DH3C-C5AA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DH3C-C5AA is a snap action SPDT switch manufactured by ZF Electronics, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component operates at 30V DC with a 300mA current rating and features a round pin plunger actuator. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The TS0101 series from E-Switch provides functionally compatible alternatives with active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DH3C-C5AA is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (maintained across all substitutes)
• Switch function: On-Mom (maintained across all substitutes)
• Current rating: 300mA DC (maintained across all substitutes)
• Termination style: PC Pin (maintained across all substitutes)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle (maintained across all substitutes)
• Termination style: PC Pin (maintained across all substitutes)

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant (maintained across all substitutes)
• REACH Unaffected status (maintained across all substitutes)

The TS0101F020V1, TS0101F020V2, TS0101F020V3, and TS0101F020V4 parts from E-Switch meet these core substitution criteria. All substitute parts maintain SPDT circuit configuration, 300mA current rating, through-hole right-angle mounting, and PC pin termination. All substitutes are active products with current manufacturing status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DH3C-C5AA is obsolete and no longer in active production. The TS0101F020V1, TS0101F020V2, TS0101F020V3, and TS0101F020V4 parts from E-Switch are all active products suitable for replacement applications.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute parts provide documented electrical life (50,000 cycles) and mechanical life (100,000 cycles) specifications, whereas the original part does not specify these parameters.

The substitute parts operate at 6V DC, which differs from the original 30V DC rating. Circuit design must account for this voltage difference. All substitutes maintain the 300mA current rating, SPDT circuit configuration, and through-hole right-angle mounting required for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

The TS0101 series substitutes are available in active inventory across all four variants, ensuring supply continuity for production and maintenance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TS0101F020V1, TS0101F020V2, TS0101F020V3, and TS0101F020V4 be used interchangeably with DH3C-C5AA?

A: These parts share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Mom), current rating (300mA DC), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination style (PC pin). However, the substitute parts operate at 6V DC compared to the original 30V DC rating. Circuit design must accommodate this voltage difference. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and PC pin termination for mechanical compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between DH3C-C5AA and the TS0101 series substitutes?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (30V original vs. 6V substitutes), actuator type (round pin plunger vs. lever straight), operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C vs. -25°C to 85°C), and product status (obsolete vs. active). The substitute parts provide documented electrical and mechanical life specifications. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain compatible.

Q: Are all four TS0101 variants (V1, V2, V3, V4) functionally identical?

A: Yes. TS0101F020V1, TS0101F020V2, TS0101F020V3, and TS0101F020V4 share identical electrical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and regulatory compliance. All are SPDT switches rated for 300mA at 6V DC with through-hole right-angle mounting and PC pin termination.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: TS0101F020V1 has 1908 units in stock, TS0101F020V2 has 1111 units, TS0101F020V3 has 994 units, and TS0101F020V4 has 1820 units. All are available as new original stock in bulk packaging.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All TS0101 series substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components.
