SE2EGPC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SE2EGPC is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) through-hole component with non-shorting contact timing. This switch is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC and features gold-plated copper alloy contacts with IP67 dust-tight and waterproof protection. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SE2EGPC is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-Off-On
• Contact timing: Non-Shorting (BBM)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Switch travel: 2.20mm
• Electrical life: 10,000 Cycles

Allowable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may exceed the original specifications in current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range, provided the original application requirements are met. Contact material and finish specifications may differ if the substitute maintains equivalent electrical performance and environmental protection.

The ASE2E-2M-10-Z from Nidec Components Corporation satisfies all mandatory matching criteria and provides enhanced electrical ratings (50mA at 60V versus 0.4VA at 20V) and improved temperature range (-20°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 80°C), making it suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring the SE2EGPC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ASE2E-2M-10-Z is a direct functional substitute for the SE2EGPC based on matching circuit topology, switching characteristics, and mechanical specifications. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

Product Status: The ASE2E-2M-10-Z maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the SE2EGPC is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: The ASE2E-2M-10-Z is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. The SE2EGPC is RoHS non-compliant and may present procurement restrictions in regulated markets.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part provides enhanced electrical ratings (50mA at 60V) compared to the original specification (0.4VA at 20V), ensuring compatibility with the original application while offering additional design margin.

Operating Environment: The extended temperature range of the ASE2E-2M-10-Z (-20°C to 85°C) provides improved thermal performance relative to the SE2EGPC (-20°C to 80°C).

Selection of the ASE2E-2M-10-Z is appropriate for new designs and legacy system updates requiring DPDT On-Off-On slide switch functionality with through-hole mounting and PC pin termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ASE2E-2M-10-Z directly replace the SE2EGPC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), contact timing (Non-Shorting BBM), mounting type (Through Hole), termination style (PC Pin), and switch travel (2.20mm). The substitute part meets or exceeds all electrical and environmental specifications of the original component.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (ASE2E-2M-10-Z is active; SE2EGPC is obsolete), regulatory compliance (ASE2E-2M-10-Z is ROHS3 compliant; SE2EGPC is non-compliant), electrical ratings (ASE2E-2M-10-Z: 50mA at 60V; SE2EGPC: 0.4VA at 20V), and operating temperature range (ASE2E-2M-10-Z: -20°C to 85°C; SE2EGPC: -20°C to 80°C).

Q: Are there packaging differences between the SE2EGPC and ASE2E-2M-10-Z?

A: The SE2EGPC is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the ASE2E-2M-10-Z is supplied in tray packaging. Both parts use identical through-hole PC pin termination suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the actuator length difference, and does it affect compatibility?

A: The SE2EGPC has an actuator length of 3.50mm, while the ASE2E-2M-10-Z has an actuator length of 2.80mm. This difference affects the physical profile of the switch lever but does not impact electrical compatibility. PCB footprint and mechanical clearance must be evaluated for the specific application.

Q: Is the ASE2E-2M-10-Z suitable for applications requiring the original 20V rating?

A: Yes. The ASE2E-2M-10-Z is rated for 60V AC/DC, which exceeds the original 20V requirement. The substitute part is fully compatible with applications designed for the SE2EGPC voltage specification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level of the ASE2E-2M-10-Z?

A: The ASE2E-2M-10-Z has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
