Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CT05-1535-G1 qualifies as a direct substitute for the CM5-2376 based on alignment in the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both devices are SPST-NO reed switches, maintaining identical switching logic
• Switching Current (AC): Both handle 250mA AC switching current
• Mounting and Termination: Both utilize surface mount configuration with gull wing termination, ensuring PCB compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: Identical -40°C to 125°C operating window
• Manufacturer: Both are supplied by Coto Technology, ensuring consistent design philosophy and reliability standards
• Type: Both are molded body reed switches, providing equivalent physical and electrical construction

The CT05-1535-G1 provides an active product alternative to the obsolete CM5-2376, with enhanced DC current capability and higher power rating, making it suitable for applications requiring expanded electrical headroom.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CT05-1535-G1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete CM5-2376. The CT05-1535-G1 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring ongoing availability and regulatory alignment. Both components are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying environmental and hazardous substance requirements.

For applications operating at the CM5-2376's AC voltage specification of 175V, design verification is required as the CT05-1535-G1 is rated for 100V AC switching. Applications limited to DC operation at voltages up to 140V, or AC operation at 100V, can proceed with direct substitution. The CT05-1535-G1's higher DC current rating (350mA) and power capacity (5W) provide design margin for existing circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CT05-1535-G1 directly replace CM5-2376 in all applications? A: Direct substitution is valid for applications operating at or below 100V AC and 140V DC. Applications utilizing the full 175V AC rating of the CM5-2376 require design review, as the substitute is rated for 100V AC switching.

Q: What are the packaging differences? A: The CM5-2376 is supplied in standard packaging. The CT05-1535-G1 is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging options, facilitating both manual and automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there differences in switching speed? A: The input specifications do not provide switching time parameters for the CT05-1535-G1. Verification of timing requirements against the substitute component datasheet is necessary for time-critical applications.

Q: Why is the CM5-2376 obsolete? A: The CM5-2376 has been discontinued by Coto Technology. The CT05-1535-G1, from the active CT05 series, is the manufacturer-designated successor for new designs and ongoing support.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant? A: Both the CM5-2376 (RoHS Compliant) and CT05-1535-G1 (ROHS3 Compliant) meet RoHS environmental standards. Both are REACH unaffected, confirming compliance with chemical restriction regulations.
