SWITCH TOGGLE SPDT 5636AB2

Part Overview

The 5636AB2 is an SPDT toggle switch manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for panel mount applications requiring 6A AC or 4A DC switching capability at 125V AC or 30V DC. This component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when electrical ratings, mechanical interfaces, and functional characteristics align within acceptable operational parameters for SPDT toggle switch applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5636AB2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Mounting interface: Panel Mount with 1/4-40 bushing thread
• Termination: Solder Lug
• Actuator type: Standard Round
• Panel cutout compatibility: Circular configuration

Electrical Compatibility Constraints: Substitute parts must operate within the electrical envelope defined by the 5636AB2. The main part specifies 6A AC at 125V and 4A DC at 30V. Substitute candidates with lower current or voltage ratings represent derating scenarios and are listed as functional alternatives for applications not requiring the full electrical capacity of the 5636AB2.

Identified Substitutes:

• 100SP1T4B1M1QEH (E-Switch, Series 100)
• 7101L1YZQE (C&K, Series 7000)

Both substitutes maintain SPDT configuration, On-On function, panel mount interface with 1/4-40 bushing, solder lug termination, and standard round actuator geometry. Electrical ratings differ as detailed in the parameter comparison table.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5636AB2 (APEM Inc.): Primary selection for applications requiring 6A AC at 125V or 4A DC at 30V with extended low-temperature operation to -40°C. Offers 50,000 electrical life cycles. All compliance certifications current: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, EAR99 classification.

100SP1T4B1M1QEH (E-Switch): Suitable for applications with reduced current requirements (5A AC/DC maximum) and voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC). Operating temperature range limited to -30°C minimum. Electrical life rated at 40,000 cycles. ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, EAR99 classification. Panel cutout diameter 6.35mm requires verification against existing panel drilling specifications.

7101L1YZQE (C&K): Suitable for applications with reduced current requirements (5A AC/DC maximum) and voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC). Operating temperature range limited to -30°C minimum. Electrical life rated at 100,000 cycles, exceeding both primary and alternative options. ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected designation. Panel cutout diameter 6.35mm requires verification against existing panel drilling specifications.

Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for electrical life, temperature range, and regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 100SP1T4B1M1QEH or 7101L1YZQE be used as direct replacements for 5636AB2?

A: Both parts maintain identical circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), mounting interface (panel mount with 1/4-40 bushing), and termination style (solder lug). However, electrical ratings are reduced: 5A AC/DC versus 5636AB2's 6A AC or 4A DC, and 120V AC versus 125V AC. Substitution is valid only for applications not requiring the full electrical capacity of the 5636AB2.

Q: What is the impact of the 6.35mm panel cutout diameter on 100SP1T4B1M1QEH and 7101L1YZQE compared to 5636AB2's 6.50mm?

A: The 0.15mm reduction in cutout diameter requires verification against existing panel drilling specifications. If panels are pre-drilled for 6.50mm, mechanical fit must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges differ?

A: The 5636AB2 operates from -40°C to 85°C. Both substitutes operate from -30°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -30°C must use the 5636AB2.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between the three parts?

A: 5636AB2 is rated for 50,000 cycles. 100SP1T4B1M1QEH is rated for 40,000 cycles. 7101L1YZQE is rated for 100,000 cycles. Selection depends on application duty cycle requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts carry ROHS3 compliant designation. The 7101L1YZQE carries REACH affected status, while 5636AB2 and 100SP1T4B1M1QEH are REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the actuator length difference?

A: The 5636AB2 has a 16.00mm actuator length. Both substitutes have 16.26mm actuator length. This 0.26mm difference may affect panel aesthetics or clearance in confined spaces.
