MJTP1232D Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The MJTP1232D is an active tactile switch manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) applications. This through-hole mounted component operates at 0.05A @ 12VDC with top actuation and tactile feedback. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating suitability for standard storage and handling conditions. Substitute parts are identified to address application requirements such as higher voltage ratings, extended temperature ranges, or alternative mechanical specifications while maintaining core functional compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the MJTP1232D is determined by the following critical parameters:
- Circuit Configuration: Must remain SPST-NO
- Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole with PC Pin termination
- Actuator Orientation: Must be Top Actuated
- Outline Dimensions: Must be 6.00mm x 6.00mm
- Mechanical Life: Must meet or exceed 100,000 Cycles
- RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status
The substitute part 2-1825955-6 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, FSMJ series) qualifies as an equivalent based on matching circuit configuration, mounting type, actuator orientation, outline dimensions, and mechanical life specification. Variations in voltage rating (24VDC vs. 12VDC), operating temperature range, switch travel, and actuator material represent design differences that may be accommodated depending on application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Both the MJTP1232D and 2-1825955-6 maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on application voltage requirements and operating environment constraints.
The MJTP1232D is suitable for 12VDC applications within the -20°C to 70°C operating range. The 2-1825955-6 accommodates higher voltage systems (24VDC) and extended temperature operation (-35°C to 85°C), making it applicable to industrial environments with broader thermal demands. The difference in switch travel (0.25mm vs. 0.10mm) reflects distinct mechanical response characteristics that may influence tactile feedback perception and actuation timing in specific circuit designs.
Both parts share identical mechanical life ratings, outline dimensions, actuator height, and operating force, ensuring PCB layout compatibility and consistent user interface behavior within their respective voltage and temperature specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 2-1825955-6 be used as a direct replacement for the MJTP1232D in a 12VDC circuit?
A: Yes. The 2-1825955-6 is rated for 24VDC operation, which exceeds the 12VDC requirement. The lower voltage application does not stress the component beyond its design limits. Physical dimensions, mounting configuration, and circuit topology remain identical.
Q: What is the significance of the different switch travel specifications (0.25mm vs. 0.10mm)?
A: Switch travel defines the distance the actuator moves before electrical contact closure occurs. The MJTP1232D requires 0.25mm travel, while the 2-1825955-6 requires 0.10mm. This difference affects actuation sensitivity and response time. Applications with specific tactile feedback or timing requirements should account for this variation.
Q: Are both parts suitable for storage in standard warehouse conditions?
A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard dry storage conditions are appropriate for both components.
Q: Does the extended temperature range of the 2-1825955-6 affect its performance in standard room-temperature applications?
A: No. The extended range (-35°C to 85°C) represents the component's design capability. Operation within the MJTP1232D's original range (-20°C to 70°C) does not degrade performance or reliability of the substitute part.
Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?
A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification. REACH status differs (MJTP1232D: REACH Unaffected; 2-1825955-6: Vendor Undefined), but this does not affect functional equivalence for component selection purposes.
