ET07LD1CBE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ET07LD1CBE is an active-status toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with 0.4VA current rating at 20V AC/DC. This through-hole mounted component is designed for on-off-momentary switching applications with epoxy sealed terminals and IP57 ingress protection. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, regional sourcing constraints, or specific mechanical requirements such as actuator length variations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ET07LD1CBE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration must remain SPDT with identical on-off-momentary switch function. Electrical ratings must match exactly: 0.4VA current capacity and 20V AC/DC voltage rating. Mounting method must be through-hole with PC pin termination to ensure PCB compatibility. Operating temperature range must encompass or equal -30°C to 85°C. Electrical life specification must meet or exceed 30,000 cycles. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) are required for regulatory and reliability equivalence.

Mechanical variations such as actuator length and surface finish (chrome plating versus nickel plating) do not disqualify substitution when all electrical and functional parameters align, provided the physical dimensions accommodate the intended panel cutout and mounting footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TL38P000000 (APEM Inc.) qualifies as an electrical and functional equivalent to the ET07LD1CBE based on identical circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting method, termination style, operating temperature range, electrical life, and RoHS3 compliance status.

Selection between these parts must account for mechanical and environmental differences. The ET07LD1CBE features an 8.13mm actuator length with IP57 ingress protection rating, suitable for sealed or moisture-exposed applications. The TL38P000000 provides a shorter 5.30mm actuator with nickel-plated brass finish and does not specify ingress protection. Panel cutout dimensions and mounting depth requirements must be verified against the intended application before substitution.

Both parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The ET07LD1CBE carries REACH Affected designation, while the TL38P000000 is REACH Unaffected. Regulatory requirements for the end application must be confirmed to determine if this distinction impacts part selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TL38P000000 replace ET07LD1CBE in all applications?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. However, the 2.83mm difference in actuator length (8.13mm versus 5.30mm) may affect panel fit and user ergonomics. Verify that the shorter actuator accommodates your panel thickness and cutout design. Additionally, the ET07LD1CBE provides IP57 ingress protection; if your application requires sealed operation, confirm that the TL38P000000 meets environmental specifications.

Q: Are there differences in reliability or lifespan?

A: Both parts specify 30,000 electrical cycles and identical operating temperature ranges (-30°C to 85°C). Reliability is equivalent under specified conditions. The difference in actuator material finish (chrome versus nickel plating) does not affect electrical performance but may influence corrosion resistance in specific chemical environments.

Q: What is the impact of REACH compliance differences?

A: The ET07LD1CBE is REACH Affected; the TL38P000000 is REACH Unaffected. If your application or end market requires REACH compliance documentation, the ET07LD1CBE may require additional regulatory support. Verify your regional and customer requirements before substitution.

Q: Do packaging differences affect component quality?

A: The ET07LD1CBE is supplied in Tray packaging; the TL38P000000 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both are new original stock. Packaging format does not affect component electrical or mechanical specifications. Confirm that bulk packaging meets your assembly and handling requirements.

Q: Can I use TL38P000000 if IP57 protection is required?

A: The TL38P000000 does not specify ingress protection rating. If IP57 sealing is a functional requirement, the ET07LD1CBE is the specified choice. Do not substitute without confirming that the alternative part meets your environmental protection criteria.
