GP11MAKE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GP11MAKE is a pushbutton switch manufactured by C&K, classified as SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) with a current rating of 0.4VA at 20V. This component features a standard through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration with a round plunger actuator and white cap. The switch is sealed to IP57 standards with epoxy-sealed terminals, suitable for dust-protected and waterproof applications.

The GP11MAKE is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this switch.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GP11MAKE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC)
• Mounting type and orientation (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Actuator characteristics (Round, Plunger)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Ingress protection rating (IP57)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life cycles (40,000 cycles)

The GP11MABE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both parts belong to the C&K GP series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: GP11MAKE is obsolete, while GP11MABE is active and available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GP11MABE is the direct substitute for the GP11MAKE. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on the following considerations:

Product Availability: The GP11MAKE is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (735 pcs). The GP11MABE is active with greater availability (1090 pcs), making it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Regulatory Compliance: The GP11MABE achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the GP11MAKE is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the GP11MABE is the appropriate selection.

Packaging: The GP11MABE is supplied in box packaging, while the GP11MAKE uses standard packaging. This distinction may affect logistics and handling procedures but does not impact functional performance.

Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical life cycles, ingress protection, and operating temperature ranges. Direct substitution is functionally equivalent with no circuit redesign required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GP11MABE be used as a direct replacement for GP11MAKE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The GP11MABE is functionally equivalent to the GP11MAKE across all electrical and mechanical parameters. No circuit modifications are required. The components are pin-compatible and maintain identical performance characteristics.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute GP11MAKE with GP11MABE?

A: The GP11MAKE is obsolete. The GP11MABE provides continuity of supply while maintaining full functional equivalence. Additionally, the GP11MABE meets ROHS3 compliance standards, whereas the GP11MAKE does not.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: The GP11MABE is supplied in box packaging, while the GP11MAKE uses standard packaging. This affects storage and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same ingress protection and environmental specifications?

A: Yes. Both the GP11MAKE and GP11MABE are rated IP57 (dust protected and waterproof) with epoxy-sealed terminals. Both operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and support 40,000 mechanical and electrical cycles.

Q: Is the GP11MABE suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The GP11MABE is ROHS3 compliant. If your application requires RoHS certification, the GP11MABE is the appropriate selection.
