Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5632AB9 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Mom
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Panel cutout compatibility: Circular configuration

Electrical Compatibility Considerations:

• Current rating must meet or exceed application requirements
• Voltage rating must meet or exceed application requirements
• Operating temperature range must encompass application environment

The identified substitutes operate at reduced current ratings (5A AC/DC versus 6A AC/4A DC) and reduced AC voltage ratings (120V versus 125V), making them suitable for applications within these lower electrical parameters. Both substitutes maintain SPDT configuration, On-Mom function, panel mount design, and solder lug termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5632AB9 (APEM Inc.) remains the primary specification with the highest current and voltage ratings, extended operating temperature range (-40°C minimum), and longest electrical life (50,000 cycles). All three parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

100SP2T6B11M1QEH (E-Switch) and 7108P3YZQE (C&K) are electrically equivalent substitutes for applications operating at or below 5A AC/DC and 120V AC/28V DC. Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and active products. The E-Switch part features a 1/4-40 bushing thread, while the C&K part is REACH Affected. Both substitutes have reduced electrical life ratings (40,000 cycles) and narrower low-temperature operating range (-30°C minimum).

Selection between substitutes should account for panel cutout diameter tolerance (6.35mm versus 6.50mm), actuator length variation, and application-specific temperature and cycle life requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100SP2T6B11M1QEH or C&K 7108P3YZQE be used as direct replacements for the APEM 5632AB9?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for SPDT On-Mom panel mount applications within their electrical ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC). Direct substitution is valid when application current and voltage requirements do not exceed these limits. Panel cutout diameter differences (6.35mm versus 6.50mm) must be evaluated for mechanical fit.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The APEM 5632AB9 provides higher current capacity (6A AC, 4A DC) and higher AC voltage rating (125V) compared to both substitutes (5A AC/DC, 120V AC). The APEM part also offers extended low-temperature operation (-40°C versus -30°C) and longer electrical life (50,000 versus 40,000 cycles).

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: Panel cutout diameter differs slightly (APEM: 6.50mm; E-Switch and C&K: 6.35mm). Actuator length varies (APEM: 11.40mm; E-Switch: 12.30mm; C&K: 11.43mm). These differences require evaluation against specific panel design and clearance requirements.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products. The C&K 7108P3YZQE is REACH Affected, while the APEM and E-Switch parts are REACH Unaffected. Compliance requirements for your application should determine part selection.

Q: Which substitute offers the closest electrical match to the APEM 5632AB9?

A: Both E-Switch and C&K substitutes provide identical electrical ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC). The C&K 7108P3YZQE offers actuator length closer to the APEM specification (11.43mm versus 11.40mm), while the E-Switch part provides a 1/4-40 bushing thread option.
