GP12MSAKE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GP12MSAKE is a pushbutton switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with 0.4VA current rating at 20V. This surface mount, right angle component is designed for standard applications requiring momentary switching functionality with IP57 ingress protection. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GP12MSAKE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Mom momentary operation)
• Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC)
• Mounting type and orientation (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Actuator characteristics (Round, Plunger)
• Termination style (Gull Wing)
• Environmental protection rating (IP57)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life cycles (40,000 cycles)

The GP12MSABE(T&R) meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status, with the substitute available in Tape & Reel configuration and active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GP12MSABE(T&R) is the direct substitute for the obsolete GP12MSAKE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. The substitute offers the following advantages:

• Active production status ensures long-term availability
• ROHS3 compliance meets current environmental regulations, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant
• Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes
• Identical performance characteristics across all operating conditions

Selection of the GP12MSABE(T&R) is appropriate for new designs, production continuity, and maintenance applications requiring the GP12MSAKE specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GP12MSABE(T&R) be used as a direct replacement for GP12MSAKE?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all functional parameters including circuit configuration, voltage/current ratings, mounting type, and environmental protection rating.

Q: What is the difference between GP12MSAKE and GP12MSABE(T&R)?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), packaging format (standard vs. Tape & Reel), and RoHS compliance status (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant). Functional specifications are identical.

Q: Is Tape & Reel packaging compatible with existing assembly equipment?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly. Compatibility depends on your specific assembly equipment specifications. Verify your equipment supports TR packaging format.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The GP12MSABE(T&R) is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. The original GP12MSAKE is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C with equivalent mechanical and electrical life ratings of 40,000 cycles.
