GS01MAKE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GS01MAKE is a slide switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration with 0.4VA current rating at 20V. This component is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications with gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and epoxy sealed terminals. The GS01MAKE is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GS01MAKE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC)
• Mounting type and termination style (Through Hole, Right Angle; PC Pin)
• Actuator dimensions (1.27mm length, 1.02mm travel)
• Contact finish (Gold plating)
• Mechanical and electrical life ratings (40,000 cycles)
• Features (Epoxy sealed terminals)

The GS01MABE meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing direct functional equivalence with enhanced compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GS01MABE is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete GS01MAKE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine functional compatibility.

The GS01MABE offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance satisfies modern regulatory requirements
• Extended lower operating temperature limit (-40°C versus -30°C) provides broader thermal operating range
• Tray packaging accommodates automated assembly processes

Selection of GS01MABE is appropriate for new designs and legacy system updates requiring GS01MAKE functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GS01MABE directly replace GS01MAKE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters including circuit configuration, current/voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator dimensions, and contact specifications.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these parts?

A: GS01MAKE uses beryllium copper contacts while GS01MABE uses copper contacts. Both are gold-plated and rated for identical electrical performance at 0.4VA and 20V.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of GS01MABE affect compatibility?

A: No. The GS01MABE's lower minimum operating temperature (-40°C versus -30°C) represents an expansion of the operating envelope. Applications within the original -30°C to 85°C range remain fully compatible.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: GS01MAKE is supplied in bulk packaging while GS01MABE is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is GS01MAKE classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. GS01MABE provides equivalent functionality with active product status and improved regulatory compliance.
