MDP G Pushbutton Switch SPST-NO Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MDP G is a through-hole pushbutton switch manufactured by C&K, configured as a single-pole single-throw normally open (SPST-NO) keyswitch with momentary operation. This component is rated for 50mA at 100V AC/DC and features tactile feedback with a black plunger actuator. The MDP G is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MDP G is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (momentary off-mom operation), current rating (50mA AC/DC), voltage ratings (100V AC and DC), mounting type (through hole), actuator type (plunger for cap), actuator color (black), termination style (PC pin), operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C), and electrical life (200,000 cycles).

The substitute part MDPGLFS maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor while differing in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (tray versus unspecified). Both components belong to the C&K MDP series and are functionally interchangeable for applications requiring SPST-NO pushbutton switch operation within the specified electrical and environmental parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDPGLFS serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MDP G. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and operational characteristics. The primary distinction lies in product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance.

The MDP G is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The MDPGLFS is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives. For legacy system maintenance where the original MDP G is unavailable, the MDPGLFS provides electrical and mechanical compatibility without design modification.

Both components maintain REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. Packaging differs between the two parts (tray for MDPGLFS versus unspecified for MDP G), which may affect procurement and handling procedures but does not impact functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDPGLFS directly replace MDP G in existing applications?

A: Yes. The MDPGLFS maintains identical electrical specifications (50mA, 100V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), mechanical form factor (through-hole mounting, plunger actuator), and operational characteristics (200,000 cycle electrical life, -25°C to 70°C operating range). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute MDP G with MDPGLFS?

A: The MDP G is obsolete. The MDPGLFS is an active product from the same C&K MDP series with identical functional specifications, ensuring continued availability for system maintenance and new implementations.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The MDP G is RoHS non-compliant, while MDPGLFS is ROHS3 compliant. Both maintain REACH unaffected status. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, MDPGLFS is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (tray for MDPGLFS) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging differences impact procurement, storage, and handling procedures only.

Q: Are the electrical life and operating temperature specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 200,000 electrical cycles and operate across the -25°C to 70°C temperature range.
