APEM 5664TH2RAB9 Toggle Switch DP3T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APEM 5664TH2RAB9 is a panel-mount toggle switch with DP3T (double-pole, triple-throw) circuit configuration, rated for 6A at 125V AC and 4A at 30V DC. This switch is designed for momentary-on-momentary operation and is currently active in production with 1136 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply constraints, design revisions, or regional availability considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the APEM 5664TH2RAB9 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be DP3T to maintain electrical functionality
• Switch Function: Must be Mom-On-Mom for operational compatibility
• Current Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 6A AC and 4A DC requirements
• Voltage Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 125V AC and 30V DC requirements
• Mounting Type: Must be Panel Mount with compatible panel cutout dimensions
• Termination Style: Must be Solder Lug for connection compatibility
• Operating Temperature: Must cover the -40°C to 85°C range or equivalent
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance status

The C&K 7415P3YZQE qualifies as a substitute based on matching circuit configuration (DP3T), switch function (Mom-On-Mom), mounting type (Panel Mount), termination style (Solder Lug), and compliance requirements. Electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the APEM 5664TH2RAB9 and C&K 7415P3YZQE are active products with ROHS3 compliance. The APEM part offers higher AC current rating (6A versus 5A) and extended low-temperature operation (-40°C versus -30°C). The C&K substitute provides higher DC current rating (5A versus 4A) and extended electrical life (40,000 cycles versus 30,000 cycles). Panel cutout dimensions differ by 0.15mm, requiring mechanical verification for panel compatibility. Both parts maintain identical circuit configuration, switch function, and termination style, ensuring functional interchangeability within the specified electrical parameters of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C&K 7415P3YZQE directly replace the APEM 5664TH2RAB9 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications operating within the C&K part's electrical specifications (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC, -30°C to 85°C). Applications requiring 6A AC operation or temperatures below -30°C must use the APEM part.

Q: What is the significance of the panel cutout dimension difference (6.50mm versus 6.35mm)?

A: The 0.15mm difference requires mechanical verification. Existing panel cutouts designed for the APEM 6.50mm diameter may require modification to accommodate the C&K 6.35mm diameter bushing.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same solder lug termination process?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical solder lug termination style, allowing equivalent soldering procedures and PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the impact of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The APEM part operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the C&K part operates from -30°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -30°C must use the APEM part.

Q: Do both parts require jumper configuration for triple throw operation?

A: Yes. Both the APEM 5664TH2RAB9 and C&K 7415P3YZQE require a jumper to achieve triple throw functionality.

Q: How do the electrical life ratings compare?

A: The C&K 7415P3YZQE provides 40,000 cycles versus the APEM 5664TH2RAB9's 30,000 cycles, representing a 33% increase in rated electrical life.
