APEM Inc. 810KSAB Pushbutton Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APEM Inc. 810KSAB is a pushbutton switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This component is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications with a plunger actuator and white cap. The 810KSAB is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this series is no longer available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 810KSAB is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit Configuration: SPDT topology is mandatory for functional equivalence, ensuring identical switching behavior across all contact positions.

Switch Function: On-Momentary operation must be preserved to maintain the same user interaction and electrical behavior.

Mounting Type: Through-hole, right-angle configuration is required for mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and panel cutouts.

Termination Style: PC pin termination ensures compatibility with standard through-hole soldering processes.

Operating Temperature Range: The -30°C to 85°C specification must be met or exceeded to ensure reliable operation across the intended environmental conditions.

Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are required for regulatory alignment.

The Carling Technologies 3MN-SP7-P1-B6-M6GE meets these core substitution criteria. While this substitute exhibits higher voltage and current ratings (120V AC, 28V DC, 1A), these represent design margins that do not compromise compatibility in applications originally specified for the 810KSAB's 20V, 0.4VA rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Carling Technologies 3MN-SP7-P1-B6-M6GE is a qualified substitute for the obsolete APEM 810KSAB based on functional equivalence across all critical parameters. Both components share identical circuit topology, switch function, mounting configuration, and termination style. The substitute maintains the same operating temperature range and meets equivalent compliance requirements under RoHS3 and REACH regulations.

The 3MN-SP7-P1-B6-M6GE is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The higher voltage and current ratings of the substitute provide design margin without introducing incompatibility in applications originally specified for the 810KSAB.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Carling 3MN-SP7-P1-B6-M6GE be used as a direct replacement for the APEM 810KSAB?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical SPDT circuit configuration, on-momentary switch function, through-hole right-angle mounting, and PC pin termination. The substitute's higher voltage and current ratings do not compromise compatibility in applications specified for the 810KSAB's 20V, 0.4VA rating.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The APEM 810KSAB is classified as obsolete. The Carling 3MN-SP7-P1-B6-M6GE is an active production component, providing assured availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Are there differences in electrical life between these components?

A: The 810KSAB is rated for 60,000 electrical cycles, while the 3MN-SP7-P1-B6-M6GE is rated for 50,000 cycles. Both ratings are suitable for standard pushbutton switch applications. Application-specific cycle requirements should be evaluated independently.

Q: Do both components meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 810KSAB and 3MN-SP7-P1-B6-M6GE are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and panel cutout requirements identical?

A: Both components share through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration with plunger actuators and white caps. Panel cutout dimensions are not specified in the provided data for either component. Physical verification is recommended during design integration.
