APEM Inc. 5646ADB Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APEM Inc. 5646ADB is a panel-mounted toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 6A at 125V AC and 4A at 30V DC. This switch is designed for On-On applications with non-illuminated operation and solder lug termination. The product is currently active and ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter ranges for panel-mounted DPDT toggle switches with solder lug termination.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5646ADB are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the application requirements
• Termination style must be solder lug

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting type must be panel mount
• Bushing thread must be 1/4-40
• Panel cutout diameter must accommodate the main part's 6.50mm specification or be compatible with standard panel preparations
• Actuator type must be standard round

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• ECCN classification EAR99

The identified substitutes meet these core criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for DPDT toggle switch applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5646ADB (APEM Inc.) - Primary specification. Rated for 6A AC at 125V and 4A DC at 30V. Operating temperature range -40°C to 85°C. ROHS3 compliant. Electrical life 50,000 cycles. Active product status.

100DP1T1B1M1REH (E-Switch) - Suitable for applications with reduced voltage and current requirements (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC). Operating temperature range -30°C to 85°C. ROHS3 compliant. Electrical life 40,000 cycles. Active product status. Panel cutout diameter 6.35mm requires verification for panel compatibility.

7201SYZGE (C&K) - Suitable for applications requiring 5A AC at 120V and 5A DC at 28V. Operating temperature range -30°C to 85°C. ROHS3 compliant. Electrical life 100,000 cycles. Active product status. Panel cutout diameter 6.35mm requires verification for panel compatibility. REACH affected status noted.

Selection should be based on specific application voltage, current, and temperature requirements within the rated parameters of each part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP1T1B1M1REH replace the 5646ADB in all applications?

A: No. The 100DP1T1B1M1REH is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, which is significantly lower than the 5646ADB's 6A at 125V AC rating. Substitution is only valid for applications with voltage and current requirements within the 100DP1T1B1M1REH's specifications.

Q: What is the difference in panel cutout compatibility?

A: The 5646ADB requires a 6.50mm diameter circular cutout, while both substitute parts require 6.35mm diameter cutouts. Panel preparation must accommodate the specific part being installed. All three parts share the same 1/4-40 bushing thread specification.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 5646ADB, 100DP1T1B1M1REH, and 7201SYZGE are all ROHS3 compliant. The 7201SYZGE is noted as REACH affected, which may require additional documentation for certain applications.

Q: What is the electrical life difference between these parts?

A: The 5646ADB is rated for 50,000 cycles, the 100DP1T1B1M1REH for 40,000 cycles, and the 7201SYZGE for 100,000 cycles. Application duty cycle requirements should determine the appropriate selection.

Q: Do all parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: No. The 5646ADB operates from -40°C to 85°C, while both substitute parts operate from -30°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -30°C require the 5646ADB.

Q: What termination style do all three parts use?

A: All three parts use solder lug termination, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB and panel-mounted circuit connections.
