Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ATE1GGPC104 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be Mom-Off-Mom
• Current rating must be 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating must be 20V (both AC and DC)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting type must be through-hole compatible
• Termination style must be PC pin
• Actuator type must be standard round
• Actuator length must be within acceptable tolerance of 6.00mm

Environmental Criteria:

• Epoxy sealed terminals required
• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -20°C to 80°C

The ET05MD1ABE from C&K meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. While this substitute exhibits enhanced specifications in certain areas (higher electrical life, improved ingress protection, extended temperature range), these enhancements do not preclude its use as a direct substitute for the obsolete ATE1GGPC104.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ET05MD1ABE is a qualified substitute for the obsolete ATE1GGPC104 based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following factors support this substitution:

Product Status Alignment: The ET05MD1ABE carries an active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity for new designs or production runs requiring replacement of the obsolete ATE1GGPC104.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment. The ET05MD1ABE is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, providing enhanced environmental compliance documentation compared to the ATE1GGPC104.

Electrical Performance: The ET05MD1ABE maintains identical electrical specifications: 0.4VA current rating, 20V AC/DC voltage rating, SPDT circuit configuration, and Mom-Off-Mom switch function. These parameters ensure functional equivalence in existing circuit designs.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components utilize PC pin termination and standard round actuators. The ET05MD1ABE features a right-angle mounting variant with a 6.10mm actuator length (0.10mm variance from the original 6.00mm), which remains within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole PCB applications.

Enhanced Specifications: The ET05MD1ABE provides superior performance characteristics: extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 80°C), tripled electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 10,000 cycles), and IP57 ingress protection. These enhancements do not introduce incompatibility and support deployment in more demanding environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ET05MD1ABE directly replace the ATE1GGPC104 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ET05MD1ABE meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both components share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), current rating (0.4VA), voltage rating (20V AC/DC), termination style (PC pin), and actuator type (standard round). The 0.10mm difference in actuator length (6.10mm versus 6.00mm) falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is product status: the ATE1GGPC104 is obsolete, while the ET05MD1ABE is active. The ET05MD1ABE also features enhanced specifications including right-angle mounting capability, extended operating temperature range, tripled electrical life, and IP57 ingress protection. These enhancements represent improvements over the original design without introducing incompatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The ATE1GGPC104 is supplied in standard packaging, while the ET05MD1ABE is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the right-angle mounting variant of the ET05MD1ABE affect PCB layout compatibility?

A: The ET05MD1ABE is available in a right-angle mounting configuration, whereas the ATE1GGPC104 uses standard through-hole mounting. PCB designs must accommodate the right-angle orientation. If the original design requires standard vertical mounting, mechanical adaptation or PCB redesign may be necessary. The PC pin termination remains compatible with standard through-hole PCB footprints.

Q: What compliance advantages does the ET05MD1ABE provide?

A: The ET05MD1ABE is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, providing enhanced environmental compliance documentation. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment for export and trade purposes.

Q: Is the extended operating temperature range of the ET05MD1ABE (-30°C to 85°C) a concern for compatibility?

A: No. The extended temperature range of the ET05MD1ABE encompasses the original operating range of the ATE1GGPC104 (-20°C to 80°C). This enhancement ensures reliable operation across a broader temperature spectrum without introducing incompatibility with existing designs.

Q: How does the increased electrical life of the ET05MD1ABE affect substitution?

A: The ET05MD1ABE provides 30,000 electrical cycles compared to 10,000 cycles for the ATE1GGPC104. This threefold increase in electrical life represents an improvement that enhances component reliability and extends service life. It does not create incompatibility and supports deployment in applications requiring higher cycle counts.
