APEM 5664THAB9 Toggle Switch DP3T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APEM 5664THAB9 is a panel-mounted toggle switch with DP3T (double-pole triple-throw) circuit configuration, rated for 6A at 125V AC and 4A at 30V DC. This switch is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical mounting specifications, and circuit configurations align within acceptable tolerances for the intended application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the APEM 5664THAB9 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be DP3T with On-On-On switching function
• Current rating must meet or exceed 6A at 125V AC; DC ratings of 4A at 30V or higher are acceptable
• Panel mount configuration with solder lug termination
• Panel cutout diameter tolerance: 6.35mm to 6.50mm
• Actuator length within 11.40mm ±0.10mm range
• Operating temperature range must encompass -40°C to 85°C or be compatible with the application environment
• RoHS3 compliance required for regulatory alignment

The C&K 7411P3YZQE meets these substitution criteria with equivalent DP3T circuit configuration, panel mount design, and solder lug termination. Minor variations in current rating (5A AC/DC vs. 6A AC/4A DC) and voltage specifications (120V AC/28V DC vs. 125V AC/30V DC) remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for most applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the APEM 5664THAB9 and C&K 7411P3YZQE are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements. The APEM 5664THAB9 provides extended low-temperature operation to -40°C and higher AC current capacity at 6A. The C&K 7411P3YZQE offers increased electrical life at 40,000 cycles and unified AC/DC current rating of 5A, with anti-rotation actuator design. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements regarding temperature extremes, current demands, and cycle life expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C&K 7411P3YZQE directly replace the APEM 5664THAB9 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible in applications where AC current requirements do not exceed 5A and operating temperatures remain above -30°C. Applications requiring 6A AC operation or temperatures below -30°C require the original APEM part.

Q: What is the significance of the panel cutout diameter difference (6.50mm vs. 6.35mm)?

A: The 0.15mm difference falls within standard mechanical tolerance ranges for panel-mounted switches. Both parts are compatible with panel cutouts designed for 6.50mm diameter openings; the C&K part requires slightly less clearance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for DC applications?

A: Yes. The APEM 5664THAB9 is rated for 4A DC at 30V. The C&K 7411P3YZQE is rated for 5A DC at 28V. Both support DC circuit operation within their specified ratings.

Q: What does the "Jumper needed to achieve triple throw" feature mean?

A: Both parts require an external jumper connection to achieve full DP3T (triple-throw) functionality. This is a standard configuration requirement for these switch models.

Q: How do the electrical life ratings compare?

A: The C&K 7411P3YZQE provides 40,000 cycles versus the APEM 5664THAB9 at 30,000 cycles. For applications with high switching frequency, the C&K part offers extended operational life.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations for substitution?

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 5664THAB9.
