitable for applications requiring operation below -30°C.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The APEM 25136NLDH6 is supplied in Tube packaging, while the Nidec 8SS1012-Z is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and component counting procedures.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the APEM 25136NLDH6 and Nidec 8SS1012-Z are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited) and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.
