3SS-WSP8-M2-GE Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Carling Technologies 3SS-WSP8-M2-GE is a pushbutton switch categorized as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with On-Mom (momentary) operation, rated for 1A at 125V AC and 28V DC. This switch utilizes a plunger actuator for cap, features through hole mounting, is fully sealed to IP67, and includes a black actuator/cap with no marking. The part holds Active status, is RoHS3 compliant, and is supplied in bulk. Finding alternative models is necessary to address inventory requirements, supply chain flexibility, or sourcing disruptions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 3SS-WSP8-M2-GE and APE1F-2M-10-Z maintain Active status, are RoHS3 compliant, have identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited), and share the same HTSUS code. Selection between the two can be determined on the basis of product status, compliance, and supply availability. Only documented parameters should be used for equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which parameters are critical for selecting a substitute for the 3SS-WSP8-M2-GE pushbutton switch?
A: The critical parameters for substitution are Mounting Type, Circuit, Switch Function, Actuator Type, Actuator Marking, Current and Voltage Ratings (AC/DC), Termination Style, Features (Sealed - Fully), RoHS Compliance, and Moisture Sensitivity Level.

Q: Are the 3SS-WSP8-M2-GE and APE1F-2M-10-Z pushbutton switches mechanically compatible?
A: Both parts share Through Hole mounting, Plunger Actuator for Cap, PC Pin termination, and no actuator marking, supporting mechanical compatibility based on the parameters provided.

Q: Does the substitute part match ingress protection and sealing features?
